Have you discovered my steal the look series yet?  In this series I share really cool, unusual and clever decor ideas that are easy to steal and re-create in your own home.  The last one I shared was a useful and really clever Ikea hack.  Today it’s about thinking outside the box with your lighting.

multi hanging pendant lights

How cool are these pendant lights?  A cluster of different light shades hanging from the ceiling with different coloured cords. How original is that?  Cluster pendent lights are a big trend at the moment but usually you see 3 or 4 of exactly the same light.  Not only does this idea use different (yet complementary) shades but they take it a step further with the colourful cords.  Such a playful and fun idea for a kids room. Even if you played with just two colours, it would be very eye-catching.

how to decorate with fairy lights bedroom

Fairy lights aren’t just for Christmas.  They add a little touch of magic and fantasy in any room, especially a kids room.

"fun wooden home decor"Last week I was at my favourite magazine shop* in London which stocks magazines from across the globe and also has very limited edition ones that are hard to find.  Seriously, the choice they offer is staggering and this place definitely qualifies as a magazine lovers paradise.  So naturally while I was there I indulged in a few magazines – some that I hadn’t read before and some old favourites like Milk.  While flicking through Milk yesterday a cute puppy like object caught my eye and I had a better look.  I discovered Pana Objects started by a group of friends who wanted to add a little fun and beauty to everyday things.  Based in Thailand, their sweet little objects are all crafted from wood and designed with love.  I adore those little Apple charger caps… what a cute idea!  And those coat hooks are simple and stylish for any space while that puppy dog lamp is perfect for a kids room.  Sweet!

*In case you’re interested, I don’t know the name of the magazine shop but you’ll find it at 66 Charlotte St.

Pretty pink things…

"pink tutu,cloud cushion"

Pink seems to be the colour of the moment in this house.  My daughter is beyond obsessed with the colour and yesterday even asked if she could have ‘pink teeth’!  While I’m not a blue for boy/pink for girl type of mama, I have no objection to pink in moderation… just like any other colour.  When there are so many wonderful colours to choose from why restrict yourself to just one or two.  But since we’re thinking pink these days, I went in search of some pretty pink things and here’s what I found:

1.  Love this origami pendant light which comes with a choice of pretty pastel coloured cables so you can mix and match …  2.  This is one of the most gorgeous tutu’s I’ve seen in a while… the vibrant, almost neon pink colour is so striking.  3.  Just looking at these beautiful pink raspberry cookies makes me want to head to the kitchen and get baking… so delicious!  4.  Last is this super cute polka dotted cloud cushion which would make a very sweet cot companion.
