Pretty Rain Clouds for Your Wall

Sometimes the simplest idea can be the most striking like this little wall decor rain cloud sold on Etsy.

More lovely rain clouds to hang on your wall from French Interior and Product Designer Leptitpapillon based in Canada. Doesn't she make it all look so deceptively simple and make you want to take up some craft?


I love her particularly striking black cloud as well.



The paper cutting mobile is so pretty too.

How to Decorate A Room With Pink Walls

I absolutely adore the shade of blue those two armchairs come in. I also like how blue and yellow work so well in a pink room. It sort of prevents the room from becoming sickly sweet which can be a problem with too much pink. Usually I see it offset with black or chocolate, but I like what they've done here.

I like the use of red and is that khaki?

I'm no expert but I think the browns and creams really work with this gorgeous shade of pink.

Catherine Hammerton: Vintage Asthetic

I absolutely love tiny floral prints and I am swooning over these interiors by UK designer Catherine Hammerton as seen on Design Sponge.  These are of her own home.







Her kitchen has got to be the prettiest I have ever laid my eyes on! I love the lightness of the rooms and the splashes of that gorgeous red.

Beautiful Illustrations by Michelle Maule

These lovely creations are being sold on her Etsy shop. The first two are original works. How I wish I could draw and paint like that. What a gift!







The super talented, pretty artist blogs on How to Draw a Cup of Coffee.  Don't you just love her glasses?:

Inspiration from Sex and the City and More

I love gazing at beautiful photos. Decor photos that impress me the most are the affordable, simple clean scandinavian influenced rooms with a burst of color that gives it warmth. Also I like rooms that look cosy and lived in. A high end model show room can be visually beautiful, but feel uncomfortable and hard in reality. I get a lot of inspiration from Apartment Therapy which features cosy and chic homes.  Wish my home could be that pretty, airy and neat as well (I am also trying to get inspiration to do a major spring cleaning).


I love the splash of fushia and green in this room.


Pretty wall vases. What a nice idea.

There's that gorgeous pale pink vintage rotary telephone again. I really like the two stacked vintage suitcases as a bedside table. That would be great for storage too.


I just had to add the picture of Carrie and Big's New York apartment from Sex and the City 2, just so I could quote the fabulous line "I've been cheating on fashion with furniture". I love the shade of blue of those armchairs too.

Design Inspiration

I was browsing a lovely blog called Decorology.  I fell in love with the deep purplish navy, almost black armchair with the ornate French vintage legs.  The vermillion lamp acts as a great accent.

I think this cup might be available at Style Nordic at Ann Siang Road. I know it's bad to covet, but I covet it deeply, especially the one in midnight blue.

And more from Cloudberry. Imagine a treetrunk vase.



Or a Living Tiny Train Wall Sticker


And what a gorgeous pale pink rotary phone. I wish we could have kept our old phones but the telephone company then which was Telecoms Singapore took our beautiful old ones away and replaced then with the ugly push button ones. These days with Singtel you have to buy your own phone. I can see why Vintage is back in vogue.

Pretty Breakfast Nook and Wish Wall

I love the breakfast nook created in this small space.  Being slightly OCD, I immediately thought of chalk dust in the food, but another free spirit part of me loves the giant chalkboard the couple endearingly call their wish wall.  When I first looked at this space, the vermillion lamp caught my eye.  I think I am particularly attracted by tiny accents of colour in a white space.  The pictures are all from Ikea Live, a site I love browsing.




The couple behind the fresh ideas are Prime and Luis from Berlin. Prime tells the story behind their space:

I like having the time to let things grow When I moved here with my girlfriend Luise I only had a rail of clothes and a chair. We let the space dictate what we needed rather than rushing to furnish it. The home I had before this was white and minimal – I wanted it to be perfect. I don’t feel that pressure anymore.

I love how the city can see into our home I was a baby when I moved to Berlin from Laos. I have come to understand the city by learning its history and I love that everything here is a big melting pot of ideas. By having no curtains I invite those possibilities inside.

Your environment can help you improve your life I like to be able to see the things that inspire me. My books are placed so you can see the covers, my kitchen has open shelves, I have lights and lamps everywhere and in the bedroom I have a wish wall filled with images of things Luise and I hope for.
