I dream of romance edged in beauty

Today I decided to do a post of dreamy interiors that I've been collecting and wanted to share. In some way, each room appeals to me - I like the simplicity, and the touches of romantic vintage, and the restful but pretty colours. Each space is a place I could dream in and be at be peace, and each room is a reflection of the owners personality - to me, these are some of the important elements of the dream house I have in my mind. What would your dream house be like, and where would it be?

Have a happy weekend dear friends.

It's Saturday and I'm OK

I completely LOVE Saturdays, Friday you have the whole weekend stretched ahead of you, Saturday you are in the weekend, enjoying the time off from the week. Saturdays are for spending time with the boyfriend, going shopping, seeing friends and family, going to cafes or restaurants or to the movies, taking it easy or being busy with self chosen activities depending on what your heart desires....it's a time of of freedom and a time of personal choice. You can party like there's no tomorrow, or you can take it easy, take things as they come.

I am only human

I have a complete photographer crush on the work of Elif Karacoc. These photographs are sheer heaven, dreamy and ethereal. Oh I am in love! (via We Heart It)

Sometimes I feel fragile, fragmented

as if there is no moon in my sky

I don't know what it is that I so fiercely desire

only that I am trying to breathe under water, I long for clarity, but everything seems opaque and I cannot see what lies in front of me

I feel asleep, my world is an endless dream, there is no memory and no forgetting

I crave the freedom of open spaces

I want to dance under the wide open sky, and listen to the call of the birds in the dying afternoon light.

I love this vintage photo, it's one of my favourites, her beauty is so elegant and timeless.








How cute is this illustration by Katrine K? I love how the artist has included the wallpaper design in the background.


And these works by Japanese artist Ayco are so beautiful, there is a wonderful fragility about them.

And finally, this photo was me messing around earlier today.

Searching for crazy wisdom

I'm crazy about this style of decorating at the moment, I really like the white and neutral tones, so simple and clean. I used to love bright colours, I never imagined I'd enjoy such a pared down neutral palette but I really, really am loving it. (via Elle Decoration SA)



Loving all of these - the ethereal beauty of Lovenia's SS09 Spring collection (via Siagrafica), candleholders by Jean Pelle Designs (via Visual Notes), and the cutest little mugs by Skinny Laminx.

This is the sweetest photo, I adore the styling and the light.





I want these beautiful sunny Autumn days we are having right now to last forever. Today I wish could stay at home and sit in the garden instead of having to go to work later. I love this picture, I need a sofa just like this and flags strung out in the trees. I'll sit here and read, and drink homemade lemonade.

These remind me of something out of the Arabian nights, the colours are so intense and heavenly.

I want this couch, I love the style and the colour. (by stylist Selina Lake via Made by Girl)
