Funky wallpaper stickers

At first I wasn't sure about these wallpaper stickers that have suddenly started popping up in the interior design scene.

....but now I think am converted. In the right setting, why not? They can add add a certain whimsical humor to a space. The first image is my favourite, it's playful and funny, I can see it in my own home, but I'll probably replace the couch.

What do you guys think, can you see any of them in your home?

Have a great weekend all, seeing that tomorrow is predicted to be 40'C, I'll probably be staying at home all day, way too hot for me. Anyways, it'll be a perfect opportunity to catch up on all the blog reading that I missed whilst in London. As usual, am always happy to hear what you folks are getting up to.

Enjoy your break and see you on Monday!

Honey I'm Home!

I'm home my darlings, and what a relaxing break, I did nothing! Again, I apologise for the internet failure, but as fate would have it, the connection at my parents house decided to play up 2 days prior to my arrival, and my internet key didn't fuction properly in Britain, it took a few attempts to finally send out my emergency post. Anyway, things are back to normal now, blogging as usual tomorrow.

Oh and one more thing, I have no pics of London, I forgot my camera at home, it serves me right for packing 2 hours before my flight. No worries folks, as I'm back to London for good next month, more on that when dates are finalised.

....in the meanwhile, here's a pic of the Dolomite mountains, where I might be holidaying this summer.

 

...you should really see it covered in snow, even more gorge!

Cheers folks for your love and support through the last couple of days, much appreciated.

An English Summer

It's so good to be back home, sleeping in my old room, my mum making a fuss over me, and enjoying the great British summer. Contrary to popular belief, we are actually having a really good weather, the sun is out, and unlike Venice, it's not burning.

Actually, this is a really good time to be here, as the strawberry season has just begun. Let me tell you folks, there's nothing like home-grown English strawberries, truly delicious I say. So this weekend, I'll be kicking back, taking it easy, no adventures, just eating strawberries with whipped cream.

Have a good weekend darlings, and if you have time, then drop me a line and let me know what you are up to.

Bye - Am off to London

Seriously I am! I completely forgot to tell you folks 2 weeks ago, that I had booked my flights to London. One whole week! Whoo! It happened over the weekend, and I think on a particularly eventful weekend, so by Monday, it became old news. Fear not my beautiful darlings, I will still be blogging as usual, bringing you all the gossip from home sweet home.

Bye folks, I need to pack my bags now, am leaving for the airport soon

P.s...isn't this the cutest suitcase, if only it was mine.

Wish List Wednesday

It recently dawned on me a couple of days ago, that I haven't got the right summer shoes. I love my balley flats, but they are way too hot for this weather. I am in desperate need of the triple S. "Smoking, summer, sandals (yes am quite proud of that concoction). These are my 10 best picks, and you know what the best thing is?

They are all on sale, so check out the kurt Geiger website. Unfortunately my international darlings, they only deliver to the UK, Northern Ireland and Ireland.

I'll keep a look out for some great deals for you guys too, and if anyone has one they would like to share, then please be my guest. All I ask is that they are the triple S, and on sale.

Masculine Kitchens

This post from apartment therapy totally made me smile. My dears it seems that kitchens also have a gender, the feminine and the masculine. No jokes.

Exhibit A, the macho kitchens

Apparently the key element that most masculine kitchens have, is their industrial style, be gone with the frilly aprons and pastel coloured fridges, the steel is in.

I don't know about you guys, but I can easily see a woman in all of those kitchens, surely it's due to personal taste, right? Well am not one to make a fuss, if the guys want to take over, I say we let them.

What say you, my darlings? Are these kitchens really that masculine?

Spacious family home

Welcome back friends, good weekend? Mine was a little less quite than I had initially thought, but very exciting all the same. I went jet skiing yesterday, well more paddling around the sea than anything else, it turns out it's not as easy as it looks on baywatch.
So this morning am in the mood for a touch of comfort and luxury.

What a beauty, right?

I think it's halfway between a gallery and a home. What do you folks say?

A Venetian Sunset

Happy Friday! It has to be said that this one took a bit long to get here, or perhaps it's just me. Am still not fully recovered from last week's island hopping, each night I plan to go to bed early, but it never happens. Either it's midnight ice cream or spritz with the girls, there's always something keeping me past my ideal bed time. On the other hand, it's summer, the nights are warm and comforting, so it's got to be a sin to retire from the night early.
This weekend am planning to take it a bit easy, I will sleep a lot, and maybe go to the beach. What are you folks upto?

Have a nice weekend my dears, here's a piece of venetian sunset for you to enjoy!

Beautiful Stone House

I've seen this house a couple of times on the net, and I love it, but for some reason I've never blogged about it.

Well there you go my lovelies.

It definitely has the wow factor, right?

....a dip in the pool anyone?

For me the beauty of it lies within the simple use of materials and excellent creation of space. It's minimal, yet warm and inviting.

What do you think folks?
