pots for plants

I won't be calling myself a gardener anytime soon. 

But these vessels for plants and clever little ideas might just make me look like one though...

Make use of an old set of drawers...

Pots on a plank! What a gorgeous way to break up different flowers and bring the garden off the ground.

Here's a nice way to re-use an old toolbox. Could pick one up at an old wares store.

Tea cans for inside planting.

Don't lose track of herbs with these nifty rustic spoons.

chair love

I'm feeling inspired by seating this Tuesday.


For years I've liked the idea of a table that has chair unity in either matching chairs painted different colours, or different chairs painted all the same colour.
These multi-coloured chairs are ideal.

I'm loving this outdoor scene. The combination of rustic, cobbled together random chairs makes this super cosy for me - a real 'lived in' feel.

What's not to love about this high-chair given a slap of paint and a bit of love!

I'm quite the fan of outdoor furniture given a new life placed indoors.

Swoon. This is amaze. A romantic rocker for two!

And while we're on rockers - this rocker-cradle called a Rockid is just, well, fabulous. Want want want!

Oh and look here, some gorgeous mint dining chairs! Fresh and sweet.

Inspiration for baby room

I've been letting myself get all carried away with thinking about how to decorate the baby room/ nursery. I'm loving it because it's one room and I get to start the whole thing from scratch.
I'm not much into bright colours, I want the space to be pastels, creams and whites. My plan is to create a sleep space that's calm, soft and is relaxing for me as well.
We've been lucky enough to have been given a cot and change table, which I intend to paint white. I've got my old wooden toy box, which has had a few coats of paint in it's past and has been sanded back in a sort of white wash. I'm going to repaint my old bedside table and then it's just to find the perfect chair and decorative bits and bobs for the room. How exciting.


Here's some inspiration that i've found on Pinterest and some other blogs recently.


This is by far my favourite. I love the colours, the simplicity. There's probably too much 'teddy bear' going on though.

I love how fresh, simple and light this room is. And with a little touch of retro curtain.

Again, fresh and simple. I like the inclusion of the plant and I love the lamp. Soft lighting is a must.

I do love this, but it would be a bit too much for my ideal room. I really love the divine dresser (better for a girl) and I'm a fan of the frame collage. I also like the chevron rug, but in a softer colour.
