I want it now – mix & match wall

Recently I’ve come across a lot of images that I can’t get enough of. I want it, and I wanted it 5 minutes ago. What better way to start a new blog category than with this little piece of eye candy whose tab I simply can’t bring myself to close on my internet browser. Linkage. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. 

Rock n’ Roll Bride

Two days ago I came across this site {thanks to Always Andri Wedding Design Blog} and I have been oogling it ever since. Rock n’ Roll Bride is full of amazing alternative wedding ideas – especially when the run-of-the-mill wedding sites make you feel abnormal should you not want to conform to every tradition. It’s kind of amazing. 

I’ve made note already for tattoo inspired signage, cross stitched displays, and DIY bouquets so far. Thank you, thank you Kat Williams

A little less conversation, a little more grey

I’m slowly easing my way back into a normal routine now that I’m officially finished college! I have my BA in Interior Design and am happy, and also a little bit proud of myself for sticking with it to the end – four years of studying at night and working full time. And sometimes no sleep in between.
For the first time in what feels like an age, I have time for myself! And my first of many projects going on at the moment – my living room. I had painted two {overdone} focal walls in true marble by Crown Paints – I adore this color, but it’s a touch too dark for my east facing apartment and I’m up for a change. I’m going for a much lighter, calmer grey all over and have been searching for some inspiring images. 
I also would like to point out that grey is not a depressing color. Well, as in the weather we experience here in Ireland, yes it is, but on walls, hell no! Grey makes everything else in the room POP! It’s an amazing backdrop and should be experimented with. I adore seeing more and more grey walls out there. 
Enough typing. Onto the images.
