Interiors Roundup / / Paper Cuts

I am so excited to be sharing gorgeous interiors with you. As Rachael Taylor’s Interiors roundup editor, I will be posting every Thursday afternoon with my weekly update of all things Interiors. This week, I have some fabulous paper cuts from Loula Belle at Home to share with you.

I am always on the lookout for interesting pieces of art for my walls, there's a huge range of prints out there, but I love searching for the unusual, new and creative. I have recently come across the work of Loula Belle at Home, and would certainly love to have one of her amazing intricate pieces hanging on me wall! Take a look at my favourites below for the home, and please, please show some support over on Loula's Facebook page here.

Enjoy the rest of your day, Emily x

Happy Halloween / / Pumpkin Patch

Happy Halloween everyone! I'm back from my USA work trip with a camera crammed full of inspirational goodness, there are so many fun photos to edit & share with you... but for now here are a few Halloween & Autumnal images from my visit to a Pumpkin Patch in the sunny county of Baltimore.

I had so much fun & was lucky enough to have to the talented Rebecca Bradley show me the sights!

Artist Review / / Annie O'Brien Gonzales

I am thrilled to be able to share some inspirational art and design with you every Tuesday morning as Rachael's 'Art and Creative Writer'. This week, I'm featuring the floral paintings of Annie O'Brien Gonzales.

Annie studied painting and art history at Oregon State University before settling in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She uses oil, acrylic, and mixed media to create expressive spontaneous images inspired by nature.

Annie offers painting workshops in her hometown and you can find out more about her events and forthcoming exhibitions on her website. Have a lovely week, Justine x

Interiors Roundup / / The Rug Company

I am so excited to be sharing gorgeous interiors with you. As Rachael Taylor’s Interiors roundup editor, I will be posting every Thursday afternoon with my weekly update of all things Interiors. This week, I have a lovely selection of rugs from The Rug Company.

It's really quite amazing what a rug can do to transform a room, adding warmth, texture, colour, tone and personality. The Rug Company have a absolutely stunning range of hand knotted rugs in their collection, just see for yourself! I've chosen my favourites to show you, but you can view the full collection on their website here. Enjoy the rest of your day! Emily x

Beauty Breakdown / / Bath and Body Works

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). 

Ok… I don't know about you, but I'm a huge clean-hands freak. It bothers me not to be able to wash them whenever I want when out and about so I can't leave my house with a pocket sanitizer. There are many out there, but some of my favourite (for their fragrances and cute labels) are those sold by Bath and Body Works. Here are some of my favourites:

I also love the cute and quirky holders they sell. They the ideal way to make a cleaning product fashionable. Wouldn't you like carrying your sanitizer in one of these?

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read. See you next week with more inspiring designs. Have a great day, MaJo.
