Gorgeous Green collage by Liz Nehdi

In honour of St. Patrick’s Day, here’s a collage of all things green.

Fun factoid – did you know that St. Patrick is credited with banishing snakes from Ireland?

Enjoy a Guinness and kick back tonight.

Beautiful Blue – from Cloud to Cobalt

A blue mood board by Liz Nehdi

As a lover of both colours and organization I find myself collecting colour palette inspiration constantly from the world around me (and with the help of Pinterest). Yes, this inspiration comes from fashion, interiors and art, but other times it hits me as I’m walking down the street and see a particularly lovely colour vignette. Appreciating these small moments elevates everyday life and makes life that much more beautiful. Keep your eyes open!

I’ve chosen blue for this week’s colour mood board. Blue seems appropriate right now. It’s cold. Possibly even icy where you are. When the cloudy London skies part for an hour or so, I’m so thankful to see the beautiful blue sky. From cloud to cobalt to ultramarine to teal – blue is one of my favourite hues.

What’s your favourite shade of blue?

A few extra ZZZZZ’s

Bedroom collage by Liz Nehdi

I’m not one to hide the fact that I love my beauty sleep. And Sundays are the perfect day to indulge in a few extra ZZZZZ’s. Here’s a collage featuring some of my favourite components for a relaxing and beautiful bedroom: a patterned duvet or walls, a dialed-back colour palette, great art, lots of pillows, sumptuous fabrics and fresh flowers.

What does your ideal bedroom look like?
