Laundries...

So Sorry I have been MIA for a bit, busy, busy + sick kids = no ME (blog ;) time.... I am supposed to be getting my eldest daughter ready for school as she is going today for the first day this week! Blog time first right???? Haha.


LAUNDRIES:


These are one of the hardest working rooms in the house, a tidy, uncluttered, organised laundry makes life so much easier!!!

I have shared some photos below (images via pinterest) hoping it will give everyone some inspiration to help turn the often neglected, tired, or just unorganised laundry into a place that is pleasant to work in. Enjoy! 


I like the towel storage, perfect for summer with the pool, and the floor to ceiling storage
Floor to ceiling storage is AMAZING!!!
now THIS is how you do a laundry room! tabletop for folding, simple cabinets to hide stuff, and a tv for watching while folding!
Great for a small spot, and how about a screen to watch tv while you are folding. This could also be done in a cupboard, just shut the cupboard doors across and Presto!!! goodbye laundry hello visitors ;)

 
Your laundry doesn't have to drab and boring.  Make it fun and a place where you would want to spend time in.  Adding the patterned area rug is a great idea for a focal point and excitement in this space.
And.... How about a spot of colour, this is a gorgeous laundry with plenty of storage and looks like it doubles as a mudroom. Excellent just what I need.....

 
Laundry Day
A touch of whimsy, I know its not a laundry but I love clean washing, I love hanging it out, (folding, ironing not so much) but this photo caught my eye!




Have a gorgeous day, hope this was inspiring, and may your washing get dry today!!!! Ingridxx

Workshop @ Jumbled with Emma Blomfield....

Workshop!!.......

I had the pleasure of meeting the gorgeous Emma Blomfield of Nest Designs when a friend and I went to the lovely JUMBLED workshop on Saturday afternoon. 
Firstly I got to pick her brains about a tricky room in my own home that I was struggling to figure out where to start what to do, and as I love colour but can be a little unsure of using it other than accessories, she helped me decide to "go for it & have some fun" with this particular room, just the "push" I needed. I have decided to share this room before and after with you all at a later date...
Secondly, I have studied Interior Design but it was great to be reminded and refreshed of lots of tricks and tips, I thought over the next couple of weeks I might share some of these with you all, so here goes.....

Forgotten rooms or areas....

*Hallways
*Laundries
*Bathrooms
*Pantries 


Basically these areas are typically "work horse" type areas but that does not mean they can't be gorgeous, colourful or quirky. I cannot talk as my Front Entrance/ Hallway is a little bland, I am going to work on that, so I hit "Pinterest" for some inspiration. Here is a few that caught my eye........

Gorgeous Geometric printed wallpaper and chair
I adore this wallpaper, and chair, together they have the WOW factor!!! This would be great for any area in the house, I think I am in love :)
 

Wallpaper in the hallway
BOLD Wallpaper which looks stunning!!!!!
hallway flooring
Simple, crisp and calming.....
Make an Entrance. A hallway painted in black and white.
A great DIY project, finding an assortment of frames or mirrors and painting them all the same colour......



My Home Tour: The Hallway
A collection of pictures photos and ornaments that are close to your heart makes a stunning visual display.....

Feel free to check out my Pinterest page for more inspiration, I am constantly updating my pinboards. Link below......

My next purchase is one of the large colourful (of course) rag rugs, I already have one but one simply is not enough!!! As soon as my pocket money allows, I hope to have one of their beaded chandeliers, then again I will have to decided before then which colour... hmmm.

Exciting News!!!!

I have exciting News!!!
 
 
Milo & Mitzy have some gorgeous new throws on her blog and facebook site that she has available. I must admit I am a little biased as they are lovingly handmade in pure NZ wool by no other than my multitalented MUM!!! It is so exciting to see them "out there" with these gorgeous photos that I am sure have been styled by Amy. Now I am off to convince mum that I need at least one in every colour hehehe. ;)
 
 
 
 
Aren't they stunning!!!!!
