Project fail

Oh Pinterest, you gave me so many ideas for Christmas this year.

And I did not complete a single one of them.

Hats off to all the motivated, creative and inspiring people out there who actually 'do' while I 'talk'.

There's always next year . . .

In the meantime, happy Christmas Eve everyone!

I'm celebrating at Mum and Dad's with a swim, bottle of bubbles and Carols by Candlelight on telly.

Perfect!

Stuck in the middle

It all started on The Block.

My love affair with 'floating' beds, that is.

And then it got more intense when I visited my friend Bree in Hobart.

I stayed in their spare room which was a HUGE front formal lounge with a gorgeous fireplace and my bed 'floating' in the middle.

It felt so luxurious!

And then Vogue Living featured a floating bed in its 'L'Escalier' story. Oh la la!

So the love affair continues. But I'll never be able to make it work in my little shoebox of a house.

Instead, I shall indulge in my secret love online . . .

GORGEOUS in front of a doorway . . .

Like an island floating in the sea!

I particularly love this one on the angle, so quirky!

Whimsical is the only word for this.

Great use of space behind the bed. And check out the fireplace. FABULOUS!

This one seems most realistic . . . maybe one day . . .

And hands down, my absolute favey.

Bookshelves, ladder, big windows, flowers, organised chaos.

Love love love!

Dream a little dream

I have never woken up more excited on a Sunday morning than today.

Daylight savings meant an extra hour to play with . . . and the new edition of Adore Home mag in my inbox! I was actually up in the 7 o'clock hour . . . last time that happened on a Sunday, I think I was getting home, not getting up (and it would've been in my uni years!) so put the bonus hour to good use in bed with my laptop (and a half finished bag of CCs from Friday night!)

Gorgeous issue of Adore Home. Loved every page and clicked through to so many online shops and stockists. Really appreciate the fact they cater for all budgets.

So, I've found my new dream home. Naomi Stein's home in the Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia (doesn't the suburb just sound dreamy?) is a gorgeous blend of colour and glam. It's bold and eclectic and I love it.

Cool bedhead and a lovely, light bedroom. The bedside table is divine.

How cool does she make a boring Ikea Expedit bookcase look!?

Goooooood cluster wall, and love that shade of hot pink desk.

And now I know where this image comes from - I think I've pinned it before - love so much about it. The coffee table vignette, the cushions, the sofa, the navy frame on the doors. Perfection!

So it's been a luverly start to Sunday. And to make things even better, we've got a sweet little lunch for Miss Brown's birthday today at the SFC. I'm doing dips so had better drag myself out of bed soon and get started in the kitchen!

Happy Sunday Funday to you all!
