5 Food Questions with Liz & Jewels
Today on the blog, a new regular feature where I’ll ask foodies whom I admire, five quick questions. It’s the same concept as “5 decorating questions with…” and I intend to alternate the two.
Bringing the outdoors in with Sky Planter
A couple of months back I wrote of my lack of green in the home after moving countries. Since that post I realised that I had a little dilemma in the name of a toddler who would just love to get her fingers into the soil of the indoor plants and wipe it everywhere. My immediate fix is to hang them and I’m excited by my latest purchase; the Sky Planter by boskke. I’ve had my eye on it for some time now, I’ve always loved the simple elegance of it and how the plants look against the smooth ceramic – and not a drop of soil on the floor nor muddy wall art! So I’m getting there, bringing a little outdoor in. I think I might get a couple more of the smaller sizes to balance it off.
Hidden Gems of London
Hi I’m Amy from Simple Style Notebook. I’m so happy to be guest posting on Armoire, Pegs and Casserole from my home in Sheffield, UK. I live in a leafy suburb on the edge of an old industrial city in the North of England surrounded by rolling hills and picturesque farmland, but I used to live a very different life.
Armoire, Pegs & Casserole Favourites
Can you believe that I’ve posted 55 times already? I thought I’d share some of my most popular posts that you, and especially my new readers may have missed. You see, when you stop by to discover a new blog, you usually scroll down the page and occasionally click to the previous page and go no further, so a lot of posts that may be of interest could be missed. Here I’ve linked back to some of my favourite posts to date:
Organise me – Urbio
In my quest for the organised home, I stumbled upon Urbio and thought what a clever idea, I have to share it!
Urbio is a magnetic modular wall storage system that can be used as an urban garden, storage solution or a mix of both. The super strong magnets allow for a variety of weights and they’re easy to remove and rearrange.
Store it
It’s the springtime here in the southern hemisphere and with all of the beautiful weather, comes the traditional thoughts of the spring clean and easy living.
In my dreams I would have a beautifully organised house with no clutter lurking behind the closed doors, I’d have simple systems in place to easily file, store and display everything that I need for now and the future. If I lived like this I’m sure I’d gain at least an hour a day but it feels like I’ll never get there! Do you ever feel like that?
Inspiration through Milan Kundera
I remember when I was in my late teens; I read my first novel by Milan Kundera. Like a lot of his readers, it was The Unbearable Likeness of Being. It changed my life somewhat, I’m not entirely sure what it was but it lit something inside of me and it was then that I decided that I wanted to write. I have always loved reading, but through his words I read art and I wished that I could do the same. This particular novel is rather melancholic but as I discovered more, I appreciated his sometimes-comical study of people, their needs and raw imperfections. I find it rather beautiful and could only wish that I would be able to create characters and scenarios the way he does.
3 Ways With a Vintage Wire Basket
Have you been admiring the wire basket trend but not quite sure how to use them in your home? Today I’ve got three practical and stylish ideas.
My huge magazine collection is spread all around my house and for some time I’ve been looking for a solution to where I can store them together in an attractive way. This particular wire basket works perfectly, you can fit two piles side by side and my favourite part is that you can see the spine of the magazines, making it easily to find the one that you’re looking for.
