Weekend Inspiration

4 day weekend! I have Monday and Tuesday off work...just to use up some holiday but it's also our anniversary on Tuesday, so we are off out for a nice meal Monday night at the Daffodil and then out for a hike Tuesday before going to set the menu at our wedding caterers. Today's agenda is clean the flat and relax as I've already been to the gym, and I'm hoping to get a project done tomorrow.

Onto the inspiration, I've always though having a hammock in the garden would be good but dangerous as I would spend far too much time in it. This set up with fairy lights would be so relaxing in the evenings I would probably end up sleeping out there!

This small area of open shelving adds in some functional space to a small kitchen. It would be great for keeping small items off the counter while adding some storage space into a wall where you may not have enough room for cabinets. I also love that you can wash up the bowls etc then dry them and put them back on the shelf without moving.

Pink is not my colour, but I love this coordination here. I would pick maybe green or blue, or yellow...but this house just looks so put together and stylish with the bright pops of colour.

Have a lovely weekend all, I'm off to make something nice for lunch xx

Weekend Inspiration

I hope you're all having a great weekend? I've been having a busy one so far with a run and hill walk yesterday and then some friends round for pizza and a film, and off visiting family today. Maybe a cheeky run or hill walk too as it's now less that 5 weeks until we climb Kilimanjaro!

Still been pinning as usual though, so onto the weekend inspiration for this week.

Green floors. Something I never thought I'd like but these look so glossy and because the walls are white it doesn't seem to be too much. Also how nice is the light fixture?

I think I pinned this for the headboard, but the coral, gold and neutral colour palette is lovely, if maybe a little feminine for a shared bedroom but you could sub some aqua in for the coral.

I thought this kitchen and dining area is the perfect mix of rustic, casual and glam for me! The chandeliers add a bit of fancyness, but the space looks relaxed and not too formal. Plus I love the table and the chairs look nice and comfy...

Have a great Sunday everyone xx

Weekend Inspiration

And I'm back in the room!

Sorry for the unplanned hiatus, I've been sorting lots of things like visas, inoculations and kit for Kilimanjaro. Plus having 6 different inoculation's over the past week has made my body think it is being attacked resulting in horrible flu type symptoms while it tries to fight them all off...thankfully it seems to be getting better today! I've done no exercise since Tuesday and every day counts now it's only 6 weeks until Kilimanjaro so I'm off for a jog this morning (armed with lots of tissues!).

Not a lot else to report about this week, although we have had some work done on the flat and I will write a post about it.

As usual more on my pinterest page, and here is this week's selection of inspiration pics.

Along with a trunk to use as a coffee table I am forever on the look out for a sideboard like this to use as a TV unit in our living room. So far not found anything suitable, but I'm not actively looking and after the wedding and Kili maybe I'll actually have some money for furniture and can start looking! In the meantime look at the shape of this one...gorgeous!

This room caught my eye because it is modern and bright but still keeps and celebrates some of the period features. Also the grey toned flooring really adds to the light and bright feel, although I'd have gone with a different light fixture in here probably something metallic and a bit more simple...

This modern dining nook really makes such use of the window, and would make a great versatile space. You can eat there, the kids can do their homework, I would sit there to read (albeit with more cushions) or browse the web. Plus it looks so clean and simple which in a dining/kitchen area is always good for easy maintenance!

Have a great bank holiday weekend UK readers, I'm off for a hopefully not to sniffly run and then a BBQ later, maybe a hike tomorrow then as it's meant to rain all day Monday I'll be cleaning the flat and writing some more posts!
