thinking about the next nursery

SO.

Big news.

This week we found out we're having a girl! How exciting. Of course they said it's not 100% but hopefully they've got it right because I really want to start thinking about the nursery.

I started a new baby's room board on Pinterest to get me started. Here are my inspirations so far (I only have three pics!):

All the pics I have relate to the colours I'd like to use in the room. I just love this teal colour and see it being one of the main colours with the pops of yellow and orange.

And I just love these curtains. Originally I liked these colours for the room, but ended up keeping this pic because I'd love to have some fun with the curtains in this striped format. So pretty.

As you can see, my inspiration pics don't really fall into the typical girly pink options which I don't want, but I can see adding some hot pink in with the blue, yellow, orange and teal.

Can't wait to get started! Only five months to go! :)

kitchen inspiration

It's lunchtime here in real-job world, so I thought I would post a pic I just found that has inspired me to think more about my kitchen.

I have to say, my kitchen isn't bad, but it's not my dream kitchen - that is for sure. I found this kitchen via Isabella and Max Rooms the other day and I love it.

To be honest, it's not entirely different from my kitchen. Ok this is a massive overstatement. I have white cupboards (from 1960), dark grey walls, tumbled stone backsplash and wood floors.

This kitchen is like a grown-up version of mine. The millwork is gorgeous. It has an island. It has a gas stove and marble counters. Yummy.

A new kitchen is definitely on our list, but it's about 10 years down the road I think. I'll just keep this photo in my back pocket for now ;).

Happy Weekend!
