Collections: African and Asian Masks

Francesco Clemente


I love African and Indonesian Masks, mainly due to my fathers collection. I remember friends saying that they found them scary, but I have always seen them as interesting friendly faces, in particular one we used to call Courgette... a huge long stripy one.

Bohemian Bedroom Inspiration...

Dreamy Summer Bedroom Inspiration

Cozy bed nook
Earthy natural bedroom
Cozy bedroom
Check out that Headboard!!
A combination of demand feeding a three week old hungry Alex and healing from my c-section mean that sitting anywhere but my bedroom or on my sofa is pretty much out of the question for me at the moment.... meaing even more time spent on Pinterest drooling over beautiful interiors.

Here are a few of my favorite bohemian style Bedrooms from the last couple of weeks... the first however is definitely my favorite... yet again a room with a mattress on the floor wins my vote!

The Home of.... Greg Rogrove and Diana Garcia










I am on official maternity leave now, after 4 weeks of sick leave for ongoing nerve problems in my foot.... ouch! In this time before my little dude arrives I have found myself less and less mobile due to the pain, and I am trying to avoid the opiates prescribed, so have spent my time reading, starting my masters essay and browsing through blogs and websites for content for Moon to Moon and recipes for better health..... and a lot of mind over pain meditation.... great for now and the birth (I hope)

 I am afraid I have never been a good blog style writer and with the ongoing pain am finding it even harder to write blog posts, so I apologize..... but I am by no means stopping, in fact I am more inspired than ever at the moment to share my discoveries.. just maybe with less writing and more etsy, ebay and other small artist/makers discoveries.

This is one of my recent discoveries that I missed when it was originally published last year on Freunde von Freunden. I just love the light and green hues in this place. Such an inspiring couple!

Here is a small extract from the original interview from Freunde von Freunden

Greg is a musician who, in the last few years, realized he needed a place to call home. He practices on an old, upright, white piano – a gift from Diana – in a sun-filled room at the front of their house. He toured for years with Devendra Banhart and the Grogs, Priestbird and MEGAPUSS – a project he and Devendra formed with The Strokes’ Fabrizio Moretti. Like so many musicians, his definition of home was the contents of one suitcase and a backpack. He came to LA to record an album and the weather and the surf persuaded him to stay. Renting a trailer on Paradise Lane at the top of Topanga Canyon, he bought a ’77 El Camino for a few thousand dollars and started thinking about settling down. Then, he met Diana.
Diana adamantly defies definition. She has an impressive film resume, including a role in the Sundance award-winning film, Sin Nombre. She is also an incredibly talented artist, known for creating imagery of imaginary animals that ‘represent being what we can dream’. Having once made a living selling her artwork on the streets of New York, her work is now commissioned by cities and festivals around the world.

P.s..... A big congratulations to the Lovely Georgie Kellitt and Family on the arrival of your little girl xxxx

Bohemian Nursery inspiration
I thought I would share some of my current favorite bohemian and natural nurseries from the Web. It is funny I thought for once I would try and choose a theme and stick to it for our nursery but there is so much beautiful stuff out there, and so many thrifty bargains that ours is going to look just as much of an eclectic jumble as the rest of the house!

Don't Hate... Meditate.. Creating your own Meditation space

Beautiful Meditation space
Photographer Mark Borthwicks Home

Floating bed and a sheepskin throw: meditation space

Mediation Space

Ommmmmmmm
I have been a regular secret meditator for about 10 years, although I guess anyone who knows me wouldn't be in the slightest bit surprised by the news...... It is not that I am embarrassed, it's just for me a very personal experience. I have been to a number of Meditation sessions at different centers but I am a happy lone meditator.

In an ideal world I would love some beach or mountain view, but really with a cushion, a little slice of nature (houseplants) some yummy incense or and a candle, any space can be turned into your own little comfort zone to un-scatter your mind and breathe.....

"Words cannot express quite a lot of feelings,
 whereas a noise or tone or drone or sound,
 an accordion falling down a staircase,
 can somehow capture an emotion much better"
