So I was actually out...

..."shopping" the internet for inspiration for my two new project - an art/photo wall and a new headboard for our bed. I came across so many inspirational pics I thought I'd be generous and share them with you :-)

Love the mix of just about everything...a memorabilia wall with all your favorite things, makes it personal and homey. Image from the blog Absolutely Beautiful things.

From my all time favorite blog in the whole wide world - Absolutely Beautiful things. And YES! absolutely everything she posts on her blog is fabulous and I'd buy a ticket to Brisbane to visit her shop Black & Spiro and I'd probably never leave unless I can bring everything in the shop with me! This bedroom was done by Anna herself (blogger and owner) and I LOVE it! It's right up my alley with all the wonderful colors and the many decorative pillows on the bed (of course....you can NEVER have enough pillows!) and to top it off she has a wonderful Suzani at the end of the bed...ahhh...Love it or die! Check out the two vintage Suzani's that I have in the shop (under "Selected by pilLove"). Enough said about this picture, lets move on....

A hotel suite anyone? Now I really like this room but it would never work for me as has too much of a hotel vibe and let's be honest who in their right mind has a bed where the sheets don't have one single wrinkles on them and where every little thing is in its place? Who doesn't have any clothes lying around or anything else that migh show that there are actual people living in the house/apartment, and not Barbi and Kent. But like I said, I like the room, it's just not realistic! So it's not an option...moving along....

Now this is neither a wall or a headbord but it was just so cool I had to include it! This sofa is super nice with it's clean lines, and it's a perfect mix of the black and white striped cushions and the decorative pillows with graphic prints...it's fab...really....buuut I don't do graphic prints it's just not me...

Super cute! Love the vintage patchwork quilt (wish I had one!) and the headboard with Love is just adorable!
To sweet for our bedroom though...

Love a noteboard/mood board that is jam packed like this. It's great (cheap) art for your walls and really expresses you as a person.

Another great room from Anna at Black & Spiro! Great mix of decorative pillows, love the paintings!

Super cool alternative headboard, would be über nice in a teenage boy room, well I'd love it in our bedroom as well buut not this time. By the way, where would I ever find all the letters? It would take forever and days spent roaming flee markets, and for the record, we don't even have cool ones where you would find anything remotely as cool as these letters! So nope won't happen...

Another great pic stolen from Black & Spiro, love everything in this picture. The green color on the walls (why paint white when you can stare into this green wall everynight?!) The poster...me want!...the chair, expecially the cushions, the über chic lamp in turquoise, the orange trash bin (love the wild combo of colors!! L-O-V-E IT! and to to finish the perfect setting - two beautiful bouquets, ahhh I'm in heaven!

So as you can see there has been no decision made on the headboard and as for the art/photo/memorabilia wall...I'm slowely getting there. I'm doing some photo editing in PS at the moment and I have to buy some new frames and well the headboard will have to wait a couple of days....or weeks ;-)

Love,
