I want my home to reflect me, my likes, my loves, my comfort. I want it to become my haven and feel more comfortable and warm every time I add something to it.
You could use a designer, carpenter or DIY, what matters, at the end, is - when you step in, stay, settle down, does it make you happy? If it does, then everything is worth it!!
Since the last few months I have been drooling over home websites, furniture, decor, soft furnishings, fixtures, whatever-else-home-related-you-can-think-of. Came across some lovely inspirations, incorporated a few into my design. Today I will share some of my favourites with you :)
Here we go -

Yes! I am getting a swing in my living room. I have wanted one for ages and this was my chance to get it. More on that when the swing is ready :)

I love love love this settee! Traditional yet packs a punch. I have a weakness for paisleys and the yellow is bright, uplifting yet doesn't overwhelm. This could be put in a room with neutral furniture and wall colours. *Note to self - Look out for fabric like this or the one below.
Another favourite is this Ikat slipper chair!
Leaving you with this one - which appeals to the organized (OCD as some call it, but it is not) part of my brain. How cute is this. Need to source this and make a place for something like this. Enthucutlets are you listening??
Next post, next week - Electrical and Plumbing and what I learnt about them. Sounds boring? Let's make it fun shall we :)
Feel free to send in queries, bounce off ideas, share thoughts, inspirations and ideas!!
Very pretty pic, yes swing in a living room is a lovely, lovely idea.

ReplyDeleteSim,
ReplyDeleteI love your blogs especially about home decoration. I can't agree enough that your home decoration should evolve with you. I loved the picture of living room with swing. I wish I could get that swing here in US.
