Purple Perspectives

Maybe I was just a bit traumatized at the prospect of having a prince "purple-rain"-esque house but I was pleasantly surprised at how classic the addition of purple to these rooms was. Perhaps it has something to do with that particular hue but, these rooms look at touch exotic.

In the mail today...


Take a peek at what I found in the mail this morning!

My purchases from Elle Custom Jewelry on Etsy are just amazing! I can't get over how unique all these pieces are and how timelessly they go with everything. What a cheerful way to start a very rainy day...

Singita Game Reserves - South Africa


Singita's stylishly earthy lodges in South Africa are breathtaking. I could only imagine what it would be like to wake up in a place like this, look outside and see all that nature has to offer.

Where Design and Dork Meet...



I'm absolutely thrilled at this Tetris Furniture Design. It's practical, edgy and so much fun. In a world full of tiny living spaces, condos and townhouses, I imagine it would be quite the space saver unless you're Tetris challenged...

*cue Tetris music on exeunt*

How do you feel about these? I'm thinking that besides the loud colours, they're super fab!

Plaid Elegance

I just love the elegance of Minnie Mortimer's line of clothing inspired by school clothing! It's a hard look to pull off but it's just so pretty for spring!


This is just simple, fresh and elegant. Love the very flattering A-line cut:


What do you think???

A Wall Update

With the indispensable help of Mr. Fanfan, my walls now look like:Forgive the poor quality of the pictures. I'm hoping to take a few more this weekend to show you the finished product. I figured that this design would go nicely since our kitchen has very "diner" esque tiles down the floor but I had no clue how to execute it! Fanfan was a great help. He apparently dreamed up how we could tape the boxes so that the edges would touch...Now that's skill. This is after the taping and the cutting. Kind of blurry but you get the gist of the situation.


After the painting in and some of the tape cut away. You can see the true colour of the paint here.
