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.

What a cool bed

Love this

Beautiful

This is so pretty and would make a beautiful present

Perfect for a beach house

I ♥ labelled little jar lids

By JP | Published Monday, 16 July 2012

I recently bought chalky flat matt paint in two colours and the great thing is that they were buy one get one free so I only spent £1.29 for both. I then painted the jar lids and labelled with chalk. Simple. I must admit that I really enjoyed writing with a chalk and have since been tempted to paint a lot of things just so that I can use it.

Sunday in London

By JP | Published Sunday, 15 July 2012

I spent a day in London today which was great. There is so much to see and regardless of where you go you are bound to see something new and interesting.

We started in Tate Modern and then walked down South Bank to Westminster Bridge/ Big Ben and finished in Paul's in Covent Garden.

South Bank is hosting Festival of the World at the moment which is extremely creative and fun. If you are visiting London any time soon definitely try and visit it.

Hope you are all enjoying your Saturday morning.

My friend Karen introduced me to a really cool Facebook page called Art & Architecture with really cool photos. I have copied some of the photos below but their page has 1000s so check it out.

I love this one, it is such a simple but cool idea to play with post it notes.

Absolutely beautiful

Amazing building

I love this!

Great picture, I didn't even realise at first what it was made out of

Everyone is going to France on holiday this year. I have travelled to Paris number of times but have never been in the South of France and definitely want to go soon. I have put together some of the beautiful French decor style photos. Hope you like them.
