Mood boards!

I’ve figured out how to post pdf’s to my blog (yay!!) so I can now share my mood boards with you!

Today’s focus is Dulux Labradore Blue.

I’ve had loads of enquiries about this colour since my townhouse master bedroom was featured in Home Beautiful last year.  It’s beautifully flexible and can be the base for lots of different looks.   Don’t despair if you fall in love with any of the designs… all my mood boards and their “how to and where to” details will be available from the homewares store soon.

Enjoy!!

The fabulous Abby… Gorgeously pretty with a fresh and relaxed feel.  Don’t forget to scroll down or you’ll miss the suitcases!

Noah…has an eclectic mix of amazing pieces… from the striking vintage poster to the fab ceramic horse lamp.  Fundamentally and unapologetically male…  (scroll down!)

Sam…the perfect merge of male and female.  Sexy velvet curtains, a four poster bed and a cool and quirky galleria. (scroll down..)

And Katie.  Fearless, fun and individual.  The stunning peacock rug starts the action, teamed with a bright yellow iron bed and a retro orange lockers. Scroll down for a full view of the peacock rug .

Let me know your favorites!

Sorry everyone!  My Dad is very sick and I haven’t been able to post at all for a couple of weeks.  All this has brought about a need for change… and from now on I’ll be posting on my Facebook page.  It’s a far easier format for me to use and more user friendly for you as well.

We already have loads of great tips, links to amazing websites and products … and a fab range of albums full of images to drool over and be inspired by!

For those of you not following me on Facebook already, the page is of course, I want I want I want, and the link is http://www.facebook.com/#!/iwantiwantiwant

Don’t forget to “like” me so you get my updates automatically … much easier than checking each day (in case I’m ever as slack as this again…which I promise I won’t be!).  Also, this helps me build an audience far more quickly than I can via a blog…so it really helps me if you do.

For those of you not on FB … give it a shot!  You’re missing out on a stream of amazing information from fab designers and stylists all over the world.

All the exisitng posts will stay on this site for your reference and I’ll also update it regularly with new products.   And you can also find me on the fabulous pinterest with loads of amazing images.  http://pinterest.com/iwantiwantiwant/

Thanks and see you on Facebook!

Sorry for the lack of posts this last couple of weeks!   Thanks for your comments and I will post again soon.  I’ve had some issues keeping me on the move and away from my computer… but I should be a bit more sorted with it all next week and I’ll post again then I promise!  x

Jane Lamerton

Wandering through Myers today I cam across the latest Jane Lamerton bedlinen design, Indigo.   And I’m loving it…

The duvet set is only $219.95 for a King size cover and two pillow cases which for a lovely design like this is pretty reasonable.    But it’s the gorgeous Suzani style euros ( $39.95 each) that make the look.

Suzani designs are hot right now… but generally with loads of colour in sweet, kind of naieve palettes.   Typically Jane takes the look and refines it by using a monochromatic palette, and the result is really elegant.

If you want to keep the simple and elegant look, this is great… as it makes a fab statement on its own.  But it will also play amazingly with loads of other colours and patterns if it’s an eclectic look you’re after.

Decorative tiles

Image from www.designsponge.com

For those contemplating a bathroom or kitchen update…have a think about decorative tiles.  White is handy…but boring.    Find tiles that you love…and make the space yours, not anyone’s.  Don’t be scared about “matching”…matching is probably the worst thing you could do for any room.  Instead surround yourself with pieces and designs that you love…and it will always look amazing.

And these!

If you’re too nervous to commit to a full pattern then consider sweet cameos.  Just a couple of hand painted tiles like the gorgeous Marie Antoinette tile above or the sweet floral ones below will add so much to an all white or all neutral wet area.
