Top of cupboards as an art display space – genius.  This also helps the kitchen feel a little less functional…

Another great way to add colour…did we mention that colour is back, baby?  Yeah, we did!

A nice bright colour in the stairwell is always fun – they’re generally dark and remember, it’s a transitional space so go wild!

Love those Muuto wall hooks…um want!!!!

A sneaky peek from Pia Jane Bijkerk’s new book “Little Treasures” – please take a moment to see if you can support her self publishing efforts in time for Mother’s day:

If you’ve never heard of Pia (really, are you serious?! ;-)) then her blog is a wonderful place to start.

Good luck Pia – we are supporting you!

When you start experimenting with colour, think of places like the kitchen backsplash, which is usually a small area & wouldn’t cost the earth to change when you move onto your next colour love.  Also, hallways & loos are other small areas where you can experiment (or go wild!).

A splash of blue in the kitchen.

Very very easy to do – I have thrown a whole bunch of pillows on the ground in front of the heating – a warm blanket, a light & a place for my tea & I’m off!

A very cosy reading nook.

A different (& lovely) way of displaying your art on those bookshelves you’ve emptied (never would happen at our house, I can’t seem to let go of all my books!).

Was at Abigail’s recently – loving her new bedroom (we were asked not to take photos so here’s the photo from her new book that’s out soon)!

Black walls.  THE best way to hide the TV  (as opposed to the usual white! ;-))

(PS I don’t believe in hiding the TV in a cupboard – obviously that’s the best way of hiding things! ;-))

Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Did you notice the books?  Not at first right?  Smoke & mirrors…this is really clever in my book. (pun intended!)
