behind closed doors...

All images from Design Sponge

Today a peek inside the home of Sibella Court - care of Design Sponge, a great site for snooping around other people's lovingly styled homes. Sibella has a shop in Sydney which is a cross between a haberdashery and a hardware store. She specialises in textiles, homeware and furniture, check out the online store, here. These shots are from her home which is above the store. If these images are anything to go by I would love to have a roam around her shop and see what fantastical things I could find.



The kitchen shot is my favourite, all those utensils stacked up in one place. It has a happy sense of chaos to it. So eclectic and 'real'. Not styled or contrived, just the evolvement of somebody's life and the things they accumulate as they journey through it.

they way I want to live...

I want to live in a house that is white, but not sterile, I'm thinking soft, gentle and peaceful. Loads of different textures but all tones of white and cream, with a bit of bleached wood thrown in for good measure. Colour would be used as an accent throughout but everything would be held together by this gorgeous white canvas.

Now I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea, and some would think that a white house would be cold and unwelcoming. But I came across Molly Frey's interiors and she has caught my mood exactly. Where are these houses she is styling, where are they?!? I want to gatecrash.

To me a white home is calm, peace, gentleness and would make a real haven to cocoon yourself in after a hard day. It would be a complete contrast to the chaotic London I live and work in. Perhaps this is why I crave it.
