garden crazy

Seems i am on a garden roll!! I'm going to entice Lee into the garden with a beer and fag to try and get him to help me this weekend. Do men get inspired? Do they??? ;)

I want a fire bowl/pit....

inside out

I need all the inspiration i can get if i'm going to get my garden finished before Autumn, i love the idea of continuing the house into an 'outside room'. Immediate plan is to create some benches/planters with some patio slabs and an old pallet (!?!), then planting.... and in my delusional state the end result will hopefully look like these.....

mini loft

Another stunning small space. Nicolas' mini loft in France, an international entry on Apartment Therapy small cool. How much do i love that sideboard!

ebay lust

I totally adore the Jason chair, rocket lamp and sewing box (off ebay). So desperately want these, i think i may be turning into a very materialistic person.....

wanted

Sod all things minimal and retro - Angelina is back!!!!

Her new film Wanted is released today, i have been looking forward to watching it for months. Favouritism aside it does look like a really good film and Angie looks stunning as usual and be honest i couldn't really give two hoots if it is rubbish - i will still watch it a hundred times!! ;)

sew what...

Boring knitting/sewing basket off eBay AND i hate the material but.... strangely i am in love with it!! I'm sure i can find some use for it.... either change the material, or somehow add a top and use as a small table?!

mad or inspired??

small cool

Most likely because i have a very small house i am always so intrigued to see other small homes and how their owners get round problems such as STORAGE!! I've been perusing Apartment Therapy's Small Cool homes and loved this one from Luca Andrisani, Chelsea NYC - who made third place in the East section.... should have come first!!

dream house?

Maybe not the best obsession i've ever had, but i found this house on rightmove and although it requires full refurbishment i can't stop obsessing about how perfect it could be (ok i know it looks a bit grotty....) and it is SO RIDICULOUSLY CHEAP - £115,000!!!!

Major downside is..... it is actually too far away. If it was closer to our area i would snap it up right this very second. Think i will email to Lee anyway....

Good old flickr.....

sitting pretty

These re-trouve 565 chairs are gorgeous and remind me of a funky version of the 70's peacock chair, which i've always loved. For outdoors or indoors?? Both me thinks! Via D*S

evil-bay

An update on my 2 very important items i've been watching on evil ebay....

0

:( Poulsen light went for over £90!

:( Wenge worktops went for £250 EACH!

0

So both totally out of my non-existant budget, i don't know why i get sucked in every time with low starting prices!

Therefore i decided i would look for some ebay eye candy to make it all better. The table and the shelved are only £5 each BUT the absolute best part is ALL 3 beauties below are 10 minutes down the road from me. Happy again :))
