Lovely shades of {grey}

Lately I've been drawn to all things grey; it is getting rather cool in Sydney and taking a jacket out is now essential. I do love the cooler months so a touch of grey doesn't bother me in the slightest...

Hope you're having a fabulous Wednesday my dears!

Colour love {yellow & grey}

Lately I have been loving the striking colour combination of yellow and grey. Such an unlikely mix, but they work perfectly with each other.

The addition of yellow is so refreshing, don't you think?

A Danish Summer Escape

Whilst dreaming about a warm European Summer (anything to escape the cold which has descended onto Sydney), I came across this delightful Damish summer house which has most definitely lifted my spirits!

The glorious light that fills this home gives such a sense of warmth and the cool grey tones are heavenly and rather soothing.

The kitchen is just a delight - the pop of pink flowers are a lovely touch and I do fancy those industrial lamp shades!

How has your week been lovelies? Only more day till the weekend; 

I can't wait.

To paint or not to paint?

Hello lovely friends!

Well its Sunday night and we have not come even close to having our apartment packed, oops! On a brighter note we have been more productive in planning for what we will be our first project in our new apartment: painting.

For our bedroom I have been inspired by dark grey walls, off-set by a white semi-gloss trim around the window frames, the door and then plain white on the ceiling.

My first inspiration was Cassandra over at Coco & Kelly and her amazing bedroom transformation -

And then I saw this stunning room and was hooked - 

As much as I adore these rooms, I am super nervous about taking a big leap with such a dramatic look; and for me being a painting 'virgin' and all, I have always lived in rental places with white walls. Boring, I know!

So I am putting it out there - have you ever painted a room in dark colours? Were you happy with the result? And more importantly would you do it again?

Love to hear your thoughts!

{Shades of Grey}

What inspired me today? Shades of grey.

It started with the Elle UK 's April cover featuring Chloe Sevigny. I then fell in love with this beautiful bedroom via Emma's Blog, and it seemed to flow from there.... Proof that grey is never a boring choice.

What inspired you today?

I was also reminded that despite the {grey} dreary weather outside, just in time for the weekend, life is still pretty amazing.

Have a lovely weekend!
