polka spots

it all started with this sofa from Furbish last year....

then the chairs....

then it was this fabric

on these chairs...

but now walls? 

polka spots are everywhere......

and I like 'em :)

(you can buy Thibault Tanzania wallpaper here!)
Office no. 1 Office No 2

watercolour + walls = perfection

This one, jaw-dropping element of the space captures where I am right now perfectly. I wish I could transport this to my bedroom and wake up to it each morning.   Dreams.... have a lovely weekend, all... x am

Fantastical Walls: Mushaboom Design

It's supposed to be a grey post, 

but today is the first sunny day in a string of rainy ones,

and so I feel like a little happy - with me?!

I've found the most fantastical wallcoverings....

Two incredible nature inspired collections from Mushaboom Designs.

The first, a tribute to to Taylor Head, a park in Nova Scotia.

The second, "Victoria", was inspired by public gardens in Halifax.

The patterns in both collections are available in custom colors and effects,

but the Victoria patterns are offered in pre-selected color options that are already rich and varied,

with three groups of colorways available - shine, gloss, and patina.

 this one is my fave, my own dining room walls NEED this, truly :)

The artist behind Mushaboom, Barry Roode, shares his creative process,

from inspiration to final design.

"Wave"

the finished product, in the "sunshine" colorway....

Pretty spectacular, non?

I have taken today off to get caught up around here,

it's been madness!

Is it just me or did this week fly by?

will be taking pics of Miss N's room this weekend and sharing next week -

hope you'll pop by :)

Happy weekend - x

dhurrie dreams and a thank you

the patterns and colors of dhurries are always a delight

and you all know how much I love a patterned carpet....

we've seen them used as upholstery with great effect - 

that wee loveseat is on my wishlist....

and this one even works as a tablecloth...

but this idea?  THIS idea is genius....

just makes me want to break out the paintbrush!

If any of your know more about this room, please share details!

I found it on pinterest... isn't that where we find everything these days?!

I'd also like to say thank you to Megan (A Lived in Home) today,

for sending the One lovely Blog award my way -

you're a sweetheart, Megan!

I always appreciate your thoughtful comments around here - x

If you haven't explored Megan's blog yet, pop over,

she's got a great style and an adorable little one, Ava, 

who makes star appearances frequently :)

The color posts have been a bit thin lately, we're on summer hours round here, lol.

But next week I'm going to tackle another grey + color post, maybe green,

since so many of your expressed interest in it, which was a surprise to me!

And, 

the oldest darling and I have been working on a few bits in her room, 

I'll post some pics shortly -

Block Print Love

 source

Block prints make me my heart skip a beat.

Particularly the ones from  Les Indiennes...

ah, paisley, my love...

the texture of natural linen, the quiet beauty.

Enchanting.

Found! What's Better Than Wallpaper? This..

Ages ago I saw this pic

I don't know where it's from, nor who is responsible for this stunner - do you?

It went straight into my inspiration files.

 I wondered if the rose was painted on the wall,

or if someone had commissioned a large custom mural.

Then last week, looking for something completely different,

I found it.

Called Yellow Peony (ah, right, no thorns :)

Available as a ready-to-roll mural from Surface View, in the UK.

It's a three panel piece, adhered to the wall like wallpaper.

How fantastic! and there's so many more..

The have loads of other products, including self-adhesive, which can be removed and re-hung in different locations in your home easily.

There's also smaller murals available..

I would LOVE to have a pair of these in my dining room...

   

or maybe these..

  

Graphic without being harsh

    

There's so many options here!

They also stock prints, canvasses, blinds..

Pop over and check out their inventory, 

betcha you'll find something that captures your imagination :)

til next time..
