And another cake...

By JP | Published Tuesday, 31 July 2012

I had a lot of dinner parties recently and don't always have time to make challenging cakes so here is another which I made really quickly and was delicious! I got the recipe from a magazine in while waiting for my sis in hospital so I'm sorry but I don't have the link.

Basically:

buy shortcrust pastry

Make cream:
500g Mascarpone cheese
80g icing sugar
vanilla extract

Add blueberries on top and it's finished!

I ♥ Big Walls

My friend H. and I talked about large wall spaces. Here are some ideas with what you could do with photo frames but also stickers/stencils which are very popular and look great (also not expensive). We are considering putting some in our flat!

I love this idea! it is simple and neat and there is always somewhere where you can use this. I would really like to have this in the kitchen for all the cookbooks that I have accumulated over the years. Check out the link for full tutorial.

Flat renovations

By JP | Published Wednesday, 25 July 2012

Here are some more photos from our flat. I love how it's starting to look brighter, not that you would say that after seeing the first photo of our bathroom but there has definitely been progress!! I can't wait for it to be finished! New windows are in which means that everything else can be finished as well.

We have decided to put another layer of floor boards for insulation and to make it easier for a parquet to be put down and now regret not leaving it like this! I love these boards! It's too late now but it would have been a lot cheaper and it would still look cool.

I spent Sunday in a beautiful town of Winchester with my girlfriends and had a blast. If you haven't been it's a great town to visit with lots of unique, cute shops and coffee/eating places as well as beautiful art pieces.

Another little project I did recently...

By JP | Published Thursday, 19 July 2012

I had a board where I kept on pinning random pieces of paper, photos etc. On the board I also had a list of things to do in 2012. Some of which I have already crossed off but quite a few there were still on there. This looked quite messy and because I love my newly discovered chalky matt paint I decided to paint it and this is how it all happened...

I ♥ Turquoise

By JP | Published Wednesday, 18 July 2012

We have been looking recently for a colour for our website and I fell in love with turquoise. Not only are photos of items below turquoise but are also so beautiful.

I love the first chair it would make such a beautiful piece in a completely white bedroom.
