Wednesday Workspace {vintage inspired}

This vintage workspace, belonging to illustrator Paula Mills inspired me today. I love the creative vibe Paula has created with her collection of gorgeous vintage pieces, accumulated through her travels and years spent living in South Africa + England.


The rest of Paula's home is equally amazing; see the full house tour here. 


Happy Wednesday lovelies!

Handmade, with loads of vintage charm + the giveaway winner!

I spied this lovely house tour over at Apartment Therapy filled to the brim with vintage charm and lovingly decorated by wedding dress designer, Veronica and her husband Keith.

I couldn't help but fall head over heels seeing these fabulous chevron curtains and vintage lamps....Incredible!

Although I'm not normally a fan of dark walls in a kitchen, in this case I think it works well given the streaming light coming through the windows and the white dining room walls flowing into the kitchen. Plus, I love the choice of adding the green + red accent colours.

I love how the subtle touches of black against the soft pink walls + artwork really make the living room pop - the piping on the couch, the vintage lamp and the studded coffee table....

So many lovely handmade touches in the bedroom + mixed with the vintage pieces give this room such a warm and cozy vibe, don't you think?

What are you loving about this home?

Happy Tuesday lovelies,

House Tour {Shabby Chic Meets Vintage Glamour}

It's not often that you see one home incorporating more than one style and pulling each style off flawlessly. So when I found this oh so ah-mazing home in Uruguay I was hooked. 

Let me introduce you to this Shabby-Chic meets Vintage Glamour, with a hint of Country Charm home...

 

Oh that couch! The shape, the fabric, the colour, I love it all.

 And...

How amazing does the chandelier look with those high ceilings?

 

This quaint kitchen has country written all over it. The old-school stove and kettle with the utensils displayed is so charming!

 

Oh the details; a vintage mirror, the chandelier, all bathed in white. Lovely.

Thank you so much for your comments on yesterday's post; so happy you like the new series.

Hope you're having a wonderful week lovelies!

Antique Hunting {Vintage Mannequins}

I am putting the finishing touches on our bedroom right now and one of the things I am looking for to complete the room is a beautiful vintage mannequin to hold jewellery. 

I love the idea of displaying jewellery in an interesting/quirky way and have seen a few ideas, including these two shots, to fuel my inspiration.

I'm thinking an antique-hunting road trip is on the horizon!


Hope you're having a fun-filled week lovelies.

Oh So Lovely {Vintage Wedding}

I saw this simply stunning vintage style wedding over at Green Wedding Shoes and had to share it with you!

Catie & Ben achieved everything on a small budget, which makes this wedding even more amazing as the level of detail in the styling is perfection!

I love the idea of having a photo booth to capture memories from the day; such fun way to entertain guests.

To make savings the bride enlisted the help of friends and family to make these delicious-looking sweet treats:

Oh So Lovely: Vintage Inspiration

I love these vintage interiors; there is an overwhelming sense of comfort and homeliness associated with these shots. Simple things such as candles, flowers, pretty doilies, and cute tea cups can easily add a vintage feel to a space.

How was your Valentine's Day lovelies? I was spoilt rotten; I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful husband.

We went to see Valentines Day, and I must say it was fantastic! Extremely cheesy and romantic, but such delicious fun!
