Home Proud: Get cozy

Who doesn't dream of having a little piece of India, Zanzibar, Egypt, Turkey or Thailand in their home? When I visited those places (and more than once for a reason!) one of the things I always remember are the cozy shisha cafes, big bean bags on the beaches and comfy restaurants that make you feel like you could stay there all night.

I would love to one day transform a room or a balcony into a sanctuary that reminds me of these places and the fun times, so I have a collection of inspirational images to help me get there one day! We already have a tall shisha pipe and big Egyptian rugs...now where to put them...

Home Proud: Creative walls

Since I moved in with my boyfriend last year, I've been decorating (well, maybe more re-decorating) the entire place. I've always wanted to have a home of my own and be able to put all the shabby chic things that I find into it.

Our latest project was our master bedroom wall. We wanted to keep it simple but creative so we have been collecting vintage and new frames to mix up and hang on the wall. Due to hectic work schedules and lazy weekends, this still isn't completed but I thought I would share some inspirational images and a great book...
