A FEW SIMPLE CHANGES // DECOR

A SMALL SPACE TO RELAX

Decor in a home can really make it feel like a new place. simple changes from a lamp to an art piece.

There is nothing more relaxing then a long warm soak during the cold winter months and the idea of a spa feeling is ideal.
For the last few years, we have been working on changing things.
Two areas that i am really frustrated with are small areas but really need something done - namely the WC and the bathroom. The WC is basically a smaller version of a half bathroom, minus a sink (something i still am not use too). The space is small and boring.

The other space is the washroom which includes the washer dryer, sink and tub. Again not a big space and lacking storage. Nowhere to hang towels or store personal items.So this is my challenge fixing these 2 areas .

Here are some ideas for a few simple changes to a bathroom

NATURAL NATURE FEELING

Give it a spa feel with natural materials, rattan baskets, wooden fixtures and palm prints. Definitely a relaxing space. Time to grab the loofah and soak in the tub.

CLASSIC BLACK, WHITE with SILVER

Another option is simple black and white with silver accessories.

This a more classic option which I really do like.

A bit more of a pricey option with additional work.

i.e. white sinks, cabinets and tub

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of? Okay maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars gorgeous , flawless and h

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top that I wear as a coverup) This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for summer. JUST BLENDING IN CHECKERBOARD ANYONE? find out more about her work here Thandiwe via BBC images via Thandiwe Murui
