Inspired by absolutely beautiful things blog (Friday flowers) and to celebrate the sale of the first item from my etsy store (Yippee!) I splashed out and purchased these gorgeous pink roses for the kitchen and some yet to bloom jasmine for the bathroom (not pictured). Enjoy!
I thought I would share Fay Ripley's lovely kitchen with you, Fay starred in the successful TV series Cold Feet during the late 90's and early noughties, the series was huge in the UK and also popular in Australia. Fay often plays charismatic, kooky characters - evidently this creative flair has flowed onto the design and decoration of her home....
I love the pink arm chair and ottoman, the orange cushion works well, I've also been trying to zoom in on the shelves, I'm liking the blue glass bowl and the matching three jugs, great eclectic mix of old and new. Here's what Fay had to say ...."I can potter around in here for hours - re-arranging flowers, admiring my own cakes and plumping cushions. I feel unhinged when my home isn't how I think it should be. I've always been a home bird; in my 20s I wanted to be middle-aged and cook grown-up food to impress my friends. We had risotto competitions. It was tragic."
Hummm, a girl after my own heart... cheesy
I know!
I think it's because the weather has been a bit lack luster in the last few days but I'm craving bright colours to cheer up the apartment. Here are a few of my pick's from browsing around the net....
Pink scarf from seed Femme, Blue ballerina flats from Sambag, laundry bag from Mozi, side plate also from Mozi, colour ful bowls from Cath Kidson.
When I first arrived in Australia from the UK with my future husband our purse strings were rather tight - we inherited many, MANY items from family and friends by means of charity that were useful and also not so useful (code for not wanted)! A few of those pieces we still have including a chair similar to the one below I originally covered the out dated seat cushions with a chocolate brown fabric (rather in Vogue 5+ years ago)...
...now these covers are looking a tad sorry for themselves and I'm on the look out for a new fabric, while looking I came across No Chintz a divine online fabric store... I'm yet to find the right fabric - but I will keep you posted. In the meantime I have added another Six of the Best - Cushions (picked from Etsy.com)...
