Garden Tour- Hong Kong Granny’s
I love gardens and like nothing better than spending any spare time visiting gardens –from small courtyards to vast estates. Although quite often it’s the small gardens that give you the most ideas, as inspiration can most easily be translated to fit suburban plots. So, I thought I would share some images of my mum’s verdant and stylish suburban plot for inspiration. I think her garden is a fantastic example of what can be done with a smallish suburban plot, but I’d love to know what you think?
1 Product Styled 3 Ways: Pink Palm Leaf Plate
Pretty pink palm leaf plates to gladden your heart and beautify your home. We love these plates and like to use them in lots of ways around the home and they are a great way to bring a bit of girly pink to your décor. Which if you didn’t know already, is THE colour of the season, daarling. And, as we know you all like to get your money’s worth out of accessories, we have styled them in 3 different ways to show off their versatility.
Now, no prizes for ingenuity here, but of course their obvious use is as a plate. We couldn’t well talk about 3 uses for a plate and not mention it being a somewhat delectable object from which to eat food!
A New Idea- Styling Made Easy
We have some exciting news to announce (and if you follow us on social media you may already have heard) – we just made your life even EASIER! What on earth do I mean?
Well, we’ve always known that the way we style and photograph our products is a big part of what we do and we love helping our customers feel confident styling in their own home. But, we noticed that many of you were buying sets of items according to what other products they had been photographed with on the site. So… *drumroll* we’ve taken out the hard work and introduced a brand new range of styled vignettes!
Which means that we have already collated and styled a collection of items for you and with one click of an ‘Add to Basket’ button you can buy them as a complete set. Which is pretty excellent news for those of you who need a little helping hand and might not be feeling too confident about what to put with what. We think styling is the fun bit, but we’ve had a fair bit of practise and we know it can be confusing when there are so many products out there, and so many different looks you can achieve.
DIY Plant Pots with Fringing
Now that the fab 91 Magazine has gone into print I can finally read and savour it properly. I am a technophobe – so much so I can’t read magazines online, I need a real paper copy, so to finally be able to hold the delicious paper in my hand, and gaze at the fabulous photography, and read about so many talented people its making me gush, sorry! To get back to the point of this blog I do like a bit of simple craft DIY so when I spotted the instructions for jazzing up plant pots in 91 Magazine I had to have a go.
Urban Jungle Bloggers- 1 Plant 3 Stylings
Urban Jungle Bloggers is a monthly series hosted by Igor and Judith to encourage us all to bring a little more green into our lives. Each month they, plus many bloggers worldwide, share ideas to create an urban jungle through styling ideas, DIYs and green tips & tricks and this month the theme is ‘1 plant – 3 stylings’.
I’ve been nurturing this Aeonium Balsamiferum for several years now and despite my haphazard neglect it’s still thriving, and quite my favourite house plant, so had to be the star of this show.
