More beautiful tiles

I can't resist beautiful tiles.  So thank you decorenvy.co.uk (another favourite blog of mine) for bringing these to my attention. Take a look at the link above for all the pictures and links, but these are my favourites.  Particularly Hally's cafe in Parson's Green. These ones work beautifully against the aged wooden table and mirror.

Cats beware

If your cats are anything like mine they are always mooching about on the shelves where they shouldn't be, so with these fine looking bookends they may well just think twice. Sold by DesignAtelierArticle on etsy.com they are hand made, laser cut for precision and a snip at £33.51. I want a couple.

Tribal outdoors

With my thoughts turning to outdoors and long lazy summer entertaining these chair and table sets from made.com have caught my eye.  They're the new Mali collection - with tribal inspired pattern and vivid colours they will bring a pop of colour and design to your garden. Although truth be told I quite fancy the monochrome.  At £149 for 2 chairs and a table they're a bargain too - and they even stack easily for autumn/winter storage. I like a bit of practicality with my design.

Sealed with a kiss

I first saw this Bocca sofa back in my advertising days in the reception of a well known media owner. I loved it then and love it now, so when I came across it on www.gufram.it I was delighted. And not only that I also fell in love with some of their other pieces.  Now just need the opportunity, the guts and budget to get it out there.
