Closet Space

I am re-organising my walk in closet and these are a few ideas I love.

Diane von Furstenberg

I just found this lovely homeware collection from Diane von Furstenberg via Oprah.

I love the sunny colours. Lovely bright colour palette to brighten up any home.

In the 1970s, Diane von Furstenberg was a plucky young European princess when she made history with a versatile, universally flattering wrap dress—created, as she puts it, for "a woman on the go, who is completely global, of any age, any nationality." This month the designer—long divorced from her prince, though still plucky—brings her signature unfussy sophistication to a new home line, with everything from leopard-patterned bed linens to sunny porcelain teapots.

"Surroundings are very important to me," says Von Furstenberg, a yoga-toned 64. "I travel constantly, but even in a hotel room, I'll drape a scarf over the lamp." She's tucked behind an imposing black Ruhlmann desk on the fifth floor of the teeming New York City studio where she lives and works amid hot pink walls and Warhol portraits of herself. For Von Furstenberg, the home "is a projection of who you are," as important as what you wear and the people you surround yourself with.

Von Furstenberg's own home is inspired by her life: "When I go places"—recent travels include Dubai, Istanbul, Vanuatu, and Tahiti—"I'll pick up a basket or a plate, things I love and that give me pleasure to look at." For her housewares line, she wanted to design "not a matching collection but a language," she says, full of pieces that combine effortlessly with a woman's own finds.

Like her elegant, asymmetrical porcelain dishes: Their shape (Von Furstenberg calls it the "power stone") recalls the striking corrugated glass dome she constructed atop her studio's building to let in light. Available in a range of patterns plundered from her fashion archives, the plates are both more formal and more interesting than the usual everyday set—and the only statement pieces a well-dressed table needs.

Handmade - Halloween Decor

After reading a fave blog of mine Little Light Studio, I thought I would share the challenge they have on offer.

The first project is a Halloween coaster. I started with just a simple 4 inch chipboard coaster, from my scrapbooking stash. I adhered a piece of pattern paper to the top of the coaster, and then painted the edges with black paint. I tied a few pieces of ribbon around the bottom part of the coaster, and then adhered some fun glitter chipboard letters to spell "BOO". I added a "Halloween" sticker to the top corner of the coaster, added a metal clip, and a few fun stick pins to the ribbon to finish it off. Super 
cute, and took no more than 15 minutes to make.

The second project is an altered 8 inch chipboard letter. I choose an "H", to stand for Halloween. I 
traced the chipboard letter onto the back of my pattern paper, and then cut it out with some scissors. 
I adhered it to the "H", and then sanded down the edges. I used some puffy alphabet stickers to spell 
out "Halloween" on the right side of my "H". I adhered a "Trick or Treat" sticker to the left side of 
my "H", and added a metal clip to the side. To finish it off, I tied a piece of black lace ribbon on the 
left side and stuck a few cute stick pins in, and added a few gems to the center of the spider 

webs.


They have a challenge for you.......is to look at your scrapbook supplies and material, and see what 
you can pull together to create your own fun Halloween decorations. Leave a link in their comments 
to your photo and they will pick their favourite to feature on their blog and in their newsletter.

Harper's Nursery

pictures from people.com

   

Tiffani Thiessen daughter's nursery is beautiful. I love the light lavender colour

with the white decor. As eco conscious parents they installed recycled floors 

and used VOC-free paint and used vintage scraps for the 'Harper' name sign.

The stunning collage with the tree and birds just suits beautifully along with

the nursery decor collection from Tiffani's decor collection, Petit Nest,

 to be launched at the end of the year.
