mint-spiration

Still loving all things mint, maybe its because the garden is looking so dull this midwinter and I am dreaming of fresh green spring leaves already

So many minty things to share.  I couldn't even get them all in this post.  Enjoy!

More mint-spiration...

Still feeling all thing mint this week.  It reminded me of a kitchen we had three houses ago.  It was truly horrid, a black and white chequerboard tile splashback and dubious yellowing cupboards.  We painted the cupboards mint, it was cute and retro, kept us going until we could tackle the kitchen properly a few years later.

Grey and white kitchen with mint chairs (Pinterest). Love the tree draped with mint and coral streamers, a beautiful backdrop to an outdoor wedding via Hey Look.

Mint, grey and white in the kitchen again, love the scarf on the chair (Design My Heart Out) and the ultimate in mint retro, the always cool Vespa.

The most gorgeous kitchen, those are old cabinets refreshed with paint, a steel top and glass splashback.  Love the shelves with vintage tins (An Ordinary Woman).  Retro styled tables via Ontwerpduo.

Vintage scale (via Steffi's kleine Welt), not quite mint I know but it made these cups and flowers I found on Tumblr look so pretty.

Garden rose and succulent bouquet via Once Wed.   Retro geranium bauble necklace from Orange & Pear.

I love the mint doors that lead into the little courtyard and the teeny galley kitchen (The Glam Lamb).  And finally a lovely mint front door detail via Tumblr.  

Think I need to freshen up with a Mint Julep...

Fresh and minty for the home

Its been a busy week, perhaps that's why I am drawn to these soothing minty greens.  Its been a big planning week with not much to show for it, sometimes that's how it goes.  Hopefully all the work will pay off in the next few weeks and I will be able to share it with you here.
I am looking forward to the weekend, catching up on some sleep, and doing some gardening which is always rejuvenating. 

Great vintage playroom storage via Blood & Champagne.  Playroom storage is much on my mind since I don't have enough of it.  The cutest foxey print, sorry its from Pinterest with no details, would love to know more about it if anybody has any info.

Dining room table vignette via Milo & Mitzy (fave new blog by the way).  I love the way the vases and candle are standing in the over sized tray.  Vintage locker cabinets in the bedroom via The Design Files.

Another fresh playroom via Pinterest, frustratingly no details again.  Love the idea of vintage styled suitcases and a hot pink electric guitar.  Miss E has an electric guitar but its definitely not pink.

Fresh turquoise chairs in this dining room (via The Style Files) need the energy of the crimson flower.  Just like the red and pink sets of the turquoise in these gorgeous bowls via Decor8.

Deep breath in....release...much better.
Enjoy your weekend.
