I am extending my love affair with the Modern Safari/Bohemian look. 

I know quite a few of you have the same style love so I thought I would share some of my finds. 

All these items will help you and me (don't tell my Hubby I am hoping to shop this look) to achieve a look like the one above in our own homes. Get your coffee credit cards ready Lovelies its relaxing shopping time.

Zelda Dotty from Cate Legnoverde

These prints are Gorgeous with the bright colours and gorgeous subjects.

Cate Legnoverde coordinates Prints/Canvasses and Cushions and they start at just $80 for a 30cm x 45cm.

Gorgeous colour right! Well this will add modern safari right on your walls.

Kantha Quilts from The Family Love Tree

I don't think any bohemian eclectic or vintage look can be finished without a Kantha quilt and at the moment you wont find better than at The Family Love Tree.

Have you visited them yet? If you haven't and you love a little hint of colour and a worldly appeal you will find something to be still your heart over here.

The Family Love Tree Slouch Couch

Another amazing piece from The Family Love Tree

They are available in Black, Blue, Natural and White. Stunning and perfect as your centre piece.

The Mexican Otomi from Mint Green

You may not be ready to add alot of coloured pieces around your room but if you just want to start with one thing, this Mexican wall art could be all you need. Consider it dipping your toe in Bohemian waters.

Head over to Mint Green and you will be able to view this and many other gorgeous pieces at your finger tips.

The Elephant Coat Hook

Thanks to Eco Chic this ever so gorgeous and Eco friendly Ceramic Elephant Coat hook is 20cmw x 10cmd x 22cmh is now available to add to your home.

It will add a splash of colour and charm to your Coats and Towels. 

For me personally I think I will need to pop these in my new ensuite instead of one of those "standard" regular coat racks. Its too cute not to have it wherever you can. Love this! But then I love everything Elephant related.

The Samara Egg Table and Boca Stool

Perfect as the Feature Table in your living room these gorgeous items are a talking piece at every level.

They are 100% handcrafted from inlaid twigs and rattan and then finished with polish resin. 

Even better is that they adhere to Fair Trade principles and have minimal impact on the environment.

My favourite part of this table is you can actually poor water into this piece and float candles or flowers, nice little hidden extra.

You can find out where you can get a piece of this stunning range from the Nicoya Furniture Website

Have I helped you find pieces to add to your new Bohemian Safari Look? I hope so and guess what all these gorgeous items are from Online stores here in Australia. Bonus!

Crochet Decor, Thursday DIY

Have you been seeing crochet around a little more often and wondering how to incorporate it into your design style.

I think you can pick a space in your home that it can be injected into without impacting your overall style. Kids rooms, exterior spaces, sitting areas, toilets.

That's my take if your style wont accept crochet easily.

Next is to decide how to use it, blanket, pot plant holder, wall hanging or amazingly beautiful pendant lights.

You may even want to try this yourself.

This Blogger from Norway has a little photo editorial but you may be a crochet genius and not need it.

Then something like this could be in your house very soon.

Could you do it? Add some crochet somewhere.

When a Light is as Beautiful as your Jewellery.

These LED Bubble Pendant Lights created by Steve Jones for Innermost are so amazing I believe everyone should know about them. Cleverly designed with your favourite drop earrings in mind they come in the perfect colour tone of Black, Silver, White and Copper.
What do you think?

The Modern Bohemian

If you are anything like me, your design styling can be a little eclectic and what I call slightly Gemini. Gemini, because that's my star sign and I know full well about my split personality (wait who said that)......

Seriously, Yes I have a love of many different design styles and can sometimes do my own head in deciding on what decor I am going to settle on purchasing. 

You could label me but I would only stick with your label for a day or even an hour so it wouldn't be worth it. I have found however over time I do keep calling myself contemporary. 

Then a little bit eclectic and I love a good bit of traveller.........

Not the Traveller who has been anywhere but the traveller who appreciates different cultures and the design that they have to support their surroundings.

Asian, Moroccan, American, African. If I could label myself this week it would be somewhere in the Contemporary Relaxed Traveller or maybe just......

The Modern Bohemian will suit for right now.

This week I might take you on a Bohemian design journey.

PVC Pipe Decor

Here

We are all happy to try our hand at certain DIY activities and most of us at some stage have considered painting furniture or something created with pallets and even more of us have tried something with Maison jars. 

For me the next diy trial will be with PVC pipe? You know that long white plastic pipe you see on the top of a classic tradies car.

here

I had used it for my sons birthday party as one of his games (passing Lego from one friend to another and getting it in the cup) too much fun for a 5 year old but Mummy needs something to do with said left over pipe and of course I turned my hand to Pinterest to find out what.

Here is what I found.

So what do you think, could you come up with a project that included PVC pipe.
