Project for the Weekend...

Ultimate Pet Bed
Pamper Fido with a soft, stylish place to rest his head. Stylist and author Katrin Cargill made this comfy dog bed out of vintage and new linen tea towels. Machine-stitch scraps together and add a thick cotton interlining. Remember a cushion for the base of the basket.

If this doesn't get you motivated for a weekend mini project not sure what will! How gorgeous is this for your puppy [small dog] or cat! And if you don't have a pet - what a great way to use some similar coloured fabrics up to make fabulous linings for your basket storage... Get sewing!

Bedroom Inspiration...

Our bed is due to go to God soon - it's had a great life, so now I'm looking at new beds - frames, headboards & mattresses and further inspiration for our bedroom at the moment... I have a few pieces I think I will keep & re-vamp and several I think would work better as newly introduced pieces. So before I make any major purchases and any unnecessary painting or upholstery work I am looking at a few different approaches to bedroom settings and colouring, naturally I get caught on blue, white and a neutral colour palette! However aside from colour - styling and what I need out of the bed and will it go with existing pieces is quite a high priority...

I found these great bedroom images in my photo file [above] that I quite like - they're fresh, contemporary, stylish and have a sense of relaxation - all feelings very important in my bedroom sanctuary. So I will keep on with the search - will let you know how I go and what we come up with!
