The rather elegant home of Tarajia Morrell....

Lovely Sepia Toned books.... p.s that Jamie at home book is  beyond wonderful

Loving that grass green sofa!

I am pretty obsessed with Style like U. I just find it so enthralling listening to people talk about their clothes and homes, I am genuinely so interested in peoples lives and stories (I guess that is also why I love nursing). I can really relate to a number of the guests but others are just so different from me and it is those guys that I like listening to.

I have picked the home of  Tarajia Morrell ,owner of fab food blog the Lovage ,to share as it is just so elegant in a way that clumsy old me could never be. That dressing table top is so glam and I just love that beautiful vintage sparkly dress.  Make sure you check out the video found here.

Are there any good interior or design blogs that you guys are currently obsessed with? Let me know as I am starting to build up a good links roll below.

Bright and Bold Bohemian Sofas ....

Bright and Bold multi coloured Suzani Cushions add a bit of Spice to a plain coloured room

The green sofa and the orange flowers add a touch of colour to this Moroccan inspired interior

Bright bold Turqouise sofa

Mellow Yellow sofa, Stylist Twig Hutchinson

Things are still moving forward (slowly) with the purchase of my house. The house is actually in a nice condition and has been decorated well which, although you might think is a bonus but I was looking forward to a bit of a project (ha ha I am never happy).

I have been thinking of ways to add a bit of personality to the whiter than white sitting room and a bright and bold sofa or throw is looking like a good option. I have always wanted a green velvet chesterfield so i am keeping my ebay eyes open for a bargain.

What do you guys think? Bright and bold or neutral and relaxed?

On a totally separate matter I just wanted to say congratulations to my lovely Blogging buddies (and moon to moon sponsors) Lizzy and Spelly ( aka Spell Designs) for getting their stunning bags snapped up by Free People... Woo hoo!!!

Where to buy... Gypsy River

I have got a few emails recently asking me where to buy bohemian furniture or home decorations, so thought I may start a regular series featuring some of my favourite 'bohemian' shops. So this week I am featuring my new favourite Gypsy River. Not only does the Lovely Kerrie sell the most beautiful furniture but she also sells jewellery, collected from her travels around the globe.

I would love to have a shop like hers. Maybe one day *sigh*. So here is a selection of what is on offer at Gypsy River. For updates on Kerries purchases prior to them entering the etsy store, and for inspirational photos you can follow Kerries blog here.

I have a number of her beautiful Indian necklaces which are even nicer in real life.
