Ideas..

As I search for inspiration, casting my net and trying to find my style I am gradually building up a collection of blogs that I find myself drawn to. Knack Studios and Miss Mustard Seed are just two. What I love about these are the fact the ladies who run them do not only share their talents with readers but they also bare all so we can make our own homes a sanctuary. 

Below are a few creations from Miss Mustard Seed that I would love in my own home. 




And from Barb at Knack Studios




Ok so they are two different approaches but both take found, rescued and unloved furniture and turn them into pieces to be swooned over, swooooon. 

Miss Mustard Seed has a french flair while Knack is more modern vintage.

Found...

This week I visited a new car boot sale, i scored a few awesome finds. One of which was a street directory of Sydney. It turns out the lady who I bought it from purchased it 41 years ago and never actually went. My father was in Sydney 41 years ago as a £10 pom! How cool is that! Its full of maps and I was planning on using it to decoupage an old high chair I bought from the same lady, it converts into a chair and little table. Don't know if I'm brave enough though!
