Get your lounge on

I saw these today and couldn’t leave without them. A new line of pyjamas ‘Love to Lounge’ from Penneys {aka Primark} immediately reminded me of a cross between Northern Getaway {which I’m sad to learn they closed in 2007} and the Mariposa Market. 
Yes, these are pyjamas for Christmas. Yes, I bought them in August. But when you’ve been away from Canada as long as I have, you don’t need an excuse for buying anything that reminds you of home. They are epic, and I can’t wait to get my lounge on in them. €7 each. It’s on.

I want it now – milk crate table

            

Something I’ve wanted for a long time is milk crate storage. I really enjoy strong juxtapositions in design, and this is a perfect example. Placed against clean walls and carefully placed items, I really love seeing {what some people would consider} grungy items placed with just as much care and consideration.
Thanks to Design Sponge for this image from Shaun Moore and Todd Caldwell’s home in Toronto, Canada. There are aspects of this house I wouldn’t mind Ctrl+C-ing directly into my own home.

Lovely mention – Canadian House & Home

My official real-world blog acknowledgment has come in from the lovely Canadian House & Home. I only discovered my lovely little mention yesterday – to the horror of my coworkers – during working hours. I had a giggle fest at my desk and have been on a little cloud since. A big thank you to Seema and everyone at House & Home for considering my cross stitching / needlepoint and painting posts under their Inexpensive ways to get a chic home section. So excited and flattered.
