Interiors roundup: Eijffinger Wall Art

I am so excited to be sharing gorgeous interiors with you. As Rachael Taylor’s new Interiors roundup editor, I will be posting every Thursday afternoon with my weekly update of all things Interiors. This week, we have the amazing wall art from Eijffinger.

I have been asked a few times recently to source wall art for both office and home, and this is what I’ve found! I fell in love straight away. These photo realistic pieces of wall art are simply beautiful and would bring the outside in to any room (even the small ones!) making them brighten up any room you may choose! You can find more inspiration on their website at www.eijffinger.com and contact them from there to find your nearest stockist! Enjoy the rest of your day, Emily x

Beauty Breakdown: Cute Little Creatures

Good morning creative people!

Welcome to a Beauty morning with me, MaJo :) Every Thursday I'll delight you with gorgeously packed beauty products (and every now and then, I'll even throw you a beauty secret).

Today I'll show you the cutest packaging I've posted so far. It's a baby product line by Spanish brand Babé Laboratorios. The packaging was created by the Spanish design studio Lavernia Cienfuegos with illustrations specially made for the line by Juan Antón. It is simple but at the same time very appealing with four little lovely characters that will for sure make many children ask their parents to get them for them. Each creature identifies a sub-range of the line (hygiene, moisturising, sunscreen and perfume)   and together show the playfulness and whimsicality any children's product should have. Please enjoy the adorable series below :)

Interiors roundup: Up-cycled furniture

I am so excited to be sharing gorgeous interiors with you. As Rachael Taylor’s new Interiors roundup editor, I will be posting every Thursday afternoon with my weekly update of all things Interiors. This week, we have a pretty little range of upcycled furniture.

Just to give you a little background to this post, I have recently moved house, and I’ve been completely obsessed with buying second hand furniture and up-cycling it with Annie Sloan’s chalk paint, to give it a new lease of life. I want to share with you today, a couple of companies that I follow on Facebook, because I absolutely adore the work that they are doing, and I hope you will too! Enjoy the rest of your day, Emily x
