Baby nursery in grey, blush and peach

Gorgeous nursery designed by Emma from Beau Monde Mama for her little baby girl! I love the fact that it is not all sparkly, glittery and overly pink - in fact there is a very neutral tone to the room especially with the lovely custom DIY grey wall she decorated. I also like the accents of peach and blush that provide a subtle indication to the gender of the baby. If you want to know how she achieved the look of the room, here is some information about the room's features:

Wall paint/ colour: (Dulux colours of New Zealand)
Grey/ patterned feature wall: Lake Wakatipu
Walls: Manorburn Quarter
Ceiling: Aniwaniwa Quarter

Retro arm chair: Freedom Furniture (New Zealand)
Peach pillow on arm chair: Society6
Lamp stand/ shade: Spotlight (New Zealand)
Cot bed: Farmers (New Zealand)
Chevron cushion in cot: Witchery (Australia)
Diamond cushion in cot: Lorna Love
Shelves: Bunnings Warehouse (New Zealand)

Pop-up shop in an 18th century building

Awesome mirrored pop-up store in Amsterdam based in a stunningly elegant 18th century building to provide a surreal visual effect. The Felix Meritis building has a gorgeous historical interior and the aim of the interior designers (i29) was to host the pop-up store without being intrusive or obstructive to the existing decor. I think they did a pretty good job in maintaining the original design and preserving that sense of 'old' while exhibiting new and modern products. It is minimal, modest and enhances the existing spaces by adding mirrors that give a play on space and perspective.

Wonderful re-loved furniture by Miss Lolo

Just wanted to show you guys some yummy, colourful and vibrant re-loved pieces of furniture all the way from New Zealand by a brand called Miss Lolo. Each piece of furniture has a cute retro feel and was restored by fashion stylist Tamzyn Adding who created the brand in 2013. She carefully considered each item in terms of fabrics, colours and patterns and gave them a whole new life to produce a wonderfully bright collection of homeware.

You can check out some of her restoration work below and more on misslolo.co.nz.

Magasin Living SS14

Magasin Living and photographer, Line T. Klein, have styled and photographed some lovely and soft powder coloured interiors for the Spring season. The lightness and delicacy of the colours work in perfect conjunction with one another - a great way to display one of this season's favourite trends. I feel an insatiable urge to colour my home with subtle pink and green tones in different rooms and see how it works out!

If you want to get into the swing for Spring, why not try some of these palettes/ paints:

Dulux - Neutrals
Farrow & Ball - Neutrals

Gallery Walls

I’ve recently become obsessed with gallery walls in homes that have been lovingly organised. They give so much character to the room and act as a reflection of the homeowner(s) likes, passions and style, so it’s a great way to add a personal touch to your otherwise bland wall. It can be tricky to find the right balance with layout, spacing and colours in order to avoid your wall looking completely clustered, but if it’s done well it can be very charming. It doesn’t have to be made purely of photos, nor do the gallery items need to be framed - a variety of textures and sizes will only enhance the attractiveness. Hopefully these examples will serve as some inspiration if you decide to add a gallery wall to your home.
