Could this be the most beautiful bedroom in the world, could it beeee, could it beeeee! (to the tune of Prince, in case you didn’t cop the cheesiness straight away.)

Apologies for the cheesy headline…just a lovely selection of interior images from ‘Frank Features‘, via Emma’s designblogg. Both websites are a bit of a feast of inspiration.

I love the retro mustard/green accents in the white bathroom - thieving that for the studio…also the shelves stacked with sundries in the kitchen, and the colours of both the walls and the linen in the bedroom.

I would like both of these bedrooms, thankyouplease.

Some more inspirational images from my studio moodboard. I wish I could credit it them, but I saved them pre-blog. Apologies, and let me know if you know the source. 

From the 1st image - the couch. The 2nd - the image layout. The 3rd - Old doors as shutters. The 4th - polaroid wall. The 5th - the grey paint on brick.

Apologies for the lack of blogging, we are currently ripping our new studio apart, designing websites, brochures, buying furniture and lighting, the list is endless!

I’m heading down a bit of a plywood/wood road with the interiors, here are a few images I’m working from.

Colouring inside the lines is no more. Paint is sloppy and spilled and distressed and clumpy and looks like you did it yourself, which is great news, as I am the world’s most impatient painter. I generally end up with it all over the floor, myself, the furniture, the cups and cutlery, the taps, my toothbrush, my car door handle, my front door handle, the towels, my pillow, everywhere. So I’m welcoming the disorganised application method with open, paint-covered arms.

It’s also particularly suitable for our new apartment, which some of you may remember, we tore asunder when we moved in…On taking the carpets up, we realised the floorboards were destroyed with paint and stain, but it looked kind of brilliant, so we left them as they are… See some of the images > here <

Images found ages ago and source not saved, please do tell me if you know the photographer/original site. 

Some people just get it so ridiculously right, it makes you want to hang your hat up and retire. These images are seriously aspirational for me…aiming to replicate the same kind of feel in our new photography studio in Kilkenny…the last image is exactly how I would like it - signage just so, and industrial salvage all over the place. Oh and a random model strolling about in couture. Perfect!

Images via 1 & 2 via Emmas Blog, 3 via Inspirational Spaces and 4 via A glamorous little side project. Great resource sites.

Simple uses of paper : wall covering or adding to an inspirational wall.

Signage, neon, line drawings, a skull. As you do.

Ah, a glass house. Going to own one of these bad boys some day. On a lake, somewhere hot. That’s the dream anyways.

Things to hang on the wall - 

1. Vintage hangers - try etsy, ebay, store liquidations…

2. Fairy lights in odd little shapes - I have it on good authority that Dunnes and Lidl have the best value fairy lights!

3.  Vintage swimsuits - again ebay, and etsy, or try making your own by dollying up some new sets!

4.  Vintage theatre signage - very difficult to get, but I have found some on etsy and ebay.

5. Wooden hangers as print holders - buy cheap ones from Heatons and paint in different shades of greys and beige!

6. Hand mirrors - buy a selection, old and new. Ikea have a very pretty one in at the moment.
