I absolutley love makingitlovely.com, I can't wait for a new post to appear in my reader from Nicole. I am in awe of how she puts things together in her home. I don't particularly subscribe to a lot of her style (I'm a bit more rustic/whimsical/not as modern) but it just works so well together. Nicole does amazing mood boards for her many projects she undertakes in overhauling her new home. I thought I'd give it a try... Click on the image above to see a larger version.
I am slowly taking over the spare bedroom to totally be devoted to my Little Miss Emma creations. My must-have, big-ticket item is a high bench to cut fabric on like the Stenstorp kitchen island from Ikea. I bought the gateleg table as a bit of a sewing station but have found it not high enough to cut on but good for sewing on (can reach the pedal whereas on a high bench you couldn't).
I didn't want it to be too pink so I think just a pop of colour with the raspberry chandelier (from etsy seller MyFinch) and some pink prints (from etsy seller HadleyHutton) would do the trick. Everything else is a bit too Ikea-inspired I'm finding?? I would like a French inspired Louis chair but thought that a swivel chair on wheels would be more useful? And just so happens that Ikea has one I like! Hmmm...not sure, looks too much like an Ikea catalogue?
The whole house is getting painted in the next month - inside and out - and I want the interior to be Antique White USA by Dulux. I'll be posting about paint colours soon though...
