House Tour - Four Walls and a Roof

It's been a while since we have been on a house tour. Here is the latest we found over the last few weeks via one of our favourite interior design blogs Desire to Inspire (find more blogs we love here)

This house tour is Lucy's mid century inspired renovation from Four Walls and a Roof, visit her blog for more details of this amazing transformation. We love the neutral colour pallet and the warmth of the wood pieces and flooring throughout the home.

Pretty Pink Wedding

After posting our pink 'Inspiration Boards' last week, we had to share this beautiful wedding we came across while looking for gorgeous pink wedding inspiration. 

We loved how this wedding looked simply elegant yet casual without an obvious theme glaring at you, but how subtle everything tied together. From the different bridesmaid dresses (though still worked so lovely together) to the floral arrangement vases collected from goodwill and friends and family leading up to the big day.

This 'Well Wishes' tree is a great idea instead of a guest book. I had a similar idea at my wedding, I covered plain gift tags with coordinating paper to my theme and hung some from the tree and the rest on a table with a note instructing guests to leave a 'Well Wishes' message and then hang on the tree. I also had disposable cameras on each table and created an album with the photos and added each guests message tag to the photo. I love looking back over the special messages and looking at all the photos, though they were mostly taken by our younger brother and our page boys so the photos were interesting!

We're Loving Pink

For our first inspiration boards of the year we couldn't go past pink, though we are not typically 'pink girls' we loved how elegant pastel pink can look when done right.

For weddings a soft pretty pastel pink with accents of gold really is a beautiful combination. The gold cutlery is an elegant addition to the table settings as is the gold trim around the wedding cake. The vintage suitcase is a great idea for collecting your wedding cards or wishing well donations on the day, you can even use the suitcase as a keepsake box for the cards and mementos of your special day.

Grey is one of our favourite colours to add an accent colour to (those who have followed our blog for a while will know we love grey & yellow!). Pastel pink is no exception, here are a few interior spaces using pastel pink that we loved. Mia needs the pink children's chair for her room, I wish Target US shipped to Australia! (Update, the chair is now out of stock online)

A Wedding in Tuscany

It seems such a while ago since we have had the time to sit down and go through our favourite wedding websites and look for inspiration for new designs during this busy Christmas time. So when I came across this wedding I had flagged to come back to for the beautiful colour theme I had to share this whimsical and fun filled wedding.

We love the design asthetic of birdcages (see our Lovebirds Wedding Invitation here) and absolutely love them filled with flowers for the table settings...

This pinwheel idea for the tables is a great to keep the kids entertained too!

I'd love to know where to get these hot air ballon laterns! They would be great for a kids birthday party.

Nursery Tour - Sweet Playroom

With the new baby due in March, Mia will be ready to move into a big girl bed after Christmas so I'm thinking of making the other half of her room a playroom...I found this gorgeous playroom at Project Gallery which won the Project Gallery for October. I love the colour scheme with the bright colours and geometric patterns in the cushions and using the same fabric to back the book shelves.

This is a great idea for a DIY play station and a great way to keep the room tidy so you don't have to keep picking them up!

Here are some clever toy storage ideas that I have found on Pintrest.  It is a great way to save space and get those toys off the floor!

Small Office Spaces

With baby number 2 on the way I have to clear out my spare room which I was using for office space/storage and come up with a spot in my living/dinging room for a small desk for my laptop with a little storage space. So in searching for inspiration of course I have been scouring Pinterest so here a few pictures i've found to help give me ideas for what I could do in such a small space...

We're Loving Navy

Navy is becoming one of our new favourite colours. Our addiction to Pinterest lead us to find these great inspiration photos for navy colour themed weddings and interior decorating.

The combination of navy & white is a fresh contrast with pops of colour in the flowers and table settings just seem to work really well. Navy lends itself to all seasons, the photos below remind us of spring but you could easily use navy in a winter theme wedding with ivory flowers and snowflake motifs.

We love this Madeline chair (pic 1) from Urban Outfitters it would be perfect for a small reading nook. I would never have thought of navy in a nursery (pic 5) but it works really well with the contrast mint shelves and artwork to break up the dark wall. Picture 6 reminds me of the buffet cabinet and blue feature wall I have in my lounge room, though not as neatly organised!

What do you think of navy used in weddings and interiors, too dark? Or with the right lighting and contrasting accents you could pull it off?
