Hot trend: decorating with duct tape
Tuesday 8 November 2011
All those years of carefully mounting our beloved prints in pretty frames and spending hours thinking about how to hang masks / scuptures / necklaces and now, the hot trend from Norway? Putting things up with sticky tape. And I love it! What do you reckon?

Swedish home teeming with flea market finds
Morning! I'm a bit bleary eyed as I've just got back from stunning and vibrant Cape Town, South Africa. It was such a creative city, brimming with inspiration. The interior style vibe is similar to Scandinavia with natural materials, white walls and flashes of bright colours. This Swedish home from Sköna Hem seemed a very apt nod to my trip. I love all the flea market finds, the industrial lighting and tourquoise and white bedroom.
Ullis - the wonderful guest blogger from Friday has industrial lights like these which she found at a flea market in Malmö, Sweden. Try Etsy. Painting wooden floors to create a harlequin effect has become the kitchen floor du jour in Sweden and Norway. |
Such a great idea to take all the pages from an old 'biology' book and create a wall piece, I think it looks really lovely. |
You can find large letters like these at the Old Cinema in London. Again, try Etsy for industrial lighting. |
Ta da for now!
It's the simple things in life with this beautiful home

These are a few of my favourite things...
Thursday 3 November 2011
Hi, so I'm Ullis... I live in a house amongst stacks of interior mags, with a head full of interior ideas, unfinished projects and a wish for my very own handyman to come and execute them all. I wouldn't mind if the handyman had a generous wallet too...
I have a particular obsession with lighting in all shapes, sizes or forms. Any lighting signed Tom Dixon is a particular favourite and more than welcome into my home! I love the play with contrasts - industrial vs. organic, hard vs. soft, cold vs. warm. Like his Bulb Chandelier (below). It almost looks like a diamond ring.
Sleep happy bedroom
Morning! I'm off somewhere very exciting for a great friend's wedding this afternoon - as mentioned on Monday, I love weddings - so I can't wait! Time away from home and my two little angels also means uninterrupted SLEEP! I love this bedroom. I could sleep here, couldn't you?!
These pics are from Weekday Carnival blog via the wonderful Nib blog. If you have time today click through, there's so much to see!
And exciting news! Tomorrow great friend, Ullis, who has the most fantastic home will write a guest blog about her favourite things so don't forget to pop by for some weekend inspiration!
Happy Thursday to you!
