I need inspiration so this is a thread to show off bloody lovely stuff we have found. You don’t need to own it (but if you do, we need pics Grin) but please post links to the most divine things you have found in the last few months.

I’ll start with Gorgeous wallpapers

Also someone else on Mnet linked to personalised personal planner where I have wasted many happy hours creating the perfect planner in an attempt to be more organised!

Disclaimer: needs to be ‘stuff’ not pets (have plenty already), children (gah), clothes (snore)

[quote DrHWeasley]I luuuurve Bramwell Brown weather clocks:

www.bramwellbrown.com/

Have been lusting after one for some time, but we have a real project on our hands, and there is always something else more sensible to spend money on first (new windows and roof, for example Hmm)

Also, on the less pricey side, love this print and want it for my office:

Oh I loved those weather clocks, until I saw the price! Shock

FiveGensOfLove · 24/06/2021 14:28

@ouchmyfeet

Agree those clocks are GORGEOUS.

We have moved house recently and I really love our new bookcase:

Am on the lookout for new light fittings so going to have a look at the website linked above.

Also need new door handles Smile

@ouchmyfeet I am a big fan of a bookcase, but (although it is beautiful) I now can't unsee that they describe it on their website as having 'three DRAWS'.... Sad

Aaargh!

Peridot1 · 24/06/2021 14:37

@De88 - I’ve just bought the same light shade in navy and copper for our spare bedroom. I bought ochre coloured bedding and will get navy lampshades for the bedside lamps and a navy throw for the bed. Furniture is white. I’m hoping it will all look good!

fitzbilly · 24/06/2021 14:40

I have bought this beautiful rainbow light bulb for my DC's bedroom.

fitzbilly · 24/06/2021 14:40

In fact, I love a lot of the things in Oliver Bonas!

Raaraaboonah · 24/06/2021 14:51

I have this tree print in my kitchen. It cheers me up every day

I've been really lucky to get a few lovely things recently....I got a flower pot lamp which was a birthday present from dh (won't tell him it's now on sale!!)

And I bought a couple of things for myself, an heirloom quilt from Coco and Wolf (though the one I bought doesn't seem to be available any more) and a marble cushion from Beata Heuman

I also now need a weather clock!

That house number is beautiful. I really like the 'knock knock' door knocker on there as well

Gatekeeper · 24/06/2021 20:35

oh God...I love this

DH is looking at me like this Hmm

FijiCavanaugh · 24/06/2021 20:59

I have this in my bedroom. It's gorgeous and took me a year of lusting to take the plunge and buy it but it makes me happy everyday.

It's made by an artist not too far away from me and all her things are gorgeous.

@HellHasNoFur

Omg, bookcase with a ladder, now that is #winningatlife Envy
We got a (second hand) 'metamorphic chair' so we could reach our bookshelves. People who visit are seriously intrigued by it. I have yet to try it on kids, but I bet they would love it, it's like a magic chair. Grin Here are a few: www.antiques-atlas.com/antiques/antique-furniture/armchairs-occasional-chairs/metamorphic_chair
BlueMongoose · 24/06/2021 21:03

[quote Bluntness100]I love this and was all set on buying it (I live in an old period property) but sadly it’s not suitable due to the rating and the old wiring in my house.

That's smashing. I quite fancy it myself. I'm looking for a vaguely Gothic light fitting....

thelegohooverer · 24/06/2021 21:11

Lovely idea for a thread, Op, thank you

FijiCavanaugh · 24/06/2021 21:18

@BlueMongoose I LOVE those library steps!

HasaDigaEebowai · 24/06/2021 21:24

I can’t afford anything else lovely because I’ve just bought this (brochure kitchen not my kitchen)

Brilliant idea for a thread @HellHasNoFur thank you!

My our summerhouse is coming very soon and I'm buying things for it so this is great timing!

chickensafari · 25/06/2021 09:58

Wow some of the things linked here are absolutely beautiful, that bookcase with the ladder!

We are currently extending and renovating, and I’m not quite at the buying beautiful things stage yet. I’m at the flooring/ kitchen/ doors stage but eagerly anticipating the finishing off stage (although I may be skint by then!)

OffRampHilton · 25/06/2021 10:18

I am currently obsessed with this footstool but just can’t justify the price.

Oh that footstool is lush, and the metamorphic chair!

This might be a silly Q, but does anyone know of a children’s version of this? Googling “children’s shelf book ladder” brings up “ladder shelves” rather than a shelf with a step stool attached. I’m sure they must be sold by someone!
Dinosauraddict · 14/07/2021 13:57

@HellHasNoFur thank you for this thread. I followed your wallpaper recommendation and it looks stunning!

Tightwad2020 · 14/07/2021 17:53

Wallpaper and fabrics from Bay Gallery. Designs by Aboriginal artists. Unbelievably lovely. I'm obsessed www.baygalleryhome.com/

Replaced horrible cupboard doorknobs when I repainted the doors oyster with these from Etsy
www.etsy.com/uk/listing/809378660/brass-and-bone-funky-orange-wood-effect?ref=yr_purchases. and bought some similar in pink to put on a black-painted cupboard. Make me happy every time I open the doors.

Betterfly · 14/07/2021 18:56

Nothing to add but THOSE CLOCKS 😍

I need one in my life (if I stop having my Friday coffee I can probably have one in about 5 years).
