PINK BATHROOM TILES: HOT OR NOT?

Posted on October 23, 2018 | 3 Comments

I have a soft spot for (powder) pink but I don’t have anything pink in my home. On Pinterest I have been seeing lots of pink tiled bathrooms lately and it makes me wonder about adding more pink to the house. I will not be redesigning our bathroom but perhaps start with a powder pink pompom blanket on our bed. What do you think of pink bathroom tiles: hot or not? If you want to add a feminine touch to your bathroom but an entire wall of pink tiles is too much, you can also opt for a pink sink as in the last two images (after the jump). I am curious to hear what your opinion on pink tiles is!

GREAT BASIC FASHION ITEMS BY EVERLANE

Posted on October 12, 2018 | 1 Comment

During summer time I have no problems pulling an outfit together, I usually wear a tunic or kaftan dress and I am ready to go. But during the winter months I find it not so easy choosing an outfit that is comfortable, stylish and warm. Fortunately there is Everlane, a shop that offer great basics for affordable prices. Their style is a cross between Scandinavian simplicity and French chic, resulting in basic elegant and casual fashion. Everlane only works with ethical factories and they offer transparent prices. Everlane: “We believes our customers have a right to know how much their clothes cost to make. We reveal the true costs behind all of our products—from materials to labor to transportation—then offer them to you, minus the traditional retail markup.” Last year I bought the Wool cable cashmere sweater featured in the first image and it is still a favorite. The sweater in grey is now on sale for only 91 USD!

A BOHO CHIC CONTEMPORARY BEACH HOUSE IN SYDNEY

Posted on October 10, 2018 | Leave a comment

This contemporary four bedroom beach house belongs to jewelry designer Kylie Hinds (creator of Not Heidi), her husband Paul and their three kids. When they found this home on the perfect location overlooking the ocean in Sydney’s Coogee 13 years ago it was in bad shape and needed lots of work. After living there for eight years, the couple went for a complete knock-down rebuild, tearing down the old cottage so they could create their dream beach home. They made use of the location’s best attributes – natural sunlight and sparkling water views – and the house is now a haven for the entire family. Furniture pieces from Indian (like the old Indian door), Moroccan and Turkish rugs and kilim cushions add to the boho chic relaxed vibe.
