Stylish wallpaper

In collaboration with Pip Studio, a famous Dutch studio, Eijffinger presents a unique wallpaper collection.

"The wallpaper in this collection shows a complete set of many strong designs in fashionable colours, like firemen red and ochre yellow as well as beautiful natural powder colours like soft mint and sweet grey."

Available in Australia.





Pip have also collaborated with Brian Yates "to create this delightful and cheerful collection of trend-setting wallpapers. An eye for detail with layered prints in the most amazingly 'happy' colour combination's makes Pip a rather unique concept."

Classical garden birds sitting on delicate branches of blossom sparkle in gold and silver. Trailing florals interspersed with butterflies and a cute cross-stitch design can be used with more calming stripes and polka dots.

Available in the UK from Tangletree Interiors and Wallpaper Direct.

Pip Studio

Simone of The Bottom of the Ironing Basket recently asked me where the floral wallpaper in Elin's room from my Craft & Creativity post is from. Well, it is from the adorable Pip Studio. I love their motto: "Happy Products for Happy People".

Pip Studio is a Dutch design company based in Amsterdam selling bed & bath collections, stationery, cushions, tablecloths and of course, an extensive collection of wallpaper.

Pip's handwriting is characterized by a warm, and almost intimate, touch and feel. It is often a mix and match concept of layered designs with a keen eye for small details and special finishes, combined with a subtle colour palette.

Rooster party

Welcome! Here is my rooster!

I would like to thank Barb @ Bella Vista for inviting me to join this party. I immediately said yes but then realized I didn't have a rooster! I hunted around for roosters and came up blank, so I made one. The pattern has been adapted from the book Crafting Springtime Gifts, using one of my favorite prints from Cath Kidston.

On my hunt for roosters I found these lovely photos, that I wanted to share with you!

Laura's Design Inspiration
This little mood board inspired the high summer story of delicate silks, etched dragonflies, and gilded details.

Saltwater is a British clothing design label based in London and Cornwall.
They make women's clothing with a fresh, soft, vintage feel. Think pretty vintage printed skirts, hand embroidered dresses, faded print tunics and fine knits. I am loving their blue and white China bird skirt in the last pic, which has over 50% off in the sale!








Have a great day!

Craft & Creativity

I wanted to share with you Craft & Creativity, a Swedish lady named Helena who posts the prettiest pics of her house on Flickr. I have been admiring her pics for over five months now and recently featured her necklace hanger in my Flickr Faves post, 'Vintage blue'.

At the weekend she posted some new pics of her little daughter, Annie's, room. I immediately fell in love with the tea/coffee set with the cutest wooden cakes. Doesn't she have just the nicest taste!




How fab is Annie's room with the hand crochet kitchen towels, and pretty storage solutions?




I adore the bright patterned cushions and floral wallpaper in Elin's room, and especially the hand made 'E' cushion.




And I have to have the miniature plates and coffee/tea set from Ikea.
