Bone Inlay Furniture

I am in love with the Bone Inlay range at the UK based company Graham and Green. I first saw these beautiful furniture at Absolutely Beautiful Things, as Anna's gorgeous shop Black & Spiro is a little too far for those of us in the UK, I was so happy to find something similar in London!

Check out the rest of the range (cupboard, table, chair, stool etc.) at Graham & Green's online website.

Adopt a cute little bird

Came across these adorable bird illustrations at the Etsy shop - little doodles. They are the cutest birds I have seen, all fluffy and fat! The prints all have a warm feeling as well, due to the coloured background maybe?

Also, check out the talented illustrator Kate Wilson's blog here.

Vintage Friday: Paul and Joe Beaute

If you think of a brand that does vintage makeup and skincare, what's the first name that comes into your head? Benefit maybe? I do love Benifit products, especially some of their product names. But today I am going to talk about another brand, perhaps more well know for their fashion collection - Paul & Joe, their beauty collection Paul & Joe Beaute is a dream, I absolutely adore their products, not only are they effective and are of a good quality, their packaging is just simply beautiful. My favorite is the loose power complete with power puff!

Also, check out their new 08 Autumn limited edition collection, I want Lipstick No3!

Robert Ryan

After discovering the fun tiles at Robert Ryan's Etsy shop (see the previous post), I've decided to have a nose at the creator behind it and it turned out he's multi talented and produce some of the most beautiful paper cuts I have ever seen!

and he does screen prints in the same paper cut style too! Remeber that I am obsessed about prints? The only problem is because he's quite famous (created work for Paul Smith, Vogue ... & being shortlisted for best new shop in Elle Deorations' 2008 British Design Awards), his prints are quite pricy, although if I would afford I would definite bag one or two or until the money is out! Also, check out his blog and Etsy shop.

Copper Shades

I am loving these copper lampshades at Tome Dixon. They're modern, unique and just looks so cool! It would look great as a focal point at the entrance of a house or the living room or the study or ... the list is endless for something so stylish.

Colourful Rugs

I love this 'Puzzle Rug' designed by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby for The Rug Company, it's colourful, modern and fun. I am not the only fan either, Elle Decoration has put it on the 2008 Best British Design shortlist.
while I am talking about colourful rugs, here are two other of my favorites from The Rug Compnay, designed by two of the biggest British fashion icons Paul Smith and Vivienne Westwood. Both rugs represents the iconic designs of the two designers so perfectly.
