There is one thing I don't have in my house - a clock. Hanging a clock on your wall is like hanging a piece of art, so you have to like it. Well that was never more true than with this clock by Dutch By Design. Its only £45 and comes with all the frames, bit of a bargin! I've never found one I like until I saw this on the decor8 blog. Its also a great idea if you wanted to make one yourself.
Wow! I just love the turquoise and white in this kitchen, with a hint of yellow and green. Gorgeous.
Ta Da!! Introducing our all new blog... 'i do' it yourself. A whole blog devoted to do it yourself wedding ideas. I found it really surprising as I started to plan my wedding next year that there were not more resources out there to do it yourself. So I decided to build a blog that brought it all together in the one place. Keep an eye on it as it grows each week with projects and inspiration from around the world.
If you have a project of pics you'd like to share, get in contact, we'd love to hear from you. email
For those of you who don't like patterned wallpaper, look away now, because you're REALLY not going to like this! Ever wondered what to do with all those left over bits of paper? Well you could go a little nuts and try a wallpaper patchwork. You could always start off by blue-tacking them to the wall, just in case not everyone in the house appreciates it as much as you. But I think this idea would work really well in a kids room, I've always like the idea of using vertical stripes of different wallpaper.

Friday night we went down to the harbour to check out Fire Water. Part of the Vivid festival of music lights and ideas. The Sydney Opera House was beautifully lit with abstract patterns along with the MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) and few other light installations. If you can get to Sydney to check it out you'd better hurry, it's only on until Sunday.
Well it's been a horribly traumatic week with no internet access. Stupid Optus. So lets look at something cheerful and fun finally.
