Cool chairs at Urban Outfitters

It's been awhile since I've visited the Urban Outfitters website, and I'm quite pleased with what I've seen. I was particuliarly impressed with their new furniture. There's a bit more variety than what I'm used to seeing from them, but they still maintain that retro-college-dorm type style that they're known for. Whether that's a good thing or bad thing, I still love these chairs. They're brilliant replicas and quite affordable.

Dublin Waste finds

Today seemed to be Sideboard Central on Dublin Waste with these two gorgeous sideboards. The top one is located in Shankill and the other one in Marino. Get em' while they're hot people!!!

Geometric Chic

I was just doing a bit of blog browsing and came across this photo that Anna from Door 16 posted, of these fab doors on Broadway. They reminded me of a coffee table that Zee of Homebug painted a while back. I think I feel a trend coming on...perhaps Geometric chic :-P

I'm going to EGYPT!!!

As we speak, James is booking a holiday for us in Egypt for October. I'm completely ecstatic! Of course we'll be seeing the standard sights (Pyramids, Egyptian museum, etc.), but we'll also be snorkling, sailing, hiking and having a grand ol' adventure. Might even get a chance to do some home shopping in Cairo. Fingers crossed anyway. So today, I bring you some Egyptian inspiration!

Etsy finds- Doxie motifs

I really dislike when people get obsessed with particular breeds of dogs. Well maybe not the people, so much as the merchandising...jumpers and placards that read "I <3 my Cavalier King Charles," or "Beware of our Bichon Frise." Doormats, postcards, keychains, coffee mugs, those stupid recordings of dogs barking that someone remixes into Christmas carols, the list is endless.

That being said, I've been noticing a trend of Daschund motifs everywhere, and it makes me miss my babies, Murphy and Pheobe, back in Seattle. So here's a few Doxie-related items, I found on Etsy this evening.

Doxie frame purse by Field of Roses. $27

Big ol' hotdog print by Bee Things. $15.00

Weiner Necklace by Shara Lambeth Designs. $25.00

Doxie Skeleton tee by Skeledog. $25.00

Attack of the pod people!

Lately the adverts for the Dulux Paint Pod have been taunting me. It really makes me wish I had a wall left to paint in my place. The paint gets pumped into the roller from the pod, so you don't have to bend down constantly to dip it in a tray, and once you're done it cleans itself like some sort of flippin' painty miracle.

However, it looks like you have to buy a specific range of Dulux paint with containers that fit the pod, and it only comes in 13 colours...all pastel. I guess if that's the kind of colours you're going for, the Paint Pod might be worth the €99.99 price tag. For me, though, I think I'll stick to my trusty old manual roller until I can get some variety in my colours.

Friday Flowers

I was down in Superquinn this morning and felt in a very flowery mood, so I picked up some lovely chrysanthemums and carnations at only €2.99 per bunch. It's amazing just how much freshly cut flowers can brighten up a sitting room!
