So, I have all these fabulous ideas for crafts and decorating on my Easter Pinterest board. I have the best intentions of having a go at most of them, then I never quite find the time. Do you? I wanted to share some of them with you, maybe you could try them and show me! I particularly love the easter egg garland, so cute!
So … then I found some gorgeous handmade things on Etsy, but they don’t ship to Australia, Bugger!
So, then I found these great handmade things from some local artist and crafters.
Oh, I also had great intentions of setting my table like this on Easter Sunday, Hmmm I don’t think that is going to happen this year either … Oh well, there’s always next year!
Yesterday I was lucky enough to be invited to the unveiling of ‘The Wardrobe’ by Roxy Jacenko and Pixie Curtis. It was a walk-in robe full of beautiful clothes, shoes you only dream of and handbags to make you swoon, but all I could look at was the white lacquered walls with parisian mouldings and carefully curated little vignettes amongst the shelves. Wardrobes are no longer just a place to hang your clothes. They are a place to appreciate your clothes and display your favourite pieces.
But first, lets all ooh and aah at Pixie Curtis! Roxy and Pixie looked stunning in their matching Dolce and Gabbana dresses. Roxy was fabulous, friendly, smart, stylish and motivated, but I have to say all eyes were on Pixie, she’s such a little doll!
Here’s a couple of snaps of ‘The Wardrobe’. I love the wall hooks to display your favourite pieces, and the little vignettes created on every level. It felt more like a boutique, and why shouldn’t it?
It sparked my interest to see what is happening in the world of wardrobes, here’s a few I found that will make you weak at the knees!
What about this one by Marie Flanigan Interiors, you can hide all your mess and your wardrobe still looks spectacular!
This one with the dressing table is spectacular, from House Beautiful on Pinterest.
And lastly, yes this is a wardrobe, not a boutique! I couldn’t find the original source, from Pinterest.
So, the question is, how can we get a little wardrobe luxury at home (without winning the lotto). I’ve come up with a list of 10 things that I think will help to give you a killer wardrobe.
1. Add a few wall hooks to display your favourite pieces. This is a pretty easy one to to do, you could even use them to hang out your clothes for the next day, if your a planner (unlike me).
2. Add fresh flowers, why not? Not a huge, expensive bunch, just a little posy picked from the garden would be lovely.
3. The hero piece in any wardrobe would have to be a chandelier, don’t you agree? If you can find a chandelier at the right price, this really isn’t all that expensive considering the statement it will make.
4. Create little vignettes, use handbags, jewellery, boxes, candles and books.
5. Can you squeeze in a dressing table? Yes? Then go for it, Lucky You!
6. Pop a little chair or ottoman in there, it’s a lot easier to put shoes on sitting down anyway.
7. Have you got a full length mirror, it surprises me how many wardrobes don’t, if you don’t, get yourself one. You can stick one to the back of your door with special 2 sided tape.
8. Colour code and sort your clothes, everything will look so much calmer if your wardrobe is organised by style and colour, and before you ask, no … my wardrobe isn’t either, but I’m working on it!
9. Get yourself matching coat hangers, I know, it’s not at the top of my priority list either, but matching coat hangers look so much nicer. If you can afford it go for wooden ones, very luxe.
10. Pick up all the crap from the floor, AHEM … this may be directed at myself! Any wardrobe will look bigger, brighter and better if it is clean, organised and free from piles of clothes.
Are you inspired to give your wardrobe a spruce up over Easter? Me to! I’ll show you mine if you show me yours, Deal?
Today I’m talking about leopard, zebra, tiger and giraffe prints, lizard, alligator and snake skins, tortoise shells, feathers and all things animal. Do you like these in your home, or should they stay in the jungle?
Myself, I love a bit of leopard print, snake skin and tortoise shell. If your home has a global, eclectic or british colonial vibe, animal prints will be right at home. I also think you can mix a couple of pieces into most decorating schemes. It’s all about picking the right piece for your home, and please use it sparingly, there is a fine line between trendy and tacky where animal print is concerned. Here are a few gorgeous interiors that got the balance just right.
Love those velvet, leopard print cushions and those lamps are the perfect compliment.
I particularly love the colour scheme here, the pop of green keeps it young and modern. If you compliment animal prints with colours they are found with in nature, it generally works well. For example; the leopard print with the green of a tropical jungle, perfection.
This eclectic room with a tropical vibe is so inviting, I adore the zebra print ottoman.
This room has a few touches of Zebra print, on the floor, the cushions and the small ottomans, it might be a little bit too much for my taste, but the divine Louis Vuitton trunk makes up for it!
I’ve found some seriously fabulous pieces to share with you. I particularly love the snake skin pot pouches from a little, local business, Miss Pots Pouches. And the gorgeous Jungle Love cushions are on my wish list, aren’t they fabulous, they are from Kreo Home.

Animal print in my home? I don’t have much but I am definitely on the hunt for a few more pieces. I have a large vintage turtle shell hanging on my wall, It is one of my favourite pieces, I got it from a lady who was given it as a gift on her honeymoon in Fiji over 60 years ago. I also have a pair of turtle shell glass votives that you will see often in my photos. I have just ordered one of the gorgeous snakeskin pot pouches as shown above (not sponsored, just love) and will share them with you when I receive them.
Do you know of any fabulous animal print pieces that I need to know about, Share! Or do you have some in your home? I’d love to see it, Please show me!
