Apols for the cop out post today folks, we’re heading down the Mekong Delta early this morning to go check out the floating markets and life on the river, and have run out of time to post yikes. I hope you’ll forgive me though when you see how cool it looks!
Have a fab weekend loves, see you next week!
Err, have you guys seen the latest collection from Z Gallerie?! Holy hell I need somebody to confiscate my credit cards…
Ha no not really, just kidding.
Today is my 30th birthday. 30 whole years on this planet.
You know how when you’re a sprog and you think about how your life will be when you’re ‘old’ at 30 (or was that just me that did that?!) – I always imagined myself married with a house in the country, 5 kids, an aga and small army of doggies, and I find it pretty bloody amusing that our current setup could literally not be more different. Wouldn’t change it for anything though.
Anyhoo I’m not going to commence blathering because I have some sunbathing to get done, but I will say that today I feel so full of gratitude for everybody I have in my life. My wonderful husband, family and friends (bloggy and otherwise!) mean the world to me and I am sending out hugs worldwide from this little corner of Vietnam.
I have convincingly failed in my quest to get my design course finished, home designed and business set up by my 30th birthday, but I am 95% there on all three counts so think I’ll let myself off – it’ll be done by le bloggie’s 3rd birthday fo sho.
Anyway, I’m off to enjoy my day with my man and a hefty dose of sunshine, toodles!
So after setting peepers on that blooming gorgeous fuchsia-tub-plus-flamingo-wallpaper bathroom last week I’m feeling inspired to check out a few more of these cheeky chappies.
Pretty fun, no?
And here’s the lowdown on sourcing options, I know I know I’m too good to you…
Morning loves! Hope everyone had a fab weekend.
We’re looooving Vietnam – Ho Chi Minh City is totally bananas and we’ve just spent a couple of seriously relaxing days in gorgeous beachy Mui Ne. We’re heading up the coast today towards this beaut of a hotel, and holymoly I cannot wait to see it.
Decked out in rustic woods, bamboo, stone and floaty floaty mosquito nets, it is the perfect place to spend my birthday!
So after 31 DC’s I’m starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel in terms of classics that I love (I was going to post about the Womb Chair today but it kinda freaks me out a smidge and also I think it’s uggers), midcentury modern or otherwise.
But today I thought I’d post about one luscious lady that has truly stood the test of time: the claw foot bathtub. First created in the 1800′s from cast iron and lined in porcelain they were luxury items that only veeery few could afford. Happily for us that is no longer the case!
As you can see here, the piece fits really well into seriously trad styling but can also hold its own in a crazy contemporary scheme:
I have a serious soft spot for metallic clawfoots but today I thought I’d just stick to the painted jobbies.
First up, how about some dark moody beauts…?
Yummy brass fixtures on the RHS here, and those floorboards!!
Or are you more of an all-the-colours-of-the-rainbow kinda gal…?
[Side note, can we all please give this FLAMINGO WALLPAPER some lovin'?!]
Floaty drapes and shower curtains get the thumbs up from moi:
And I’m seriously enamoured with these cooler shades of green and blue:
More brass fixtures!! Stop it, it’s too much!
So which would you pick…?
It’s my 30th birthday next week (crumbs, not entirely sure how that happened) and we’re using it as an excuse to travel in south Vietnam for a week to celebrate – will try to keep the posts rolling as normal but please humour any hiccups…
Have a happy weekend y’all, what are you up to??
Morning lovelies and welcome back to part 2!
Yesterday’s post seemed to be pretty divisive – it got lots of love but a few not-likes from peeps re the use of animal products. I have to say I do agree, which is why quite a few of the goodies below are faux horn as opposed to the real deal.
I am literally salivating over the brass-rimmed cups, bangles and cube door hardware, but which is your fave…?
