Three Inspirations: Dramatic Black, Floristy & Reading Nook

1 | 2 | 3
I don't think I'll ever tire of that Friday feeling, will you? This week I've felt particularly inspired by black walls, especially this bedroom with its circus-themed typography that makes a quirky and imaginative statement on the feature wall. Those who have been reading for a while will know how much I adore fresh blooms, so no surprise that this delightful florist's space caught my eye. Finally, a colourful little reading nook is a must for any home! What has inspired you today?

  3. Very inspiring post- My daughter has a portion of a wall painted with chalkboard paint- I think I've been inspired to draw something with chalk (like in your first photo) that is a bit permanent. Hmmm, what to draw!!

  4. Those are some gorgeous images. I'm in love with the window treatments in the last photo, the color and the ruffle trim...perfection.

  5. I have recently decided I want to go to florist school. Or, do whatever it takes to surround myself with flowers and be able to identify every single one. I'm totally serious, even if it takes me the next 10 years! (So, yeah, I'm inspired by that second image, too).

    What inspired me today? Reading about gardens. Always inspiring.

  11. That first wall is great! Have you seen the work of Dana Tanamachi? Some great chalk typography! - http://www.danatanamachi.com/

    Oh and this week I have been inspired by photographs from Lotte & Bloom (a glasgow based florist - http://www.lotteandbloom.co.uk/ ) who I thought you might like (& who I am about to start a collaboration with!)

  12. i love dana's chalk drawings. did you know that annie sloan's chalk paint can be drawn on as well? any shade - lots of possibilities i think!

    that reading corner is stunning. though i would probably still drag ten of those volumes to bed with me.

    inspired by the brilliant clean green country air this morning, it's so rich with scent it's like eating something really delicious.

    and by the light on the hills, diffuse and quiet

    and by my storytelling + storyreading children. so much energy! x

  21. I am inspired by the baby apples and peaches and roses in my backyard.

    AND to turn one of my nook into a bright reading nook like above. That's a spectacular idea!!!
