Moroccan Inspired Seating...

Beautiful Bohemian seating area

Ultimate bohemian reading nook

Bohemian moroccan seating area

Kilim pillows, sheepskin throw and a corner seating area

Love the vinyl storage under the chairs

In the last post I featured conversation Pits, although beautiful they are rather large and probably not practical or financially possible in the normal home.

These Moroccan inspired seating areas above are a little more practical whilst a lot friendlier on the budget. A couple of Kilim pillows, a throw or two, maybe a small sheepskin, a worn teak or Jali table and you are on your way. Bohemian bliss!!

The TV and modern technology has taken over the home hasn't it? Where as at one time the sitting/living room was a room focused around a fire where families and friends could converse now we are all facing that big flat screen TV whilst tapping away on our Ipads. I am starting to get really bored with TV, and other than a few awesome series (Game of Thrones, The Wire, Breaking Bad etc...) really would not miss my TV anymore if it disapeared into the ether.

I am all for the idea of a conversation pit like the ones above, especially the one in the top image, then even if the conversation did get dry I would have the hills to look at :)

What do you guys reckon, should we blow up our TV's?


P.s ... Havin a night mare with adding links on my new computer so will add them when figured this thing out but for now all the images can be found on my PInterest... link top left of blog :)

Product: Clyde Oak's Root Basket

The Clyde Oak, Root basket. Perfect for storing vegetables and hanging in your kitchen

I love this Root basket from Clyde Oak. Inspired by traditional basket making of North Carolina's Cherokee peoples, the root basket is the perfect balance between form and function.  Ideally hung on the wall to keep root vegetables dry and accessible within the kitchen.  At $39 it is also a reasonable price for you lucky American Readers although I bet shipping to the UK would sadly cost a fortune.
