Eye Candy..

So Im going to keep the words to a minimum because this post is so long already! But I just wanted some share some of my eye candy that I have wanted to post for a while now. As you can see I love my bedrooms and living areas. They are my weakness...

Love orange pillows, the green wallpaper, the print on the stools at the end of the bed, the lamps and the mirror behind the bedhead. So I suppose thats everything!

Marcia Cross's glammed set trailer

I know a few people have already blogged about Marcia Cross from Desperate Housewives trailer already but I absolutely adored it and wanted to share. It has been decorated beautifully by Brian Sanders, the colours look so soft and inviting. It has a touch of glamour which I love! Yet the brown adds a little masculine element to the room. Yum Yum Yum.

The mirrored dressing table its so glamorous and I have loved the style of the stacked glass ball table lamp for a long time. I have a pair in my bedroom and I think they add a touch of glam.

The blue desk chair + white desk + lamp+ photo board= perfection

Seriously who wouldn't want to just hang out in here all day.

and maybe all night too.....

Designer of the day: Kimberly Ayres

Kimberly Ayers lovely dreamy interiors recently caught my eye.  I love the colour pallets she uses in her spaces. I think the info about her on her website sums up her work nicely, so I thought I would quote directly from her website.

I love the bedside lamps and they are the perfect shade of blue. Oh and I adore the bedside tables too!

What a dreamy wall colour! It is paired nicely the black lamp shade and the pink flowers. I must say I love pink flowers in any interior.

Loving the yellow and bright colours at the moment.

Blog Love

The other day I was flipping through a design magazine hoping for some inspiration and it left me feeling rather disappointed. It got me thinking........Have they always been this bad? or are they just getting worse?  1.  They are full of adverts 2. The content isnt that great and 3. they leave me with little design inspiration. Then I realized that maybe my lack of inspiration was due to that fact that I have un limited access to lovely fabulous adorable blogs! Why bother paying for a magazine when all I need is right here at my fingertips. So thank you to all you bloggers out there who fulfill my cravings for great design.

Designer of the day: Carrier and Company

These are some wonderful images of Wilton house in Carrier and company's portfolio. I love the red cushions paired with simple neutrals, it makes the space relaxing yet vibrant. There are also lots more great images in their portfolio.

I love the contrast of the red bookshelf against the dark wall.

What a nice little spot to sit and read a book.
