I am currently making my way through a pile of books that I brought whilst at university and now I have finished studying, have actually got time to read... there are no anatomy or theory books amongst them...

I have just started Lolita, what are you currently reading? Any recommendations?

Beautiful bohemian interior, seagrass carpet and leather chairs : Martyn Lawrence- Bullard

Bohemian garden: All of a sudden I want to drink champagne cocktails :)

What can I say but wow! What luxury! I love these bohemian style rooms all from Martyn Lawrence-Bullard design. I have a bit of an obsession with rich velvet sofas and vintage rugs at the moment and that top picture ticks both those boxes.

I am off to my parents in Snowdonia for my Birthday but will be back on Sunday to anounce the winner of the Bohemia Kilim bag Give away

Alexandra Valenti is the talented Austin photographer behind numerous Sisters of the black Moon photo shoots as well as working with Heyoka Leather and shooting for Free people. One look at her web site and you will recognise tons of her photos that have done the rounds on tumblr and pintrest.

Alexndra's pictures of her home were originally posted on the free people blog and I just had to share with you. Her bohemian home is so beautiful, I just love that kitchen! However , all though they look great, those stacked books would just be a disaster waiting to happen in my house as I am so very clumsy.

Hope you all have a great weekend...

The rather elegant home of Tarajia Morrell....

Lovely Sepia Toned books.... p.s that Jamie at home book is  beyond wonderful

Loving that grass green sofa!

I am pretty obsessed with Style like U. I just find it so enthralling listening to people talk about their clothes and homes, I am genuinely so interested in peoples lives and stories (I guess that is also why I love nursing). I can really relate to a number of the guests but others are just so different from me and it is those guys that I like listening to.

I have picked the home of  Tarajia Morrell ,owner of fab food blog the Lovage ,to share as it is just so elegant in a way that clumsy old me could never be. That dressing table top is so glam and I just love that beautiful vintage sparkly dress.  Make sure you check out the video found here.

Are there any good interior or design blogs that you guys are currently obsessed with? Let me know as I am starting to build up a good links roll below.

Bohemian conservatory interior

Beautiful, light and airy conservatory style living

Houseboat, wooden floating home

Just wow! - Glass and steel framed living room

Conservatory/ sitting room (A reblog, sorry)

When I was younger my friend Charlotte's parents house had a kitchen extension that was kind of like the first picture. I was so in love with the light airy-ness(?) of that room and have always thought that eventually this is what I would like to aim for in my own home. So now we may potentially be buying our rented house off the landlord maybe just maybe I can get my dream.

Danielle's wonderful jewellery range 'onwards into the future' is available via - Sisters of the black moon.
