Simply Dramatic

I don't know about you but I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Tori Mellott's new look in her teeny weeny New York apartment and in particular I love her lounge room as above. I just can't stop looking at it in this month's Domino. In one way it's so simple and serene with its almost all natural and white colour palette but the punches of black here and there makes it strong and dramatic. I love the injection of lilac on that monogrammed cushion and I also love the colourful books in the bookcase! Oh, and of course I love that art cluster wall!! It's all divine. I'm in Love!

French & Country

If you haven't already checked out Suzie Anderson's French & Country website - an {Australian} online shop full of all things French and GORGEOUS then you must right now! I love this image which appears on the opening page of her site. It was taken at Hotel Particulier in Aix-en-Provence, France. NB. I have posted about Hotel Particulier previously HERE.

A Pretty Field of Flowers

One of my lovely clients sent me a link to Morgue File today....I think she was trying to help me out with my recent blog block! I loved this field of flowers from Jari's photos! Thanks Bridgett for the link!!

Past Inspiration

Look at these beautiful botanical watercolour flowers which date back to 1606 which BibliOdyssey recently featured from Scrapbook Florilegium. Head on over there for the full scoop. I was particularly taken with the vibrant colours. So very pretty and inspiring!!

Houses To Die For

Well it seems my blog block may have almost passed...phew! Thanks for all of your encouraging comments!! Look at these beautiful old houses captured by Erika over at Urban Grace. She and her friend Annmarie recently packed the kids in the van and went for a drive around Boston to 'stalk' some of the gorgeous houses around the place and WOW is all I can say! Here are a few which caught my eye!! The top one is my favourite!

Blog Block & Pink Vases

Well, I seem to be suffering from a little **blog block tonight so unfortunately I don't have anything very exciting to share with you except for this beautiful pair of Antique pink Bristol glass vases from Windsor Smith. Oh how I love these vases which have two major things {I am currently obsessed with} going for them - they are pink and they have birds painted on them!! Then again I have always loved pink but birds are a reasonably new {within the last 6 months} obsession!! I promise I'll be over my blog block tomorrow!!

**Blog Block Definition - Blog Block is a phenomenon involving temporary loss of ability to begin or continue blogging usually due to lack of inspiration or creativity.

Sneaking A Peek...

Here's a little preview of a job we have all been working on lately at Black & Spiro. I should have some more pictures to share with you within the next couple of weeks but I couldn't help posting this one to whet your appetite!!
