New Feature: Recreating My Favourite Pinterest Rooms

I love browsing through Pinterest and if like me you dream of recreating some of the beautiful rooms, then you will definitely like this new feature. I will try and recreate the look for some of my favourite rooms and give you links where similar products may be bought, including of course textiles from my own shop :)

Lets make this a Monday feature on the blog!

This picture below has so many of my favourite things, Leather Sofa, Black and White Cushions, Wooden Coffee Table and a Moroccon Rug!


To recreate this look you will need:


An almost identical Sofa from West Elm

Some Black & White Cushions from Anek Designs




Simple Wooden Coffee Table from Urban Ladder


Hand made stone ware cup from Archana Srinivas on Etsy

A Black and White rug from Sukhi Rugs on Etsy

Or a rug from Art of Vintage Souk on Etsy

Now some Garam Chai and a nice book to complete the look!

If you think you know products to recreate this look then send me links in the comments and I will share them here on my blog!

See you next Monday with another room to recreate!

Doors and Windows of Marrakech, Chefchauen & Fez


Some of you already know that husband and I were lucky to travel to Morocco in 2015. As a matter of fact, all of last year was full of travel for us and I hope to sort out my pictures and share them with you here, on my often neglected Blog! Of course this may be a result of the dawn of a new year and all its action packed positivity rubbing off on me, we shall see :)

Within Morocco we traveled to Marrakech, Chefchauen and Fez, with Chefchauen being a hill station and strikingly different to the other two. Since I have hundreds of photographs of my trip, I have decided to organize them into several blog posts, each dealing with a different aspect, Architecture, textiles, bazaars and so on.

Above is the entrance of our beautiful Riad Lheure-dete in Marrakech, you can check out the hotel website here: http://www.lheure-dete.com/chambres.html
It was comfortable and affordable with warm and friendly service.

Riads are typically small residential Haveli Style properties with a central courtyard with a garden/citrus trees and rooms all around. Many of these Riads have been converted into boutique hotels offering great service, in the heart of the old city areas of these popular destinations.
I highly recommend living in one of these to get a taste of Morocco.

Below is a small collection of Doors and windows of Morocco...
