Bedroom inspiration

Here are a few pictures of absolutely delightful bedrooms from the Loft I Love Facebook page that is just too good to keep to myself. For me,  a perfect way to start a Monday is with a bit of eye candy like these. "Like" their Facebook page and you'll also get inspiring updates like these to brighten up your day (wink). 

This first picture with the suspended bed and fabulous grey bedlinen is just "WOW!" and something I wouldn't mind for my own bedroom. Not to mention the fireplace and the awesome white hide on the floor!

The headboard in the second to last picture is super "WOW!", don't you think? Have a look....

Like usual (because that's what I like...) the theme is grey and white although I do like a bit of bohemian Moroccan brightness too, sometimes. These just create such a fantastic, serene atmosphere for a bedroom that is impossible to resist.

Happy week folks!

Crochet

I have been REAL busy crocheting lately and our blanket is close to the "finished" status - something I'm really looking forward to. I bought a lovely book (will share sometime soon) with 500 crochet pieces and have been trying out different stitches and patterns for our blanket. It will be a real patchwork/quilt/blanket/piece of art, hehehe....

So far I've made 70 blocks and have about another 30 to go, phew! What do you think?

Happy day!

Cape Craft & Design Institute

One of my favourites was the exhibit of Stefan Frylick of Space for Life

I love this décor style - retro, funky, yet timeless 

Edge Interiors was responsible for this exhibit, with exceptional results;

I loved it - modern and fabulous!

Happy day!

Inspiration

Thanks to Pinterest, I stumbled upon this fantastic site of Swedish born Parisian, Anna G. What an absolute pleasure to scroll down the page and feast my eyes on the photographs of these beautiful homes that she shares with us.

I could really go on FOREVER with these lovely images, but I'll let you discover more of such treasures by yourself by visiting her site. All above images are courtesy of  La Maison d'Anna G

Be inspired!

Happy weekend!

Weylandts

A recent visit to Knysna with visitors from The Netherlands took us on a trip to Thesen Island and in particular checking out the Weylandts shop on the island. If you're into contemporary furniture and design for the home, this is the place to go. Weylandts stock a wide variety of furniture and décor items that will leave your pocket a bit emptier but your home looking fabulous.

As the sole distributor in South Africa of designers such as Kenneth Cobonpue and Ethnicraft it is not surprising that Weylandts is such a favourite shopping destination for home decorators.

I took some pictures in the Thesen Island store, but if you want to see their whole range of products, check out their website here.

Do you like? I love, love, LOVE!

Happy day!

Crochet blanket

To continue with my "dream" to give our bedroom a make-over and keep us warm in winter at the same time, I started to crochet granny squares for a blanket for our bed. I chose some lovely shades of grey for this and yes, I know; grey in winter is not all that great, but that's my colour preference at the moment, so....

See what I mean? These colours are really lovely! I'm hoping to have 15 squares done each week until I have enough for a blanket big enough to cover our bed. Ha! Will keep you posted on this project, for sure!

Happy weekend all!

Happy day!

I like it a lot

I can't believe it's the 4th of the month already! We've been busy with the kitchen and then had a busy weekend with Cheetah playing indoor hockey and then we were visiting friends on Sunday for a big get-together. We were quite happy that yesterday turned out to be a bit cooler than the sweltering heat we've had this last week. (Phew!)

Here are some images that inspired me over the last few days. I'm beginning to like the idea of white, grey and natural wood more and more; especially now the kitchen is (almost) done and the lighter tones with the bamboo look so divine! (I'll share with you later in the week)

These rooms are absolutely gorgeous and I am considering painting a few pieces of our furniture all white. I hope you get some inspiration from these too!

Have a happy week!
