mercury lounge


During my lurkings a few weeks back, I came across this photo of a bathroom in Apartamento magazine on Neon Relish's tumblr and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since! I'm obsessed! I don't think I've ever been as drawn to a room image as much as I have with this one. It just speaks to me.

For some reason, I'm literally jazzing up every room in my house. If it has some sort of vague nod to the jazz age and it sparkles, then I want it! Maybe it's because its nearly Christmas and there is a vast array of mercury glass available.

Yeah. That's probably it, actually. See?


I bought these little guys in hearts for the bathroom and stars for the bedroom. I think they'll make sweet little clusters hung from silky ribbons.

I went on a mad internet search for beaded curtains and found the mother load! I've had the same grass print shower curtain for seven years. I still love it, but I'm thinking of replacing it with a frosted liner and a beaded curtain!


I dug out my old medicine cabinets to use for displaying plants and candles. Remember when hospital-chic was de rigueur? I want to bring it back, but with more of a dirty/creepy victorian vibe.

I'm going to add even more plants to the collection. I'd love to instal some narrow glass shelves in the window to house a wee conservatory of plant specimens, but I'm not sure that'd be kosher with the building manager, so I'll just have to make due with these little medical crosses for now. I'm going to start buying up every old, dirty bit of mirror and mercury glass thingamabob that I can find to fill out the space.

Just what I need. Another collection!

ps- thanks for being super sweet and encouraging guys.

natural inclination

I'm planning an art supply trip to Ikea soon, so I thought I'd check to see if a few other things I need are in stock at the nearest location. Then I got to browsing what's new, and the rest is... well, a blog post!

I love this year's additions to the Ikea PS line! I have the PS eden dining table, and the ekekull stool from a few years back, and I'd love to add these to my collection. I love that mix of organic, raw wood and modern-classic design. Now, if only I had the room...

Let's take a moment to revel in the awesomeness that is the annamoa fabric collection!




All of these prints are so amazing! They look like story book illustrations, in all the best colours! I can't wait to see them in the store. I find that sometimes the ikea fabrics are a bit too overscale for my liking, so I'm interested to see how these translate in real life. I hope that they're juuuuust right.

eight days a week


Monday's Child by Ray Caesar

Monday's child is fair of face
Tuesday's child is full of grace
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day
Is bonny and blithe and good and gay

Monday's child is a personal style icon. Be they fictional or real-life, flesh and blood, they have inspired me and my own personal style.

Tuesday's child is the hostess with the mostess! I'll be sharing my own favourites from inspiring interiors and new design that catches my fancy.

Wednesday's child is nostalgic. I'll be giving little sneak peeks into ephemera and whatnot that I find inspiring.

Thursday's child is just trying to get stuff done! If I'm working on something, I'll show you! Unless I'm being a lazy bum... in that case I might just show you what's been distracting me!

Friday's child loves what you're doing! I'm quite the lurker... if you've posted something awesome I'm gonna pass it on!

Saturday's child is basically a shopaholic. I'm going to show you how I wasted my money over the course of the week!

Sunday's child takes time to enjoy the little things in life, like candy and sparkles and little furry animals. I'm going to make you puke marshmallow hearts!

Here's where the "eight days a week" comes in. I'll be posting daily outfits whenever the fancy strikes! You may even get two posts in one day! Unheard of!
