Recreate

There is something so exciting about taking an everyday object (like a milk bottle... or even a car mirror) and using it in a new and wonderful way.

These are a few of our favourites...

The Teacup Lamp from Recreate

Glass decanters used as beautiful light fittings

Doilies sewn/tacked together and made into a table runner. Check out the DIY tutorial here

(On a side note: Ashley Ann is amazing... DIY wonder woman, photographer, home maker, proud mom and wife, doting sister, good Samaritan, design diva... the list goes on... you HAVE to check out her blog)

Milk Bottle Lamps from Recreate

How fantastically beautiful is this suitcase chair from Recreate?

Another fantastic item by Katie Thompson of Recreate

We think this suitcase side table is chic AND genius!

(Another side note: You may have noticed that the majority of pictures included here are from Recreate. That is because Katie Thompson is a creative genius and every one of her products is stylish, lovely and timeless. Visit her site and browse through her cutting edge interior design range of lighting and furniture)

We love, love, love this. Using a vintage car mirror as a make-up mirror. Gorgeous.

Crate side table. Rustic and beautiful :)

We can't wait to spend a day (or four) browsing antique stores for bits and pieces to start (re)creating our own little treasures. Watch this space!

What do you mean it is Monday again?

We can't believe it is Monday again. What happened to the lazy weekend we were dreaming about all week long? Sighs. One day down and we are already exhausted- but before we get all comfy and snuggled in bed... a few pictures to start the week off...

We want one... or four! How fantastic is this Herman Miller Nelson Coconut Chair?

And this Herman Miller/Eames Rocker. Perfect for any nursery (or a special reading corner)

(More Herman Miller Modern Classics available here)

Oh... I do hope so! (Love this!)

How gorgeous is this basket bag?
