Happy Home

It has been over two months since my last post, and loads has happened since then. Well maybe that’s an exaggeration, but it really feels that way. I won’t bore you with the details, but I will say that I am slowly beginning to feel like myself again, and am once again enjoying the things I love doing rather than sitting on the couch like a lump.

Last night I did a bit of an autumn clean… And have been looking at my lovely little home with fresh eyes. As always, I have loads of ideas about what I would like to do and change, but I lack the budget to do so. So it is more about strategic re-arranging than massive overhauls.

In the spirit of beautiful homes, I wanted to share the beautiful home of Joni Lay of  Lay Baby Lay, which I spotted on The Glitter Guide.

Fabulous Fireplaces

Since we are experiencing a particularly mild winter this year, fireplaces needn't be functional at all. Instead they can be used as a gorgeous focal point, or purely for display purposes.

Burgundy Barn

This amazing barn conversion in Burgundy, France, by Joséphine Gintzburger makes me swoon! Concrete flooring offset by the warmth of wooden beams and furniture. Modern art juxtaposed with antique chandeliers...

Hanging Out

A little while ago, while catching up on all I had missed in the blog world, this "Teen Hangout" on Peep My Style caught my eye.

Beautifully styled by Emily Mughannam of EM Design Interiors and photographed by Helynn Ospina.

Happy Home

I am staying at my brother and sister-in-laws home while here in London, and I am completely in love with it. Unlike me, Tabitha (SIL), was fully in charge when it came to decorating the gorgeous three-story house in South West London. Her amazing eye for design and colour makes such a happy, bright and colourful space.

The below home, seen on Glitter Guide, reminds me so much of my brother’s home – It is so beautiful and light, and filled with just the right amount of sparkle and pink. I adore the use of colour and the mix of eclectic ornaments, and unique art.       

Tori, pictured in her home, is an event coordinator at Sitting in a Tree Events. She describes her personal style as eclectic, bohemian, super feminine, and a little bit hippie and beachy. Her home is filled with a carefully selected collection of things from all over (flea markets, travels, Design Within Reach, low to high end) that are layered throughout. - Glitter Guide
