{Manic Monday}

We're in two minds about Mondays: on one hand they are, for many, the start of the working week and therefore another five days until lie-ins and lazy breakfasts, but on the other hand, they are often days full of ideas and inspiration. Refreshed and recharged from the weekend, we find Mondays a great day for making plans and looking forward to the future. Do you like Mondays or do you find other days more inspiring? Either way, there's often lots to organise for the week ahead and a blackboard panel, like this stylish one featured in the September issue of Ideal Home Magazine, is sure to help keep things on track.

{Brume, Brume!}

When I discovered Brume's website early last year I fell in love with their quirky and distinctive products in a flash. I can't wait to get a house big enough to have an office room - I'm planning a wall of blackboard stickers that I can plaster with inspirational images and text. And how could anyone resist the puppy bounding up the stairs?! A lovely way to encourage a smile as I make my bleary-eyed way down stairs for the first coffee of the day....!
