My lovely brother and sister in-law have just gone into business for themselves making the most stunning furniture. I'm sure you've seen on my blog that I've been drooling over a pallet coffee table for quite a while and I now finally have one thanks to Ina and Heinrich. Go check out some of their other work on their blog or contact them if you have something specific in mind.

inglot eye shadow

I'm a sucker for make-up and after seeing the new Inglot store in Canal Walk I was dying to go in there and check it out. So I finally go the chance and walked away with these beautiful eye shadows. I love them and they work so well. I also love that you can replace a single shadow when it's finished instead of having to buy the others as well. I'm sure they will be seeing a lot more of me.

confetti wall art

I really love these two simple diy pieces of wall art. There were plans to do the bottom on (I've even cut out all the little dots), but then I discovered that they boards I was going to use for it doesn't really work. So until I get the right size canvas this is on hold, but hopefully not for too long as this is so simple to do. Check it out here.

I've never been a bit fan of gold, but suddenly I'm finding myself more and more drawn to it. I'm especially loving all these beautiful gold home décor items.

beautiful table

 More from This is Colossal... These tables are just stunning! I'm very tempted to try this myself, but can you imagine the time that goes into knocking in each of those nails?!?

diy chocolate :)

 This made me smile. I am a complete chocoholic so I love these modular chocolates that you can add your own ingredients to. Brilliant. Check it out here. Also, check out the rest of this site as it features super cool art, design and illustration.

Ok, so the above statement (which I laughed my head off at because it's so apt) is how I felt for most of November and December. Way tooo much work and not enough downtime turned me into a brainless little thing, and subsequently, nothing but work got done in my house, hence no blog posts. I'm determined to make up for that so hopefully I can create some balance in my life (my new years resolution!) and focus on more things that make me happy. One of which is my blog. So hopefully you'll be seeing more regular posts again. 

Ok, so you'll also probably see a few posted dated blog posts popping up. These were a few things that I wanted to document, but never got around to, so I'm just going to stick them where they belong in the time line :), so forgive the confusion.

Happy 2012!

I'm back (finally) and wishing you all a wonderful and prosperous 2012
