Making me Happy...

1. I don't own my own home yet, but I am dreaming of when I do post-qualification in a year and a half and as ever, I am inspiration surfing for design and interiors. I tend towards a vintage/art deco/touches of Victoriana style with classic pieces and a cosy feel but I am beginning to be really drawn to a more minimalist style. I don't like extreme white, white, white minimalism but in the right airy property, I am swayed by a clean colour palate. I came across this house on FlickR:








and I really love the classic pieces with a sparse style and light, light, light. Gorgeous.

2. This is Naive's 'People at Work' post on the super talented Nadinoo. Beautiful clothes, and beautifully captured.

3. I stumbled on this site by accident but I am coveting so, so much.
