It may be miserable out there this morning, but as I’m always the optimist I just know the warm weather almost upon us!!
So in preparation for this long hot summer we’re going to have 😛 now is the time to prepare your home for those long days of indoor/outdoor living.
Accent or feature walls are a great way to inject interest and boost life into a design scheme. They’re a great way to add colour and vitality to a space without it being overpowering.
I spotted this image on We Blog Design and I just had to share it with you. The image is from Swedish photographer and retouch artist Erik Johansson. It’s called Go Your Own Road which I think could be a good mantra to all the Leaving Cert students who received their exam results during the week. I hope you find your own road 🙂
Schools out and lots of you are preparing for your kids to make that transition from junior school up to senior school. Not only do you get to spend your summer months shopping for new uniforms and school books, but chances are now that your “baby” is all grown up, what suited their bedroom in June will most certainly not fit the bill come September!!
Last week the weather here was fabulous. Glorious sunshine, high temperatures and not a cloud in the sky. But this is Ireland! So after 4 days sunshine, rain must follow! It’s often the case in this country that we only get to look out at summer, so we should at least have somewhere nice to sit and let the outside in.
Gallery walls are a great statement feature as unlike photographs hanging randomly on the wall, they encourage the passer by to stop, look and ……. remember! They’re also a great way to bring your own individuality and personality to your home. I mean, you’re not going to find photo’s of your brood on the shelves of Ikea now are you!!
