Do you like the new Citroen DS3? I think it's really trendy and girly looking- designer cars, will it be Cath Kidston or John Rocha next or perhaps an Amy Butler car??

Who said cars were for boys?!?!

H&M have some wonderful homeware selections.

My new home is progressing well. Currently the inside is being slabbed so it will be ready for plastering soon enough. I am getting my kitchen planned this week, so off to meet the kitchen planner at the weekend. Then it is time to pick the type of kitchen I want. I then have to go and look at wood burning stoves for the snug :) It is going to be one of my favourite rooms, so warm and cosy- I hope! Here are a few nice images I put together below, I think the bottom right is my clear favourite as it is very homely and warm looking. Have you a snug in your home???

Now you all know how much I love tea, so combine my love of tea with some stylish interiors and you get Wall & Keogh Organic Tea House in Portobello, Dublin, Ireland. Designed by Joanne Kelly and Anthony Buggy of Think Contemporary, Wall & Keogh is a must see for any visitors, tourists or residents in the city. Whether you like tea or good design then you have to pay it a visit.

Somewhere in your past is a moment caught in a shaft of sunlight slanting between the whispering trees and the whirr of unseen wings. Do you still believe? Then visit Made in Pixieland.

I have been looking at some kitchens and the more I look at the more confused I get. What do you think of the two kitchens above. I want a painted solid door, have you images of any nice ones?

All of the above magazines are really worth a look at, check out their websites and see what we got to offer in style, design and interiors here in Ireland :)

                            

Time for a tea party with Pip Studio :) If you are not familiar with Pip Studio, you really should take a look.
