Please excuse the terrible quality of images! These were taken in a very dark room as it faces north and it was via my phone. Suprizingly enough my phone copes with the low light images better that my digital cameras! They get far too grainy. Anywho I digress!! A while ago I created this post about pull out tables in a kitchen area that I thought would be a great idea for the tiny space in my craft room. Although Im on a tiny budget! So i went to the ikea site. I discovered the Lyckhem Occaisonal table which is originally meant for a dining room sideboard I think but the measurements turned out to be perfect. Just a little deeper than the billy bookcase that was there before so not taking up too much room.. nice and tall for me because Im very tall and also have back problems so when I sit i need my knees to be lower than my bum.. so so so... it all worked out lovely. I attached the measuring tape to the front too which is incredibly useful! I bought a bar stool from Ikea too but before I did that I had done my maths regarding heights so its perfect. The cat has taken to sleeping on the chair though because it sits just above the radiator... its her new favourite spot!

Crochet and Interior Inspiration from Norway | I love Stina Ballerina!
Look at all the pretty colours in this bright white kitchen! I love the vintage book pages. I must keep an eye out for floral illustrations in books. I love this kitchen ^_^
And look at all that lovely washi tape on an 'inspiration' wall! Great if you don't have a cork board to store your inspiration. I also think that is wood; be careful if you're sticking directly on to paint. It can take the paint/plaster with it when its being removed unless you heat it quickly with a hair dryer or embossing heat gun thing.
The wall decor in that bedroom is absolutely gorgeous and I love the colour of the table! Last year I went crazy for the Ikea yellow polka dot bedding that was available and I was wide awake for about 3 weeks haha! O_O Be very careful with bright stimulating colours in a bedroom!

Colourful Craft Room And Interior Decor from Anrinko Blog
I saw this image on a random tumblr post, which of course had no original source (grr) so it took a few hours but I found it!!! I don't fully understand why I have so much patience when it comes to finding something I want lol... I used to be an image researcher so I can find almost anything on the inter web if I put my mind to it! Took me 2 hours to find a folder from Korea that I wanted too :p who knows why... anyway! I digress! I LOVE the colours of this wall unit and I want it! I would also spend an absolute fortune on fancy knobs for it!! I also am totally in love with this ribbon collection.
What a beautiful shot! Love this ribbon ^_^ Ive asked before but I will ask again! What do you use ribbon with?
Look at this craft room and sewing table!!! I love those machines... Im so jealous. I also love those woven baskets on the bookshelf.

Be still my beating heart! Anthropologie plates, cath kidston cutlery and home made vintage sheet fabric appliqué towels! Gorgeous ^_^ Not just flea market style but a little homespun too. Gorgeous colours for summer.
Pom Pom trim can make pillows look fabulous! You could also cut a panel from a vintage tea towel, hanky or table runner and attach it to a cushion. I love that large gingham print.

Matching up with my garden shed posts recently, I think the sunshine just makes me want to get outside and I love freshly grown veg too ^_^ My dream garden indeed

Super Bright Colours and Kitschy Cute Home Decor from Pink Friday
Are you ready for some summery bright colours on a friday?! Say hello to one of my favourite blogs Pink Friday. Perfect for when a little colour injection into my life ^_^
I love the flower painted on the little side table. It's very cute.
Such a gorgeous collection of boxes and pretty textiles. Also slightly enamoured with that patchwork panel sitting up against the wall.
This makes me want to start collecting tins and also... lining all my shelves with pom pom trims.
*cries* I love the Kaffe tin! And those Blafre tins! I may have to invest in the Wu&Wu tea, coffee and sugar tins at the bottom. Gorgeous things to display!
Look at all those colourful vases!!!! I love them. And how bright those stool legs are. I wonder what the fabric was originally. Looks a little like swimsuit fabric or am I insane?
Gorgeous! I love all the spray paint chairs! This house is just so quirky and colourful and lots and lots of fun <3

Lots of love Claire xo
