Hobbit Hole: Hobbit house entrance - I want to sit there with a pipe and a pint of Ale

The pictures are of the actual Hobbit Holes made for the filming of the new Hobbit movie released later this year. The studio are allowing the public to take a tour of the Hobbit village which has been built on private farm land near Matamata. Al of the pictures are from this awesome dedicated Hobbit house Tumblr which I have spent hours dreaming over.....I am so in love, I WANT a hobbit house......

Hands up who's moving to Hobbiton with me?

The home of... Justina Blakeney

The gloriously bright and bohemian home, also known as the Jungalow of Interior Designer Justina Blakeney

Bright and Eclectic Interior design: Organic cream and neon Orange

Wooden floors, beautiful textiles and houseplants

I love the apple green paint on those kitchen windows

Justinas, beautiful bedroom, complete with Handira and Suzani textiles

I have a thing about turquoise cupboards at he moment- this vintage cupboard has been given a modern twist with a coat of brilliant turquoise paint

IN the bedroom: African masks and that stunning Metal lamp

Justina's bargain find from the Rosebowl

I have been a big fan of Justina Blakeney for some time now. Her beautiful blog is always such a warm place to visit... recipes, fashion and bohemian interior design all in one place, whats not to love?

So I was really pleased when Justina agreed to let me share with you some of the pictures of her beautifully eclectic, bohemian home. Using a mixture of organic, natural colours, international textiles, juxtaposed with bright neon cushions and paint work, this house really is so individual and beautiful. There is even a beautiful Handira hanging above the bed...I am totally inspired for my new home...

So head over to her blog and prepared to get lost

Thank you Justina

Creating a bohemian room P.t 3.. Rugs

No bohemian room is complete without a hint of Moroccan style interior design

Kilim rug

Yurt interior

Beautiful bohemian rug

There is nothing like a beautiful rug to help create a cozy relaxed interior. I am a big fan of Kilim rugs at the moment but they are so expensive, I am keeping an eye out on ebay for a bargain. For more rug heavy interiors see here.

Hope you all had a great christmas. I got the Woodstock handmade houses book I wanted (cheers Lizzy) and it is even better in print.

Kitchen Plants

Bohemian window ideas for the kitchen

Bohemian Kitchen, light and airy

The kitchen is the room where you cook and prepare wonderful dishes full of wonderful vegetables, fruit, seeds and nuts, so what better place to grow plants and get some inspiration for your culinary dishes.

Hanging spider plants and cheese plants are my favouritesm, creating natural dramatic sillouttes,.
