Colour me happy...

After yesterday's post I went on a search to find some colour to put in the house... and have a look at someway of recreating that amazing coastal beach chic...

Reminder of inspiration...



Loving for the dinning room... Anthropologie Mina Tablecloth



With this great plate Paper Pretender also from Anthropologie...



Intermingled with this great plate for colour and texture.... Sliced Persimmon Dinnerware



Loving these glasses! Fleur-De-Lys Tumbler...



I would then put a succulent on the table for a centrepiece...



Then it really feels like it needs this amazing dish to top it off... My pick would definitely be this Snapper and Fennel Tagine!



So to be honest I feel like it is a mix between boho and folk and beach and middle eastern, but isn't that the best way to decorate? :)

Little green bottle....

I am noticing more and more of these fantastic bottles being used for events. I really love them. I would love to have them as a centerpiece on tables, I can imagine them in all different sizes and shapes with little tags that say... Drink me. Just like Alice in Wonderland, so cute and different!

This image is via Polkadot Bride... I love the idea of having an old fashioned soda bar at an event, and these bottles look delectable and are fantastic colours! I can just imagine if I did this I would create a 'stand' and have my cute little bunting around the top!



This is Amy from Eat Drink Chic's take on it, I love the pastel colours...





Here are the straws she also found from Hungry Girl which fit in so nicely.



This shot is from Green Wedding Shoes, it is a little bar that was set up for a backyard wedding, so cute! I love how American weddings are 'styled' like a fashion shoot... They are really amazing works of art and the detail they go to is incredible.



So cute! Makes me want to host a party just so I can create soda bar of my own. xox

Table success...

How cute are these low budget table centerpiece's made with flowers from Martha Stewart? So many people dismiss flowers that are cheap (as in $5 to $10 a bunch), but look at how sweet they look, plus they are generally available all year round. I love the idea that you can make a bunch of flowers spread further by using bud vases and by using all different types you create a striking table. Though true to my heart my favourite has to be the one with recycled tins...







These images have cheered me up and given me a little summer to this awful cold weather. Hope it does the same for you! xox
