Cocooning Goal

here

Well, Hello there!

Lovely, cold, bitter day here in Tassie. Sun shining, but cold.

I like this sort of weather, makes you want to cocoon, pull out the throws, add more cushions (not like we don't have tonnes already!) and lots of candles etc.

One thing I have yet to do is bring our living room rug back out. I have been thinking maybe I will leave it, but after seeing this image, I am going to get it back out.

You get used to having bare floors over Summer and forget how warming it is to a space to have that rug, an anchor, in a room.

As you know, I am adding some new blinds soon to our Kitchen....then I stumble across this!

I am more, and more convinced that I need shelves and a island like this.

Our ceiling and floors are basically the same- meant to be!

Our center island has seen better days, lets be honest and my dear Dad has done his best to fix it up for us and make it work, but at the end of the day as he says "It has been poorly built and it needs re doing". Well Daddy, wanna build me one like this????

So, that's the goal for the week

-to warm and cozy up our kitchen and living room.

What are you doing for the change in seasons??

Random White Thoughts......

here

So, it has been a busy, full filling day for me today.

Helping the boys at School with art in their little classes, wrapping orders, teaching class and working on my 2011 Christmas range.

I have been searching through old magazines and books and particularly, Pinterest.com, finding even the smallest image to trigger masses of ideas.

Although my mind wanders every now and then to our kitchen here at home.

I am really looking forward to getting some of the small changes around here done.

Loving these two images, especially the bead board!

I did however get my very little recycling station done with a little shift around which seems to work well.

As soon as I have some more elements done I will give you a little look at my little changes.

So, there you have it- random white thoughts for a Monday.

Oh and Happy Birthday to the gorgeous Tina from Rubies Place!!!

All of these images made me smile today.

I hope they make you smile too and give you some inspiration =0)

Pinning Hopes...

here

Life has sort of returned to normal here...sort of.

I have been so busy and have really not been able to do any of my own decorating

or renovating which has left me wanting to do a overhaul of our living room.

We need lots of new cushions, new sofa covers,

some new blinds and heavier drapes for our impending Winter.

I have been pinning lots of ideas to get me started once life is fully back to normal.

What do you think of these lovelies for inspiration?

...and thank you all for your lovely words on my new-ish range =0)

Lights are on...

The obsession continues with little houses that light up.

These two are so cute in white porcelain and I am thinking they would be easy to make

...in paper or cardstock.

what do you think?

Either way I love them =0)
