Happy Friday everyone!
I need that large Alexander Girard ‘Love” print in the first pic above! I have a cushion which I bought from Urban Outfitters on one of our trips to NYC. I must find one.
What’s everyone up to this (holiday in the UK) weekend? We are planning a trip to the garden centre for yet more plants and pots for our two balconies and some boozing with friends.
Have a good one.
We recently made a spontaneous last minute, mad dash to Ikea Land in Cardiff. It was also on a Friday afternoon, yes a friday afternoon and not our usual early Saturday morning sneak in and out job which we have been doing for years. David hates visiting Ikea with a passion and the shorter the visit the better for him. Our best record time is ten minutes. It can be done.
I was in desperate need for new tables for my office and after an extensive search of the interweb I decided to go for the Melltorp tables. White, minimal and a starting price of £19.99 for the 75 x 75 cm square version. I bought three, the 75cm square one and two 75 x 125 cm to form an L shape. £73.99 for three tables, bargain.
I also wanted to have a look at the new Kvissle range of office accessories. White coated metal with cork accents, very nice they are too and at £11.99 for the four storage boxes above, they just had to make their way into my trolley. I also bought the magazine files.
Something else which happened to make it’s way home with me was theHenny blanket (shown above on my new Robin Day sofa bed). I came across it quite a while ago but I didn’t know where it was from. I assumed it was rather expensive and then one day whilst looking on the Ikea website, there it was! Love the pattern, it’s feels very nice indeed and at 35 quid it will keep you warm and cosy and won’t break the bank.
So, whether you love Ikea or hate it, one thing for sure is that they still come up with a few gems.
Happy Friday!
Sorry I’ve been away for so long! It’s been busy, busy, busy here at Obsessilicious/Yumalum Towers. I’ve been sorting out my office/studio space now that I have decided to use the spare room instead of the loft. Lots of pics coming your way soon which will include my delicious new Robin Day sofa bed (there is one in the second pic down).
I’m chuffed to bits to find out that little old Obsessilicious made it into the Cision Top 10 UK Interior Design Blogs on Twitter! Happy days. Tweet tweet.
Have a fantastic weekend!
I’m buying something for my office/studio. I’ve wanted one for quite some time now and I’ve been totally obsessing about getting one over the last few weeks. I’ve missed out on a couple on the dreaded Evilbay but this one is an absolute corker! More pics soon. Now what could it be?…
