Mr. Bazaar Goes On A Little Interiors Adventure!

Happy Weekend: Black On Black

If you follow Bright.Bazaar on Instagram, you'll know that Mr. Bazaar went on a little adventure to IKEA yesterday. Let me explain the story: I've been trying to get hold of their Stockholm Rand rug for almost a year, and when I heard on Thursday that it had sold out Europe-wide, I thought it was never going to be. Then, yesterday, it transpired that there was one rug left in the Birmingham store. So, I jumped into my car and made the 220-mile, 4-hour round trip from London to Birmingham and back to pick up the rug! My heartmate was laughing saying at least it was a weekday so they didn't have to come along with me on a wild goose chase across the country for a rug! Well, I'm nothing if not determined (read: interiors crazy!). It was actually kinda fun to go a road trip: I had the radio blaring and 'sang' along at the top of my voice the whole way there and back. Have you ever taken any crazy, impromptu trips for an interiors piece?! I'd love to hear your stories. Have a great weekend, friends.

Sweet Paul: A Blue Christmas

Blue rocks. Period. I've always been a fan of this versatile hue; I've used it in my clothing and decor choices for years - even my car is blue! However, it wasn't until a few years ago when I discovered just how fantastic the colour can be when used as the anchor point for a festive decorating scheme. Each year my main tree (yes, Mr.B loves Christmas decorating so much that he has more than one tree...!) is now decorated with a Nordic blue colour scheme. So, I was delighted that the Holiday issue of Sweet Paul included a Christmas story based around the very same palette. Styled and photographed by Germany-based Dietlind Wolf, the spread inspired me to add some new elements to my own decorating scheme this year. I especially love how Dietlind combined ice blue and winter teal hues with frost and rust accents, which work really well to break up the palette. As well as this beautiful story, you can also see my market pages, a travel piece on Munich and my recurring Will's Picks feature, which gives hints, tips and inspiration for creating a Nordic White Christmas scheme. I always love working on Holiday issues (even if it is during summer!) but it's even better to enjoy reading the issue cover to cover once all the hard work is done. Now I can start to think about starting this year's seasonal decorating! Tell me, do you use any blue in your festive decor?
