Put the Love in the Coconut

I think the last time I had brand new sheets was the 10 sets I got for our wedding gifts, that was over 7 years ago. Yep, I'm totally convinced now, I need pillowcases with 'PUT THE LOVE IN THE COCONUT' all over them! The boat would look much happier with these too don't you think.....

I've admired all the creative goodness produced by Rachel Castle for a while, who could miss her trademark colourful phrase on pillowcases, towels and clothing and there are new things too, like the fruity velvet cushion covers and quilt covers, which I love. For more visit Castle

How awesome are these Gorman&Castle T-shirts and singlets!
double piped velvet cushion covers in fruity colours
yes, you will be mine! cue evil laugh...
Hand printed artwork by Rachel Castle and handstitched one-off embroideries also by Rachel and her mother Jillain Patching, what a team they make.  you can purchase Castle goodness online at Castle and things.com 

Changing the mood

It's amazing how easy you can change the look and mood of a room just
by changing, adding or re-arranging things. This master bedroom of 
Justina Blakeney shows how easy it is to change the mood of a bedroom
just by changing up a few cushions and bedding. Pretty dramatic isn't it?  


My favourite look is the first one with the bright suzani justina brought back
 from Istanbul, but the other two looks have a snug feel perfect for a cold Winters 
night, I guess that's the beauty of changing things up to suit the Seasons.

...Ikat eye candy



Ikat has been in the design world spotlight lately, and has been doing
the rounds on all the blogs (the ones I read anyway). In my opinion, Ikat
patterns have established a place in design much like white and blue has,
so I think we will be enjoying these striking, whimsical, colourful and
mood evoking patterns for a long long time. And I won't mind one bit!
