Loves, Lusts, and Inspirations #2

Hi everyone!

I thought I would do another post (and pictures) on everything that im loving, lusting after, or just finding really inspiring at the moment, so here goes :)

 Inspirations and Lust:
For some reason, I cant seem to stop buying home improvement/interior/makeover magazines, such as Good Homes, Ideal Home, Cath Kidston magazine, Your Home ect. Im so completely inspired by all the fabulous makeovers, make-and-do projects, and transformations, I'm wanting to do them all - I just need pots of money to do them, so if anyone knows what this weeks winning Lotto numbers will be, speak up! 


Im also constantly on Your Home Online, which has lots of crafty stuff too, so if you havnt seen it, I really recommend checking that out here for great tutorials, from upholstering a headboard, making a heart corkboard, to making gorgeous fabric roses :)


Im also addicted to property/makeover/crafty type programs like Homes Under The Hammer, Location,Location,Location, 60MM, ect too, so all poor Simon is hearing at the minute, is how I want to change this room, re-decorate that room, and I think he is scared that if he moves an inch, I will re-upholster him! 
Does anybody else go through phases of wanting to change EVERYTHING in their home?


Loves #1:
Im really loving the giveaways, swapsies, blog awards and just general friendliness of the Blogger 'community', I havent been blogging very long, but Im really enjoying it, and I love reading other peoples thoughts and opinions in their blog posts. Since I posted my first blog post, I have 'met' lots of great people who leave lovely comments of encouragement, praise, and general friendly chit-chat.  Love it! :)


Loves #2:
Another current 'Love', is for fruity herbal tea. Im usually a devout coffee drinker, but every now and again, for some strange reason, I have a fruit-tea-drinking phase. My current favorites in particular is the Twinings a moment of calm Cherry and Cinnamon, or Twinings fruit bliss Cranberry, Raspberry and Elderflower -  yum yum :)


Obviously, it is a MUST that any sort of tea is drunk out of very cute teacups :)


What are YOUR current Loves, Lusts and Inspirations?

I Heart Teacups

Hi everyone!

I was having a wonder through Google images, and I came across some fabulous pictures of  beautiful teacups that have been transformed in ways that have completely inspired me, (especially the teacup candle, I may have a go at these!)
I simply HAD to share them with you :)

                                      

                                             Aww, I just love this doggy bed!

                     For some reason, this picture reminds me of Alice In Wonderland!

                                                  I adore teacup candles!

                                                      This is lovely!
                                                how sweet is this bird table?


                                                    this is stunning!


How amazingly inspirational are these pictures? And who knew that teacups could be so versatile?
(I think my gluegun will be getting some action now i've seen these :)

Have you transformed an everyday object into something completely new and beautiful?
