Karma chairs in vintage style

I know summer is coming to an end, but I would love a few of these chairs around my camp fire. From Karma Living these chairs are available in a variety of vintage fabrics and you can find them at gilt.com

New colours from Farrow & Ball

From Stiffkey Blue to Nancy's Blush, the new colours for 2013 are out. There are nine to choose from, each rich and velvety with typically eccentric names (e.g. Wevet and Dimpse, Yellowcake and St Giles Blue...) Check them all out for yourself on the F&B website. It's a great site too that gives loads of inspiration and also provides moodboards for each colour and a selection of other Farrow & Ball colours that work well alongside. Take Mole's Breath for example...

Mole's breath No.276
Above is the colour in its full glory, and below is a helpful mood board selecting other complimentary colours, complete with references alongside...

A rocking horse with a difference

Love this beautifully designed new take on the classic childrens' rocking horse.  Let your kids have some fun on the 'Googy' - from Slovenian designer Nina Mihovec for Novak.  From £269 from googy.eu.

Hang it all

For design junkies out there, the classic Hang it all coat hook by Charles and Ray Eames has had a face lift.  Vitra have re-envisioned it for the modern day in 3 fresh colour waves.  Great for kids - the colourful wooden balls are specifically designed to encourage kids to hang up their things.  Certainly worth a try.
