Pinkspiration...only a touch of pink will do

Like Audrey Hepburn said "I believe in pink", but just a bit is enough.

Hope your day is fabulous and somewhere along the line it includes pink bubbles or pink milk (depending on your age and sensibility) for all of us.

Nursery update inspiration

Little Miss J is transitioning from the "tiny wee wee bed" as she calls it to a big girl bed, and I thought it was time to give her room a tiny wee wee update too.  Nothing dramatic, just some little additions more suited to her age.  

I don't want to change the pale blue rocking wing back chair, and am thinking of adding a touch of pink and gold to the existing white furniture, walls and curtains.  I have ordered some pink and gold dot decals, just like the ones below from Urbanwalls, and I have bought some cute bedding from Pottery Barn to turn into some pillowcases.

Triangle wall decals by Urbanwalls + Simply Grove, love the pink lettering too.  
Crochet cushion and mat via la casa de coto, great shades of pinks, not to sweet.
Gorgeous wooden knobs available from Chocolate Creative.

Love all these products designed by Empire Lane, gold pineapple decals - how fabulous, and I love the cushions too.

Details of a gorgeous bedroom by 91 Magazine featured on sokeen.  Love these ice cream colours all together, especially the pom pom fringed pillow.

The gold and pink decals available at Urbanwalls, featured in this gorgeous nursery which you can find on Babyology.

Watch this space - mini makeover coming soon.

sweet and simple vintage bedroom

Back home at last!!!  After a thrilling, exhilarating, exhausting, inspiring, invigorating, incredible conference at Alt Summit 2013.  More on that later, it was a life changer.  
I also have some very exciting news from the past few weeks, two design successes I am really thrilled with, I'll share soon I promise.  But for now a quick post of an image that has been in my mind the past few months.  

Simple, vintage botanical, pinks, white walls, natural light - many of the things I love. (via Hus & Hem)

I have to hang my fish prints somewhere, similar to the botanicals I love, but fish versions we have had for years.
Its on the 2013 style refresh list.

But for now its back to settling back into home, you guessed it - laundry laundry laundry and covering school books.
No complaints - there is no place like home.
