Around here lately.....

I've been a little quiet here on the blog and my other social media lately as I just don't seem to find the time to pop in and post like I used to. So today I decided to share a little look at how the house is looking lately. As we've said goodbye to Summer I like to change the rooms up slightly each season. Hey, it's just my thing! Whether that means bringing in items from another room in the house, moving furniture or just adding a new cushion. 

It's the little things that can freshen a space and give it a new look.

Noah's room below had a little makeover. The prints, wall weave and plants were from other rooms but I love how they look grouped together here. His new drawers add extra storage as he needed a little more now that he has started school. Plus the wood injects a little warmth into the neutal space.

My little desk space received a refresh with some new Jasmine Dowling prints.

The space is tiny so there's not much to it but I'm loving the peachy tones at the moment.

My sitting room just received a cushion change up. The cushions from the main living room were moved in here for a new look. I'm still loving the pinks and neutral tones. It feels perfect for Autumn.

Last year we put doors on all of our Billy Bookcases in this room and it gives the room a more serene feel.

Just don't open the cupboards! They're full to the brim! Also look how well my plants are doing here.

The devils ivy seems to love this spot!

Jasper's room received a little change up with his bed being moved onto a different wall and a refresh of his artwork. Weave and prints were from other rooms in the house. I added a new plant for some greenery. The main pop of colour comes from his rug. The colours are a gorgeous combination.

The main bedroom stayed the same. Still loving the wall hanging above the bed.

As you know bed linen is my weakness! It really can change the whole feel of the room.

I couldn't resist this green quilt cover and I'm loving the combination with pink pillowcases.

The entrance way is still feeling very summery with my hats and bags so I will have to change that a little when the weather gets cooler. At the moment they're both still getting a work out!

Friday's Favourites.

I'm finding Instagram is the best place to shop at the moment. It's a great place to stumble across new stores and great products that you don't find at your local shopping centre.

My phone is full of screenshots of things I love and want to take another look at!

Here are a few things I am loving this week -

Cushion

Pom Pom Blanket

Pug Planter

Cards

Ceramic Planter

Leather Cushion

Bamboo Chair

Have a wonderful weekend! xx

Interior Inspiration - my favourite things from Down That Little Lane

I was asked to put together my favourite things from Down That Little Lane for their current newsletter.

With one week left until our renovations are complete and we move home, I was drawn to all things homewares and interior related. 

I can see the look I am going for in my head, now just to bring it all together. I was leaning towards all the neutral, natural tones with interest brought in via different textures and finishes.

Here is what I am loving over at Down That Little Lane at the moment...

I am really loving it all! I also love the excuse of a new season to change things up a bit. It's the perfect time to put away the summery stuff and add a few more cosy things ready for Autumn/Winter.

Anything catching your eye?

Do you change things up seasonally?

Monday Must Haves at Adairs

I hadn't walked into an Adairs store for a while but when I passed one on Friday I couldn't resist popping in.  Linen is my weakness!
You know those shops where you just want to buy everything? That's how I felt in Adairs!
I've put together some of my favourites.

1. Adored this watercolour quilt cover
2. Cute and colourful kids sheets that come in queen size
3. I love these cute matching pillowcases
4.This cushion came home with me!
5. This cushion would be cute in a little one's room
6. These hand towels would add a pop of colour to the bathroom
7. Even though I love colour this grey is calling me!
You can see more of my linen collection here
Have you popped into Adairs lately? Which one's your favourite? Where else do you like to shop for linen?

Gold Rush!

I am loving EVERYTHING gold at the moment.
Here are some of my favourites.

I am loving these gold foil polka dot wall stickers from Look Sugar. I bought some to pop on my wall behind my desk. I will share the photos next week.

Gold goodness on this birthday card from Kikki K.

How cute is this gold heart foil. 

You can find it on Down That Little Lane.

I love this Kate Spade clutch and phone case. Found here.

This gold foil print is lovely. Found at Adore Magazine Homewares

And I have wanted one of these phone handset for ages. Loving it in the gold! Found at Papier D'Amour

You've got to love a pineapple and especially in gold. This one is from Typo.
How about you? Are you loving anything gold at the moment?

It's been a black + white week.

So it's the first day of Autumn today and it seems fitting that my tastes have strayed a little from colour and moved towards black and white.
It all started with these rugs I bought from Ikea. I wanted to change the natural sisal one over to something a little cosier and softer for Noah. (that's my excuse!)

I am loving the black + white stripes with the black floorboards and the white walls. It makes the little spots of colour pop even more!

I also couldn't resist buying this b+w chevron mug from Woolies,to use as a vase. It looks perfect next to the lightbox.

And I found myself dressed in b+w today. I'm co-ordinating with the cushions! Black jeans and a dotty top from Trenery :) Cushions from Freedom.

Now I'm just about to have a little bit of brownie and vanilla ice-cream. May as well keep the theme going! ;) Do you every find yourself surrounded by certain colours? (or lack of them like me!)
