Thanks Anna

I just wanted to thank Anna at Absolutely Beautiful Things for posting on my little Florence Broadhurst footstool. She's very sweet and it's actually through her blog that I discovered the world of design blogs and became completely hooked. Through her I discovered sfgirlbybay, Desire to Inspire, Style Court, Decorno, MyMarrakesh, Mrs Blandings, Habitually Chic and all you other lovely people who I read every day. So, thanks Anna, and thanks everyone else for providing me with enough design information to make my head explode. Thanks also to everyone who've been so nice as to stop by my blog and take the time to comment.

Bali Style

These photos of Cafe Bali, Seminyak, were taken from Absolutely Beautiful Things. They have three of my favourite things - white chairs, mismatched mirrors, and plate-like shapes on a wall. I'd be happier without the tablecloths, but it still has a great, beachy feel.

Boatshed Chic 3

More images of beachy style from Absolutely Beautiful Things.

Boatshed Chic 2

These photos are from Absolutely Beautiful Things, and they are all images which I would love to borrow from as I transform the boatshed. To me they are the essence of boatshed chic - a predominantly white palette, classic pieces - generally second-hand, with bursts of colour such as pink or blue. A romantic, bohemian look.

Boatshed Chic

These two images, once more care of Absolutely Beautiful Things, depict the kind of look I'm hoping to have for the boatshed once the walls are painted white. And I'm pretty sure I'll be able to paint them very soon.

Mismatched China

Another look that I want for the boatshed is to hang mismatched china together on a wall. I have previously included photographs of this look, but here are some more from Absolutely Beautiful Things.

Mirror Image

I saw an art deco mirror yesterday when I was buying my little footstool. I wasn't sure whether to buy it, but now that I've seen these images of mismatched mirrors care of Absolutely Fabulous Things and Casapinka, I will definitely be stopping by to get it on my way home.

More Neutrals

Two more rooms from Marie-Claire via Absolutely Beautiful Things which use neutral tones. While I do like a splash of pink or blue, I can't help being drawn to white, black and grey. On the weekend, I was drooling over Kelly Wearstler's and Gwyneth Paltrow's black kitchens.

Beautiful white floors

These gorgeous rooms come via Anna Spiro's website, Absolutely Beautiful Things. Like her, I love painted white floors.
