More bed-bingeing

coastal living

Oh my giddy aunt! It's a loft bed with storage dream! 

I LOVE these! I love so many things about this room...

*More nanna rugs! Possibly even more gorgeous than the vintage find in Style to steal... 

*The locket mirrors above each bed.

*The storage the storage the storage...

*The beech flooring. It gives such a sense of light and space.

*Pale yellow walls (not normally but...) note how the pale timber sits so beautifully against this hue. 

Dulux do a really good one similar called Camomile Cream.

Looks good in an adult space as well. And there's no question it would work well in a nursery...

Dreamy room does have one minor drawback though. 

It leads me back down the path of the $30,000 attic conversion. 

If this was our forever house I'd consider it. But it's not. I have dreams about a californian bungalow, on a corner block near the water. (sigh) But we can go into that another time...

Here's one more stunning bunk solution for good  measure...

Which one's your favourite?

Mixing it up

House and Home

If you're familiar with our Noosh range of Frankie Modular Sofas, you'd know that I just love to mix prints.  Bold on bold - not a problem. Bolder on bolder - fabulous! So then you'd understand my attraction to this little collection of patterns. Rich earthy tones, contemporary designs, neautral wall colour and furniture, and even wall art to match. The attention to detail on this combination is something to be admired. I even love the treatment on the floorboards. The rawness of the finish works so well with the natural mix.
If you want to try something like this yourself don't be scared! It's easy! Choose your first pattern. Select one colour from it and make sure this colour repeats in the second print. Keep on going in the same way until you have a mix you're happy with. Try to keep your hard surfaces neautral (ie whites/greys/creams) and splash the colour in with fabrics, curtains, rugs, cushions and linens. Remember: style and design is subjective. If you like it - that's all that matters.
I do want to steal this room though....
