I confess , I am totally a novice when it comes to sewing. I love browsing home furnishing stores and textiles for inspiration to bring new life to my living spaces.
Recently I was invited to attend The IKEA 2013 Catalogue and Living with Textiles launch.It showcased an inspiring introduction into the creative and limitless world of Textiles. A highly covetable , collection of stylish home furnishings and textiles at very affordable prices.
Plus a host of neat ideas for even the least crafty among us ...like me ! (and I was pleased you can do many without a sewing machine* ) I was amazed how 'seamlessly' IKEA has transformed simple Textiles into unique, personalised and statement pieces.
I especially loved the Children's extraordinary havens of play ...when they are not supposed to be sleeping ! The Children's range of textiles is awesome.

I love the TIDNY Colour in fabric ! We have a bolt of it ready to colour once I get new textas. |
paint, scissors, glue and an open mind to transform their spaces into extraordinary havens of play!
Or then again DIY - all by yourself.

We have these little $5 stools, I bought a while back - now I can't wait to play textiles with them.

My style is a little embarassing. I am a little obsessed with colours and how they match. For example, when my daughter was smaller only pastel colours made it into her bedroom and primary colours in the family room where her toys were. I don't match pegs to my clothes when hanging them on the line but my family and friends joke about 'my style' all the time. Not sure what it is, I loved colouring in as a child, became a makeup artist so there is a part of me that is colour conscious I guess. It makes it very hard to decorate a home though given my affliction, lol.
PS I have a giveaway of Beauty Products worth $155 plus NESCAFE Limited Edition coffee if you are interested.

I'm now renting and now daughters rom needs a little makeover. Where once she looked onto agar den, now it's a telephone pole ... It's not that bad though, we are a minute to a delightful sea pool ... And so I draw on the sea, and nature, and colours of the dawn for our inspiration in style, that accompanied by a little art decor which is reminiscent of my former years ... The combination isnshaabynchic, although often, when were rushing about for school and work, it's just shabby :-)

Its hard for us to have a sense of style at the moment, all we really have is our bedroom - im not complaining, but i will say that i am SO excited for the coming year to buy our house and get stuck into it again x

Of course, the biggest makeovers need to happen in our two bomb sites - my study and my storage area downstairs. I've mastered the dump and run, now I need to master the 'organise and look pretty' before my son gets old enough to know his mother is a slob!

My whole house could do with some serious styling! I would love to revamp my bedroom as even though I don't get to spend much time in there ( quite a bit of bed sharing with the kids) I can hope for a full nights sleep one day soon!

We need to refurbish our lounge room with new couches. I like warm deep colours and like a bit of the rustic style. Hopefully we're going to find something from Ikea that suits our style.
