a wall of draws

I saw this on design sponge* the other day. I would love a wall that had lots of different, beautiful draws inserted into it. Big, long, decorative ones, heavy, fat, metal ones where I could store stamps and inks, small, sweet, intricate ones with little handles filled with gems and sparkles. And it would reach right from the floor to the roof. I would have a ladder to climb up to reach the most precious draws at the top.

Humm i feel like I’m harry potter choosing my wand now. Ha, my childish fantasies.

original 70's wallpaper

During the weekend I stayed with one of my good friend’s grandparents. I have heard many stories about these people and they outlived expectations by far. They were extremely welcoming and were more than happy to share tall tales of their migration the New Zealand (via Australia on a flying boat) from Holland. One little treasure I couldn’t help but record was the amazing wallpaper they had in their home. It was in mint condition and I was informed it was original from the 70’s. I’m not sure what I will do with the patterns but I hope to use them for some kind of design; maybe a new blog design…

Anyway I thought it would be nice to share with you.

wine clips

Wine Clips are a fantastic way to express one creativity and you don’t even have to be especially crafty to do it! They would also make a wonderful gift for the friend that is always so hard to buy for! So if you fancy yourself as a bit of a DIYer you should check out this post on Design Sponge*.

lobster & swan

If you haven’t seen Lobster & Swan on etsy you should really check them out. They have just put some cute new spring reefs out. Ever so sweet.

i want, i want, i want!

I have expressed my love for anthropologie before but now my obsession and desire with redecorating my apartment has grown my love for anthropologie has too.

They have a stunning range of chairs, sofas, and foot stools. Both the fabric and style of the pieces are exquisite. I want, I want, I want!

chic yet luxurious

So my last post stated I was going to spend my Friday night at home cleaning and reorganising my apartment. But it seems that my best friend (alcohol) and I have a bit of catching up to do over the weekend, so my decorating plans went on hold.




I did however ponder and found some more inspiration. Above is a beautiful, chic yet luxurious interior done in a canal house in the centre of Amsterdam. Designed by uxus who also designed this great McDonalds play ground that allows kids to play and learn about food. Source: Design* Sponge
