The lovely thing about doing flowers for a dinner party is you get to have them around the house afterwards. These ones migrated to my bedroom.I am just loving succulents and pink flowers together right now, the black glass makes it just a little more grown up.
Hope you all had a fabulous long weekend.

I have had this amazing print by Mia Widlake for about 5 years, safely rolled up while I tried to decide how to frame it. Finally I was inspired by some floating prints in Sabine McDonald's home and decided to mount this print between two pieces of glass. I am thrilled with how it turned out. Worth the wait and will definitely use this framing method again.
Love how it goes with the succulents and cement. Have a lovely weekend

Spotted this gorgeous credenza styling on Pinterest the other day, a glimpse of a truly gorgeous apartment featured on Domaine which is well worth a look. Simply gorgeous photos by Bethany Nauert. Love the brass lamps, the art, succulents, sculpture. It reminded me strongly of my credenza, with art, brass lamp and even a succulent, but mine needs a bit of finishing off (see second photo down). So I found a few little details that might just do the trick.I love my lamp and the painting (by my very talented mom), it just needs a few bits and pieces to really look special. And yes the photo could be better, but its all I could manage with my iphone, my real camera was unavailable and I sure do miss it!
Bronze horse sculptures from Pottery Barn - I know Pottery Barn! Good value too, I really want them!
Brass lamps - I like them chunky and a bit over the top - ugly good if you know what I mean. My one came from West Elm a few years ago but not in stock in more unfortunately, would love another one.
Lamps below are: skyscraper lamps by Maison Jansen, & below left pair both by from 1st Dibs. They are going to be original period and they are going to be pricey. Below right - brass tripod by Empire Studio, very nice and far more affordable.
Succulents - think I need something with a bit more oomph, you can barely even see mine in the photo. Love this brass plant pot diy from A Beautiful Mess.
So watch this space, there may be a little reshuffle coming this way.

Its been a relaxed weekend of pottering around the house making things pretty. Fresh flowers, a new succulent from the market, and moving the cat painting behind the dining room table. It was meant to be here, much better than where it was before in the lounge. I love the greens on the table and in the painting, they freshen up the whole space.
Its the last bit of school holidays and financial year end, so we will be on break for two weeks. I need to concentrate on finishing up a job I have just resigned from, and find a new one. The job I just resigned from really sapped my creative energy, it will be good to have a break and recharge the batteries a bit. Lots of exciting things planned for the rest of the year and I look forward to having the energy to make them happen.
Hope you all had a fabulous long weekend.
