Something I love is...

Nautical.
Looking at my underwear on the clothes horse this morning resparked my love of everything nautical. I have just bought a million pairs of new underpants and one particular pair stands out to me and I can't wait to wear them. Simple blue and white stripes with red edging.
It has even inspired me to design a room for future male off-springs if one day we are ever blessed.
I even own a blue and white striped top that I love to pair with a red singlet underneath and spunky jeans!
Some stuff that just blows me away and makes me go..WOW
A boat for a bed from Rafter Tales
As well as the most darling mobile!
And Writing about the journey has also shared their version of a nautical nusery with the more traditional blues, reds and whites.
Kerri's big beautiful days shows the most sweetest nautical themed nursery. With palest of blues and sandy beiges it's just the cutest and most inviting nursery I've seen!
Cottage Living strikes again!
A more rustic, softer take on 'nautical' found at Mteriors looks so inviting. Somewhere you could go and waste away the hours reading and gazing out the windows.
Bright bedding in a white/light space work so well. So much 'punch' and sense of fun and frivolity! Thanks to the Landofnod !
For a softer version of nautical - look at Cottage Living I love the sign!
I love this blue wall, whilst not exclusively a nautical theme - with a few touches it could be perfect - Here
For someone who didn't enjoy sharing a room as a child, this appeals to me in so many ways! I love the alcoves, I love the brightness, the softness and the comfort that the theme proves in this room. Also found above.
Decor Village offers the mother load when it comes to shared spaces and nautical themes!
How beautiful is this coral chandelier found at Envisage ?
I love how fresh and bright this is! Country Living have inspired me again!
At My shoestring life this lovely little collection was put together, my favourite here is the red number 6 bag and the rope ball at the bottom!
How adorable are these bathers shown at Catwalk Queen
This outfit is soo adorable - I love everything about it, found at Jankesphere
At FashionPolice they showcased this last year, but I still love them all a year later!

Something I love is...

Laundries.
I'm not really sure why I have this current obsession, but it overcame me today and I just had to do some Laundry googling.
Things I have found that are ever so lovely:
Country living has this lovely dolls house inspired storage cupboard!
Kitchen Galleries has this laundry on offer
Laundry chutes, how fun! I love the idea of sending the washing down a chute to the laundry! The instant decluttering it can provide a room!
Apartment Therapy made up this selection as their top ten laundry hampers
Fashion Mista has found the funkiest collection of hampers! So many options and so many styles I particularly like this one:
I love how funky and bright these ones are! Would look great in a kids/teenagers room!
Though a little impractical size wise this hidden hamper/pull out is a fabulous idea from Rev-a-shelf for small spaces and keeping laundry areas neat and tidy.
Again another hidden hamper idea. This one from Luxury housing trends has got the best idea of including it in your wardrobe / closet system!

Something I love is....

Being attentive to my blog. But alas, I have been utterly neglectful. I will endeavour to make up for this through the year, and hopefully will help my little blog grown in to a lovely little place full of things I love.

Something I love....

Something I love today is not material, beautiful nor tangible. Today I love my class. They are gorgeous little human beings who have bloomed, evolved - blossomed in front of my very eyes. I love being on a class and having a set of students who are 'mine'. I love that they are happy to see me every day, I love that they are behaved in my class and not in others LOL. I love that they want me to watch them play basketball on the weekends and talk to their parents about whether I'll go and get excited when they realise I have! I love it that these kids are Grade 7's!!! They are young adults who appreciate what I do and that I love them for who they are and that I'm there to help them.

Something I love is....

Clocks.
I am still yet to decide on the perfect clock in our house, or whether in actual fact we need one?
I don't wear a watch when I am at home, only at work.
We found this one recently and quite liked it. Rather large though.
Have been eyeing off this one for quite a while, but in all white for the office - but have not made the purchase as yet!
We do love to read.... IMOTIME
Has some fun and quirky clocks.
I also love this little red door from their store. Perhaps the more luxurious model of flip clock - it has everything. I am particularly hopeless as knowing the date, maybe this is the answer?

Something I love is....

Furniture.
Today I love furniture. Actually, truth be told? I love it everyday.
I do, however, have a particularly deep infatuation with furniture today. Mainly because I have a wee cold and am on the couch under the doonie on my laptop whiling away the hours on a lovely saturday.
Husband is making a tummy-friendly carbonara (using Liddel's lactose free cream) and I am googling to my hearts content.
The first love today is? Beds.
I own the modern, simple and beautiful Altere from Freedom - but I am muchly inspired by some of the crazy, weird, fantastic, innovative designs that are out there!
The Lomme
The energy pod
The convertible sofa
The desk bed
Wall beds - a thing of the past?
Wall bunk
And the single
(all wall beds are available from http://www.thecomfortshop.com.au/index.php).
The Bedcase
Ceiling retractable bed
Feel
And one for the Pooch
