Designers by the shore

No Snooki is not designing a guido pad (Sorry NJ - but when I hear Jersey Shore my mind goes into fully sic mode)..... Sketch 42 recently posted these pics from "Designers by the shore" I couldn't stop thinking about the beautiful images taking allot of inspiration from mid century furniture and design Post here.

Brooklyn Limestone = The perfect mix of Blue & Grey

I have been inspired by blogger Brooklyn limestone FOR LIKE EVER (as I am sure you have also). If Mrs Limestone would let me I would move in yesterday - it seams that every detail is so well planned and designed with the right shades of steel blues and greys. In our next renovation I know I will be taking allot of inspiration from these images:

Home Decor - Vintage maps

Out to lunch with some friends over the weekend I was seeking some recommendations for places to visit in Europe - a few places were thrown about, France, Italy, Germany..... As most of you correctly guessed I have started an amazing new job so unfortunately travel is on a back burner for a short while.

I Imagine Berlin would be a beautiful -loving this beautiful Berlin Map pillow, the fabric got me thinking (and googling) beautiful old maps from the web...

Chevron tiles & the new job

I am very pleased that I have a new job - it is a challenge but such a dream. The building I am working on features some pretty amazing specially glazed chevron tiles (amongst many other amazing things).

Here is a photo hint....apparently 2 in every 3 people can recognise this building - what are you the one or the two?.

Style files - Ombre hair & Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Excuse me whist I digress from our regular programming to discuss a little hair colour tend I have been digging "Ombre"... I have just seen some pics of Rosie Huntington-Whitely, a Victoria's secret model and Transformers actress. I think Rosies hair is a great example of the ombre hair trend done well, it looks slightly sun kissed and natural.

Not too sure about Drew Barrymores "my hairdresser is on a 6 month holiday" ombre hair.

What do you think? Yes or No?

Inspired - Paper pendant lights

How fun are these paper pendant lights from Etsy store Zipper 8 Lighting 

As usual my mind is spinning with a few DIY options - what do you think, would you give it a go?.
