This pretty place is the home Australian home of South African illustrator Paula Mills and her family. This vintage inspired home is inline with the shabby chic style I love and when I found this series of photos of this beautiful space I had to share them with you. I adore Paula’s creative workspace – The wall filled with beautiful images, colours and designs is so very inspiring! She illustrates and blogs under for Sweet William the company she runs with her sister, Shelley. She sells her unique illustrations via the Sweet William Etsy shop. From the pictures it’s hard …  Read More »

I love this wonderful white space. Not usually a colour used in family homes, the Eklunds of The Netherlands have managed to use white throughout their home to great effect! The simple colour choice makes this home feel clean and calm. It definitely helps that they have such great organizing ideas which have been used throughout the home to store away all the brightly coloured clutter that tends to accompany children… There are some great ideas to be found in the pics below. Take a tour of a different kind of “White House” here: Paula: ‘People think I’m chicken for …  Read More »

Absolutely adore this sweet little neat and neutral interior space in Manhattan which I discovered via one of my favourite websites – The Selby. Have you discovered The Selby yet? It is a wonderful website dedicated to documenting ordinary people in their living spaces – most of which are quiet extraordinary! I love browsing through the site and seeing how others live… esp those that live so well. This space is a particular favourite of mine. Love the white and wood theme which is carried throughout the space. The home belongs to Lyndsay and Fitzhugh who are both designers (obviously) …  Read More »

Today I can’t help but share with you this bright and beautiful houseboat home. What an amazing, unique space. This is a houseboat located in London on the Thames it features an array of inspiring spaces filled with a treasure trove of collectables. I am loving the gorgeous colours and pretty patterns.

But it looks like a fab place to grow up! The owner writes a great blog where …  Read More »

Love these colourful kids spaces – the design is cheerful enough for children but also clean and simple. This home is situated in Sweden, but I’m sure you guessed that from the predominant use of white? It belongs to Lea Bawnager. She lives here with her husband and their son Elliot. Lea loves to visit flea markets and transforms her finds into useful, beautiful objects in her home. Here an old flower box serves as bookshelves in her son’s bedroom. Lovely! What do you think? Do you like this pared down Swedish style? I love how the colours of the …  Read More »

I have a bit of a thing for all things French and I’m always a sucker for bookshelves so I just love this colourful apartment in Nimes, France – the town where Denim orginated!! This home belongs to artist couple Myriam and Dominique who decided to escape the busyness of Paris and moved to a large apartment in the city of Nîmes, France. The apartment with high ceilings and large windows is situated in a building that was constructed in 1835. The large space makes it possible to move freely, to entertain friends and for their two children to play. …  Read More »
