Optical illusion of the Ghost chairs

New Year, new start and a new resolution to achieve this year. Mine is to drink more water, as my parched skin is crying out for it, coupled with a brand new beauty regime to keep dry skin at bay.

Another one of my hopes for this year is to revamp my  bedroom. It definitely needs an update. The first area I plan to start with is my office space. Blogging is going to be a huge part of my 2012 so making sure I blog in comfort and style is a must. Ghost chairs has made a huge come back and we are seeing it frequently in home decor, previously quite popular in the 80's, as my mum quite eagerly told me, as does fashion so does interiors and it's making a massive come back. Hopefully you can see my take on it very soon when I feature how I've transferred my room.

Knitted delights and faux fur funk

I've been waiting all year to get my chunky plaited knits and faux fur out for the winter. Over the sofa, bed or worn, there is definitely a place in my heart for them.

Ideal Home show at Christmas

Last week I visited the Ideal Home show at Christmas. Eager to be inspired and enthused to re-create festive décor in my home for Christmas, I was some what disappointed. Maybe I expected too much but to honest it didn’t differ much from an average home expo. However, I must admit there were a few stands that had me believing I was in Lapland and I could the hear sounds of Santa “ho ho ho-ing”, and the strongly spiced Christmas scent had me imagining myself with a glass of mulled wine by the fire.

I think I would definitely go to another Christmas expo, maybe I should do a bit more research on the best day to go. Here is some of what I saw.
