Beautiful Light...

...isn't this soooo pretty?

A Tale of How...

This is the most beautifully twisted and macarbe book by The Blackheart Gang...





I would love it for my coffee table... The story is so dark and beautifully crazy...

And the illustrations...


They write on their website, describing the three members of Blackheart Gang (Ree Treweek, Jannes Hendrikz and Markus Smit aka Markus Wormstorm - RealEstateAgent and SweatX fans will know him):
These three Cape Townians,( who are said to be so mindbogglingly hip that they are forced to wear skinny jeans to keep their pelvis’ from exploding), care little for scholars or metaphors.

Hook...


...these bird hooks by Jantze BrogÄrd Asshoff are adorable... I wonder if they come in Sparrows...

Tie Leaves...




...so how cute are these? They are cable ties, disguised as little leaves... apparently they are available in many colours (including non leaf colours). They are by Luf Design.

Polarage...

Polaroid + Collage = Polarage

All the colours...




Fabric for Life...









I Heart Baking

Bedroom...


Sunflowers...


...in my kitchen.

Handy (wo)man...


Sometimes my handy man side comes out. I'd make such a good husband one day.

Study/Entrance



My study was feeling a little narcissistic a while ago. It was a beautiful sunny day, I had just been super domestic and the study was basking in the light of the sun and demanded I take some photos of it in all its well positioned glory.

Art for my Barren Walls...

... this is my second original piece. It is currently one of the only things adorning my huge purple wall too. It's a daunting wall, I'm really putting off this picture cluster that I'm hoping to achieve.



A dear friend painted this for me, and I totally ADORE it. I look at it all the time.

Shoe collection...

...some new additions to my shoe collection. Adorable, I know.



I Heart Zoom.

Back to some Home Improvements...

Yes I know I have been slack with my flat at the moment... One of those situations where everything costs money and money does not grow on trees, however, I will continue to hope that it does.

Anyway... a recent trip to Hertex's warehouse in Stikland to beg for off cuts yeilded great results. A huge box of the sample cuts from last seasons range. All big enough for my application: Make a Patchwork Head Board.

So my list of To Do's is:

- Patchwork Head Board
- Fake Curtains for Kitchen Window x 1
- Blinds for Bathroom Windows x 2
