CORAL

Hi there. I apologize for being MIA - I must admit my computer is now officially broken  :( and I am currently typing from a wireless keyboard to my television. Not the most ideal place, as my family needs to use the TV too hehe :)

Anyways on a much lighter and prettier note - I am in love with the color Coral - I know it's become very popular all over - especially in the fashion world. So here are some Coral inspired rooms for you to enjoy.

Coral bedrooms. Accents of the color Mint work beautifully. 

Coral painted dining chairs - great DIY project. 

Fun Coral door. Another DIY idea.

Hints of Coral in the Living Room. 

Gorgeous area. LOVE it. 

Softer shades of Coral. 

A mum did this for her daughters bathroom. It looks amazing - so calm and pretty don't you think?

Love this Living Room - so fun! And the only Coral accent is the blanket - see how it stands out. 

ORGANISED.

Well hello there 2013. I am so very pleased to meet you :) Seeing that it is January - I find that it's the time to organize your home for the year ahead. The Christmas rush is over, the Christmas decor is packed away and all the presents are laying around everywhere (hehe, yes me too). So now is the time to get stuck in, while work is still not as hectic and weekends remain unplanned. I hope these pics will help warm up the motivation...

Storage is a great way to "hide" things that you don't want on display, like cords, toys, papers etc....

Having an organised kitchen makes you feel so good - as it's a place you use everyday.

An organised bathroom is the same as the kitchen, Keep everything in jars or baskets so you know where it is when you need it. Love the cake stand as storage - I might just do that in my bathroom. 

I love a laundry that looks pretty and decorated - it's often a neglected place in the home. Also a clever idea for an organised lined cupboard is to place the duvet IN the matching pillow case - so you don't have to scrounge around for a matching set.

Love this idea.

Having an office area in your home is soooo handy - a place to keep your pens, papers, scissors etc... And why not make it stylish and decorated as well. 

A cute way to keep your receipts.

DECK THE HALLS...

Well it's that time of the year! Christmas - woohoo!!! Now that we're in our new house I have been itching to decorate all over with Christmas decor. So far I have the tree up and the stocking for Jude. So here is some inspiration to get you into the festive mood and myself :)

Traditional.

Neutral Decor - love the deer.

Very chic Christmas decor.

Also I wanted to feature my special friend Candace - she has her own blog "Life as we know it" and she hs shared pictures of her home decorated for the festive season and if there is one person who reminds me of Christmas, it's her! I've just added these 3 pics to give you some inspiration. PS: My favorite is the snowman fridge - so cute! 

FEELING COOL.

All over the world we are experiencing a way of coolness - either we are warming up due to the cooler weather or like me, cooling down due to the hot weather :) So here are some rooms toned with the cooler colors like greens and blues...

Cool toned bedrooms.

Cool toned Living rooms.

Love this Living room. I would relax in here any day.

Cool toned kitchens.

GEOMETRIC PATTERN.

So one design I'm obsessed with, is the geometric print! The first geometric print I bought this year was my melamine bowls and plates for my kitchen in navy blue and I still love them! I would love to get a nice print rug for my lounge, we have an open plan living room/dining room/office and it would be perfect to high-light the "living room" space and then I'll throw in some geometric accessories - aaahhh the dream :)

Ideas for the bedroom - love the yellow rug in the first room.

Love this room it's so full of design - dreamy!

Just been feeling so much love lately and it has been amazing! So I found some inspiration in sharing some "love" through your home.

NEUTRAL BEDROOM

So Im still in love with a neutral bedroom. I just think for me it just seems so relaxing and I want our bedroom to be the most relaxing place in the house! I love a neutral room with texture and maybe a bit of colour every now and again.

Loving the wood against the neutral tones.

Simple accents add to the room.

So relaxing :)

Simple and pretty.

Different elements like patterned bedding, art work and a teeny bit of colour can make the room more interesting.
