Urban Jungle Bloggers | Cosy & Green Bedroom
I always have some plants in the bedroom, but it’s usually on the table beside the window, where there’s light. I quite like the idea of having some green beside the bed though, so this month’s Urban Jungle Bloggers challenge, “cosy and green” was welcome. It makes sense to have some plants close to where you sleep, they purify the air for one, and some how make us feel more at ease.

Amanda Dziedzic Handblown Glass
Just yesterday, I discovered glass artist, Amanda Dziedzic through her newly released collaboration with Gorman Hometime. I love how Kit Gorman works with talented local and international artists and this particular collection is the sweetest limited edition glass carafe and tumbler set, all hand blown. I would have loved to have shown them here but the images were a little too small. They’d make a such a gorgeous gift, so do pop over to take a look.

The Cork Roundup
Wrong for Hay Lens Box Stackable cork
You may have noticed that we’ve being seeing cork a lot more in object design lately, especially with some of the main players. It has such a lovely smooth yet tactile feel with gorgeous muted colour tones that it’s really no wonder.
Urban Jungle Bloggers | My Plant Shelfie
This month our friends at Urban Jungle Bloggers HQ asked us to show us our “plant shefie”. So here is mine… a neglected plant brought back in from the garden, a thriving one relocated from the kitchen windowsill, and another that recently had their mother removed after it grew into a strange shape in search of the winter sun. After this exercise, I realise how nice it is to see a few plants in this part of the house, there’s certainly enough light for them here, so a couple will definitely be staying for a while.
31 Chapel Lane | Irish Linen & Tweed
Irish linen has a long history and is renown for its quality and durability. It’s also something that most of us grew up with. Our parents and grandparents would always swear by that Irish linen tea towel that dries the dishes so well, quite often they would own only a couple of these tea towels and it would always be pulled out when the extended family came around for a Sunday roast. Fast-forward many (!) years into the 21st century and linen is being loved and appreciated around the world all over again, and it really has come of age.
Rooms to Love | Book Review
Rooms To Love by LeeAnn Yare and Larnie Nicolson | Published by Penguin Books NZ
It’s no secret here that admiring beautiful interiors is a favourite pastime of mine, so I was pretty excited to receive an advance copy earlier this week, of LeeAnn Yare and Larnie Nicolson’s second book, Rooms To Love.
