My office & inspiration space

Since forever I had wanted my own space where I can just 'be'. A quiet room full of pretty things, inspiring things, 'me' things, so that when I need to come home at the end of each day from my 'normal' job and sit down to start writing for Possibly Maybe or work on other business ideas, I actually wanted to be in that room. When Mr M & I were lucky to find our current house close to the city, with it's own cafe strip and lot's of bedrooms we cut a deal. Mr M could have a man cave, if I got my own study, suffice to say we both walked away from that deal with big smiles on our faces and huge ideas in our heads. I love my room, it inspires me and makes me want to be in there. I feel productive just by walking in to it and believe that all girls should have a room that's there's to fill with what they love just like it. I stuck with basic colour designs - aqua, white and silver and try to have fresh flowers in there 24/7. Next goal on the list when upgrading my inspiration space is for the room to be overlooking the beach ... stay tuned.

DIY Dreaming

I am a huge daydreamer when it comes to almost anything. Travel, romance, what food to cook - but especially, how I want my house to look when Mr M & I decide to build or buy our first home. I have said forever and a day I want a huge house always filled with family and friends with delicious meals cooked in a huge kitchen, and lot's of bedrooms so guests always have a bed to stay in. I can't wait to fill said house with all my own little style ideas and designs - including personalised themes for each room. With that always in mind I was so excited to find this amazing little website that had 34 DIY headboards for you to get inspiration from. These are my favourite ones all of which I could easily see fitting in to my own daydream home.

I had the perfect weekend by relaxing standards. There was lots of sleep catch up, long walks, Europe bookings and quality couch time with Mr M, topped off with a BBQ last night with good friends and cold cider. I had wanted to sink my teeth in to some little DIY projects Ive been dying to get around to but it seems finding accommodation for our upcoming Europe trip took the priority spot again. As we head in to another week full of unknowns, to do lists, meetings and dinner dates, here is what is catching my eye this week on Pinterest.

It's starting to get colder here in Perth (by my standards anyway) & I can't wait to start rugging up in warm winter knits and furs (faux of course)

I would love to do my room in all white with pops of colour only coming from beautiful fresh flowers displayed near big window sills

I read this over the weekend and fell in L.O.V.E - it gave me immediate inspiration to stay strong with all my big hopes and dreams and turn my own cants in to cans

Ever since my Bali getaway and my daily morning banana pancakes I crave them constantly

I saw this dainty hearts garland and immediately knew I have to add this to my DIY 'to do' list. I would use the pages of an old love story

I am going in to today after having the most incredibly fun past 4 days. We just had our long 4 day Easter Weekend and I made sure I filled it with a good mix of going out, staying in, yummy baking, fun adventuring, catching up with friends and having some quiet moments with Mr M, some of which will be shared on here over the next few days. As my quest of finding the perfect balance in life continues I seem to be getting more inspired than ever with cute DIY's (dying to do the wallpaper frames for my office), recipes I can bake over weekends and quotes that inspire. Here are the 5 things that are currently catching my eye this week.

I'm crushing any/all things knit at the moment but this outfit inspired me to no end with it's seemingly warmth and gorgeous pastel colouring. I need to add all of these pieces to my wardrobe LOVE!

I'm constantly looking for aqua inspired design ideas for my own office at home and this just made me fall madly in l.o.v.e

There is never any harm, ever, in reminding yourself that you should be and deserve to be chasing the life exactly like you imagined. I know I am

Being new to my sweet tooth the first thing I have mastered to eat is cheesecake, this, coupled with my current obsession with cooking/presenting things in jars I am dying to give this recipe a go

I am doing some of my own DIY wallpaper at the moment but saw this pic of framed wallpaper and loved the idea to brighten up our lounge room wall

I had a crazy week last week with work and life in general so didn't get to post much - if at all! I'm back this week with lots of posts to share. Something I do always have time for however is finding inspiration in all things Pinterest. Here is my weekly round up of favourite things right now. From braided up do's to home decor I would love to have or do all of these things below.

Loving this up do braid - my next go to style for a wedding or big event

My minds organised mess

I have resisted for as long as hard as I could, but alas, my crazy organisational urges have given in. I'm talking about Pinterest people. I heard about it middle of last year, and thought there is no way I need one more online 'thing' to occupy my spare time that is already split between my business, blog, and other social media sites. I resisted, I really did. Sure I used it, constantly, for inspiration, ideas, pretty pictures, but I never wanted my own account where I would see my hours slip away. That all changed a few weeks ago when I couldn't resist any more. I know we all love Pinterest, so I thought I would start a weekly segment where I put up my favourite 'finds' in 5 categories - Fashion, Home Decor, Quotes, Recipies and DIY's. This is my first week so from one Pinterest fan to another, here are 5 things I'm currently l.o.v.i.n.g.

I love everything about this picture & need that bright orange clutch and divine fur coat

I fell in love with this quote as I realised me wanting to give up on my big dreams sometimes isn't a sign of weakness, just a sign that they are big.
