{Champagne lamp? Yes please!}

Image: Supermarket Sarah

Have you been shopping on Supermarket Sarah recently? When we featured Sarah's brilliant website on the blog last year, it was certainly very popular. I popped back onto the site this morning and look what I found - champagne lamps! They wouldn't look right in my flat, but still, I can appreciate the wonderfulness that is a lamp made out of a vintage lampshade and a bottle of champagne! You can buy the lamp here. Don't you think Sarah's website is refreshingly different? What products on the site do you like?

{Pretty little tea light holders}

Valentines or not, these tea light holders are super cute, don't you think? Well done, notonthehighstreet - I'll be back for more, especially at only £3.50 a piece!

{Two yummy chairs}

It's Monday morning and a lazy Sunday afternoon cuddled up in my favourite armchair seems like forever ago. I went back to my hometown to spend some time with my family and a few old friends this weekend; what did you get up to? I'd love to hear about your adventures over the past few days.

I had a little dig around this morning and found these two yummy chairs, which look so inviting and even more stylish, that they make Monday morning not so bad! Tuesday's newsletter will be going out tomorrow, with all the latest interiors tips, discounts and inspirational ideas - sign up to the left for Bright.Bazaar in your inbox. In the meantime, take a look at these...


I'm not a huge fan of the SS10 collection from Heal's (it's a bit too zing, even for me!), but perhaps I'll grow to like it?! Any how, I do adore this chair: it's combination of retro styling with modern twists. The above is covered in Designers Guild Velvet - 10.0 on the luxurious Richter scale!


In April last year I wrote about Squint and I'm still loving their work, even if they did make last year's diary room chair for Big Brother! The George II armchair (above) is opulent, whilst maintaining personality, flair and colour - a winner in my book.

{Deer head brings in the style factor}

Isn't this deer head brilliant? In fact it's too brilliant for words. Thanks to Design For Mankind for sharing such a fantastic find from Elizabeth McGrath.

{Print love}

Image: 20x200
I found this simple and charming print via the swissmiss blog and went on to read the ironic - given the context of the print - yet happy story behind the prints 'rise to fame'. Read the story behind the artist of the print, Dylan Fareed here.

{Wow, this desk rocks...}


...Don't you think? For me, it's the subtlety of the different colours in each compartment that grabs my attention, but then it could be the typewriter print above the desk because that's super cool, too. Check out The Hansen Family website for more Swiss brilliance.

{Parisian architecture}

In case you hadn't guessed from the above photographs: I went to Paris last weekend! What a brilliant city it is (I promise I didn't just lark around in front of famous buildings!) I came away feeling so inspired. I'll be writing more about my inspirations from the Parisian capital next week, but in the meantime, here's some of the architecture that caught my eye.
