The ultimate source of  bohemian moon lighting - The candle

 It doesn't matter what colour the walls or how many beautiful furnishings you have if a room is too bright or too dingy it wont help you achieve the chilled out vibe you are looking for. Lighting can be used to great effect to improve not only the look of a room but also your mood.

Light therapy has been used for centuries and many ancient cultures practised various forms of 'heliotherapy', including Ancient Greece, Egypt and Rome. The Inca, Assyrian and early German settlers also worshipped the sun as a health bringing deity.

I am a big fan of candle light, I swear the world seems like such a better place without any electrical interference. I am a big fan of power cuts :)




If you love the vintage look I thoroughly suggest you check out Goldstone Studios beautiful vintage lamps. They are just stunning!!

I am a little stressed at the moment (although I am pretending to myself I am not). So this post is dedicated to my favourite place the bathroom. As I have mentioned a million times I love my baths. I step in and leave my cares outside the door. Heaven.

The top photo is dedicated to the lovely Denise aka Boho Girl so glad you have found your sparkle xxxx

Bohemian interior - Simply seleta

I am on the look out for some 'art' for my walls. I am in love with that illustration above from anthropologie but at nearly £2000 I dont think my student budget will stretch :(

At the moment I am browsing ebay and charity shops, but hopefully will be going to an auction soon, how exciting.

I am hooked. Yesterday I brought myself a black velvet jacket. I haven't had one of those since I was 14, listening to nirvana, had purple hair and my silver doctor martins! It feels so unbelievably soft, I just want to sleep in it. It has defiantly fuelled my new passion for velvet. Now I really really want a velvet sofa, I may have to make do with some velvet cushions though.

My velvet finds:

Louis chair from Habitat

For those of you who are doers rather than dreamers the Louis velvet chair and sofa range from Habitat is stunning and would look great when worn in.

Toast

For me, a dreamer, I think I will be getting one of these beautiful velvet cushions from Toast.

After a very snowy Christmas, spending lots of time on the sofa watching cheesy films I have been inspired. I am currently on the look out for a grey velvet sofa like the one in the first picture but that is as low as the one in the second. I can dream.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas. xxx
