Inspiration - The Rough with the Smooth

 

  

  

This isn't the first time I've written about Slywia's inspiring work, and I'm pretty sure it won't be the last. Project-i is one of the handful of interior design blogs that I continue to follow, because I love this Polish studio's aesthetic, choice of materials and mix of colours, textures, rustic and modern. There's always a rawness, an interesting, intelligent use of space and a real sense of place in their creations. Every little detail feels right. I could move into this flat tomorrow, couldn't you?

More photos this stunning apatment can be found on Project-i's blog

 here, here, here and here.

Enjoy!

Moodboard - She Sells Seashells

So we're halfway through the school holidays and it feels like summer's just around the corner. Savannah and I have been enjoying the glow of the first rays of sunshine on our pale, winter skin, slowly turning apricot.

I love these carefree days - soft sunlight, a gentle breeze, the promise of longer, golden days to come.

Ahh, bientôt, 

bientôt,

Soon we will go to the sea...

Getting it Together

I am,

getting it together.

Suddenly, un déclic,

things are starting

to fall into place...

I have decided to step back a bit this year,

take my time,

 have a good long think about me, my life, online and off.

It's an age thing, I guess.

But I have plans,

a new direction,

an inspiring project,

un nouveau corde à mon arc.

One day,

when the time is right,

I'll tell you more...

I hope you enjoy this week's moodboard.

I always seem to be drawn to the same, neutral palette

Because it's me!

Moodboard - Paint it Black

Back to basics.

Back to neutral, natural,

raw

and black.

Ebony, ink,

charcoal,

En filigrane,

Smudged gras, matt.

There's an air of melancholy here today,

No sun. No spring.

Just rain.

For once...
