Inspiration No. 2, 2013 - Desert recipes, DIY Lampshade & More

Image
With the recent, fabulous hot and sunny weather we've been having in Auckland I have to admit that I have been consuming vast amounts of ice cream to the extent I have actually put on a kilo in weight over the past few weeks. For the sake of myself, I probably should not be posting mouth watering recipes. However, I  couldn't resist sharing my latest find, a delicious recipe for Cranberry Almond swirl ice cream. Also discovered were some delicious chocolates and an unusual cookie recipe, add to this a few DIY ideas and a  contemporary  interior and you have this weeks inspiration post.   With Valentines not far away how about these delicious Raspberry dark chocolate ganache chocolates discovered at "Desserts for breakfast"... See recipe  Salted caramel stuffed chocolate crinkle cookies from Cooking Classy... See recipe  from Liren at Kitchen Confidante, via "My Way Home"... See Recipe here . Note: I don't have an ice cream maker but manage perfectly by f...

Calypso, Thibaut's latest Indoor/Outdoor Fabric Range

Image
Today I want to introduce you to a stunning new indoor/outdoor fabric range from Thibaut Design called, Calypso... If you are from my part of the hemisphere, you are probably familiar with the name 'Sunbrella', an outdoor fabric that withstands the wear and tear of our harsh sun.

The new range of fabrics can be mixed a...

Blue or Beige? Two Coastal Looks from Lisa Gabrielson Design

Image
 Lisa Gabrielson Design Sorry for my absence the last couple of weeks, my hand is now healing and I am back in full force. I wanted to start the week with two gorgeous interiors. Neutral, sandy tones are restful and beachy, however, if you want more contrast, or to add some 'punch', navy and white is the way to go. Two different looks from the same great designer... In the first project (above and below), Lisa Gabrielson Design has taken a neutral palette and added lots of interest with texture and pattern. I love the Hamptons style kitchen and the black counter top really pops. I am a person that is not very brave when it comes to using dark tones, and have chosen white for the  Papamoa Beach house , however, Sarah has convinced me a black stone tile she found would work wonderfully in the bathrooms   alongside the cararra marble in the shower base and nook (more to come on that next week). Meanwhile I will leave you to peruse these two lovely homes...
