COLOUR LOVE - Turquoise & Yellow - Part 2

Here I go again.  It's become apparent that I cannot stay away from these colours.  Yes, they still keep me awake at night (just when the baby has been sleeping well too!) which means it is officially a full-blown colour obsession.  There's something about the calming cool of turquoise and the happy 'instant cheer' of yellow that go so well together.  It is indeed a cheerful combination.  I like cheerful.  Mixed cleverly with whites, greys and neutrals these colours sing - a gentle lullaby or a vibrant summer party mix.  Cool and happy.  Break out of the winter doldrums I say!

You know when you've been looking at something for so long that when you go to bed and close your eyes it's all you can see under your eyelids?  That used to happen to me when I would spend my late nights playing online word games (geek I know but had to beat those high scores!).  Now when I close my eyes at night I get flashes of: yellow door. teal wall. yellow stripes. teal stripes. yellow flowers. teal shelves. rugs. curtains. yellow. teal. turquoise. yellow. white. grey. sofa. wallpaper. teal. turquoise. shot of orange. stripes. teal. PLEASE CAN I GO TO SLEEP ALREADY?!

That's when I know I've become obsessed with something.  No matter how hard I try to think about other things (chocolate, babies, the colour red) I cannot get rid of it.
Anyway, I hope my home and current big project 'My kind of home' starts to come together with hints of this style and colour soon! Enjoy x

A 1940s Vintage Love Affair

I couldn't go past this beautiful 1940s vintage inspired photo shoot all the way from Lina at A Stunning Affair in Los Angeles!  I first saw this shoot featured on Hostess with the Mostess and I was thrilled when the lovely Lina herself was flattered that I wanted to feature it here.  I'm sure you will agree with me - it is just stunning, and I LOVE all the pretty details.  From the wood type blocks, to the pale blue enamel pitcher.  This is a wedding shoot, but my goodness, I can see this kind of setting created for any number of occasions - garden tea party, baby shower, engagement party, 40th Birthday....any excuse really to recreate this style!  

Are you loving the vintage typewriter, calligraphy, woodcut type & vintage camera like I am?!!!

Preserving jars & vintage lace.  A bit of rustic, whimsy and elegance - works perfectly

Look at the pretty table setting!  Love that old ten pin!

"Sweet love"

I LOVE the old enamel pitcher, actually I love everything about this 'soda station'

Incredible detailing on this cake!

Hanging jars with bunches of loose flowers is super dooper pretty

Gorgeousness in a drawer

Who loved this as much as I did?!  To be honest, I was drooling a little.  I hope someone wants me to create something like this for them oneday. Come on, I know you're out there somewhere.  Surely there's a good reason to put on a party like this!  Call me!
