I came across some gorgeous photos on flickr this week. Just amazing. The work of Leslie at A Creative Mint. Check out more of her work on flickr and her blog.
Ive been busy creating mood boards myself over on the 'i do' it yourself blog. Keep an eye on the site as more wedding inspiration is added.
These little guys are fabulous. Id like to have some to choose from on my desk so I can just hold up the appropriate emotion when people bother me. I'm feeling frustrated just hold up the frustrated ceramic.
They are the work of Belgium artist Mitsy. I think I'd choose Relieved - now that my deadlines are over. Frustrated - because that happens often. And Mean - if you cant say anything nice don't say anything - just hold up your ceramic.
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.
