Shop: Joinery

Wire basket
Large Rag Rug
Tambourine
'Doorknob'
Lunne Tumbler
I would love that wire basket for my kitchen (although it would sadly get totally squished coming from New York to England). And although I am anything but musically talented that Egyptian Tambourine would be a pretty edition to my home. Joinery has some beautiful handmade quality pieces.

Kitchen Details.....

When the dream of buying a home became a realty, I was so excited about the prospect of building my dream kitchen. I was inspired by the years of pretty pictures I had collected for Moon to Moon. I wanted to replace the cupboards with beautiful rustic wooden shelves that would house my jars of spices, brown rice and mismatched blue and terracotta crokery, and I would spend time looking for that perfect vintage style fridge, paint it turquoise and have it overlook a herb garden :)

In reality I do not have a big budget, and annoying things like replacing the front door and getting the heating properly installed is sadly now more of a priority. But that kitchen still needs sorting.

The kitchen is such an important room to me, I want to be inspired to cook homemade soups, spout beans and seeds, bake bread and enjoy being in there when I do so. So I am focusing on the details. Details that dont have to cost a fortune, like a buying a terracotta pot (bottom photo) and planting herbs that I frequently use, displaying some of my pretty jars and containers on the work surface (this will also disguise my awful pink flowery granny tiles until I can replace them),  hanging up my nicest mugs and pans and of course growing my avocado tree. Slowly but surely this kitchen will be great , but on a budget, ebay, etsy and charity shops are my new best friends

Current obsession: Turkish Coffee Cups

Ornate Silver Turkish Coffee Cup with lid
Turkish Coffee and Turkish delight :)

Turkish coffee and Turkish Delight
Turkish Coffee cup in 'antique silver' from The turkish Emporium
These Turkish coffee cups are so beautiful. They are espresso sized as Turkish Coffee is so strong, I have been told this is to ensure the Sufi's stay awake through the night to pray and meditate, (dont hold me to this).

Sadly I am not a big coffee drinker and they are too small for my Tri-daily cup of tea but they are so pretty and ornate that I am tempted to get one anyway.... lots of little cups of tea is do-able...

The bottom picture is a coffee cup that is available from The Turkish Emporium, there are however some really beautiful Turkish Coffee sets like this one from ebay, complete with Turkish Delight Bowl

Kitchens with big windows

Greenhouse Kitchen : What I would do for this!!!
Kitchen: Big windows, eclectic tiles and pots and pans

Earthship kitchen: Okay I posted this a couple of days ago but it is so beautiful
Greenhouse kitchen/ utility room
When I was 14 I had a friend called Charlotte who had a kitchen with a greenhouse type glass roof. Ever since I first saw that kitchen I have been obsessed with the idea of building and designing my own. Plenty of sunlight, mismatched kitchen surfaces and over looking a beautiful garden..... well I can dream...

Hope you are all having a great week, dont forget to enter the Wild Unknown Tarot Card give away, over 300 entires so far.....The winner will be drawn tomorrow... good luck

Renovated Farmhouse, Wales


Farmhouse Kitchen: Kilim Cushions and odd chairs



Farmhouse sitting room





FarmHouse in Wales renovated by Hackett Holland

How beautiful is this Welsh farmhouse. Dating from 1805 and left abandoned in 1948 it has been reclaimed and renovated by the guys at Hackett Holland, beautifully.

The home still has no electricity but the stove urns locally sourced timber, supported by an Aga which heats the water. Sounds like a perfect romantic getaway.

To read more about this beautiful cottage and see other renovations visit Hackett Holland here

Creating a Bohemian kitchen...

Moroccan Tea trays add a sense of the Bohemian in this stunning ethnic style kitchen
Bohemian Kitchen: Loud and Proud Tiles add a touch of the exotic
Bohemian Kitchen: A unique, rustic cubord can be picked up from ebay/thrift stores
A bright Wall will detract from ghastly cuboards
Bohemian Kitchen: Get those vintage bottles on display
Bohemian Retro style Kitchen


I get they keys to my very first owned home today. I am so excited, I have lived in over 18 homes in my 31 years and I think it is about time I settled in one place for a while....

My first room to tackle is going to be the kitchen, peach floral tiles and 1980's cupboards are really not my thing... Im thinking Mexican or Moroccan tiles, shelves instead of upper cupboards and tile floors. So exciting.....

p.s I will be drawing the Lulu Organics give away this evening so make sure you have taken part... The winner will be announced on the Give away post and facebook later this evening
