In July

I’m going LUSH.

No more scraggly plants and worn-out leaves.I want giant bunches of hardy ferns…

There will be shiny leaves, healthy plants in every pot…

I’m not sure my family would approve of such big plants indoors, but given half a chance (and no opposition) I think our old house with its tall ceilings would do very well with such new friends…

and I’m going to get more of my paints and canvases out…

and decorate the bathroom with something quirky and unexpected.

Those are my ambitious plans for July. What about you?

{Swoon} Glittering bathroom

I LOOOOOVEEEEE this bathroom wall with its glittering mosaic stripes. Isn’t it gorgeous?!

Via Red.

Would you

 

be worried about being electrocuted in this lovely bathroom? (In case the chandelier falls when you’re in the tub…)

I like the idea of it, though.

Soon it will be Christmas day

We’re not even in the spirit of things yet, here in Goa. What about you?

Love…Surface View

Aren’t these giant ready-to-use murals and canvasses simply amazing? They have some gorgeous art in their collection. See the ones from the National Gallery collection or the National Maritime museum collection.

I’d love one in our house. Santa, hmmm?

House Tour: Sean Ward & Stephen Fillmore

I love these photos from the Toronto home of Sean Ward and Stephen Fillmore, featured in Style at Home (found via My Notting Hill). This is sort of what I’d like my home to look like – light filled, with stuff in it, but not cluttered, cosy, yet not cramped.

 

The bathroom is a little more crowded than I would have liked, but I’m enjoying the wooden bureau, the bench and the lamp – that’s really unusual in this room. 

Love... Art in the bathroom

I like the idea of having art in the bathroom. No reason why this most used room should be drab, boring and humdrum. In these photos, you see framed art, oils, photos. Are these just for effect or are they practical too? What effect does steam or humidity have on the frames and indeed, their contents? Do paintings survive well in the damp?

One solution would be to use cheap frames and insert botanical prints or other inexpensive photos /pictures from magazines or calendars that you can change on a regular basis. A set of decorative plates would be another great idea - you wouldn't have to worry about damage from damp here.

Do you use art in your bathroom? Please share your ideas!
