EYE CANDY : UNION JACK MAKEOVER

Im so envious that this dresser doesn't belong to me! I'm loving the imperfect paint strokes and graphic look, as well as those crystal handles. Antique meets graphics; A great Before & After furniture makeover from Design*Sponge. It's going on my DIY to do list!

Posting up some early morning eye candy from the Ninemsn House & Garden site.

A little bit of pretty to get you through Monday morning blues

wish I could see more of that painting hanging on the left

Great La Cravat vintage poster

EYE CANDY : FRIDAY PIECES

I've had these pics in my 'eye candy' folder for a little bit now, so thought today was as good a day as any to share them! The first comes via a post on LiveCreatingYourself...I think this Ikea desk is super cool and would love to have something similar in my workspace. The next is another look to steal from DomestiKatedLife blog...love the look of symmetry, the throw,those stripes and end of bed ottomans...ok I like the whole room :) - and the third is a random desk I spotted as inspiration for my owns makeover - though more of a general inspiration (paint and re-cover chair) than specific (mimic bright yellow).

EYE CANDY : HIGH GLOSS LAUNCHES

The premier issue of lifestyle Magazine - High Gloss, has officially launched and is available online for your viewing pleasure! Here is a selection of some looks that caught my eye...the first two images are from the stylish home of I suwannee author and shopfurbish.com owner Jaime Meares. The next speaks for itself! an amazing place (a little more extravagant than your average pool room) and finally a pic of Californian Tia Zoldan's living room.

Really like the look of those (what I am guessing to be) paper animal silhouettes

Have always wanted a big comfy chair at the end of my bed

EYE CANDY : RUE ISSUE 3

Its that time again - Rue Jan/Feb has hit the virtual news stands and is once again an aspirational treat filled with great spaces and stories from the great people who occupy them! Here are some of my faves to take you to the weekend, head over to Ruemag.com for more. Happy Friday!

Have had this idea on my to do list for a while now, kitchen blackboard with black frame

not a very kid friendly print, or maybe it is... pretty cool

love the spray of patterned light from those lamps

EYE CANDY : CHRISTMAS AT THE TABLE

Only 3 days till Christmas now and I think the spirit has gone walkabout this year. Oh well even if you don't love the season you have to admit it has its pretty points! Heres hoping everyone will get their celebrate on in the next day or so!
