rules of inspiration

The beauty about "inspiration" is that

it comes with no strings attached

And rules? None

This 

is 

what 

is 

inspirational 

to

 me

~

I often get inspired by the simplicity

of everyday objects

and

nature, pretty colours, kind words.

How about you?

What do you find inspirational in your world?

Here's what's caught my eye this week so far:

~ owls ~

design sponge

~ unusual colour combos ~

there's nothing more personal than your very own colour scheme

dare to be different...

design traveller

~ handwriting ~

beautiful, irregular, big or small...love it all

live-inspired.com

~ the colour purple ~
used in unexpected places

pinterest

~ modern wisdom ~
wise words by everyday heroes and legends of the world

table tonic

Simply beautiful :)

Have a fantastic + inspirational day

Sacrum or profanum?

What happens to the "soul of the place" when a conversion takes place?
And what happens when the sacred becomes profane?
The amazing (church) conversions below (and the idea for this post) were found at "design traveller" (one of my favourite blogs). Check it out here (you won't be disappointed, I promise)

white rabbit restaurant and bar, singapore

500 years old building in Barcelona

Converted church building in Cape Town 

Have a fantastic day :)

Tuesday obsession

Hi everyone! Thanks for all your comments over the past few days, I feel much better today :))

I'm reading this month's issue of Inside out magazine, it's packed
with gorgeousness as usual...So I'm in a bit of a dream mode at he moment and would like to share 

some of my favourites...
Enjoy!

~ The aussie beauty ~

Chelsea De Luca is a fine jewellery designer, I love her style...and her home is gorgeous!

~ A natural vision ~

If you are like me and you love organic materials and soft palettes you will love
 this Melbourne terrace, it's packed with beautiful features...

~ The overseas dream ~

This former mechanic's garage in Milano was transformed by brazilian born architect 

Ricardo Bella Dias...

it's now a stunning home...sigh!

Don't forget to take extra care of yourselves, it's winter time down-under and our bodies need
more
~ Healthy stuff ~

than usual!

So let's start squeezing those oranges, lemons and grapefruits and
create yummy fruity drinks packed full of vitamins  

- we are going to need them to get through the next six weeks or so -
or
(if time is not on your side)
just grab a boost...yum!

Wish you all a happy + healthy week :))
