I have seen these little guys all over Pinterest and Tumblr recently. They are Himilayan Salt lamps, although from a rather embarrassing experience I can tell you they do not taste like salt :)

I have heard of a variety of  healing properties of salt lamps, from increasing Melatonin production, ionizing rooms, and cleansing your house of negative vibes. Personally I think they just look really awesome and give off a nice candle like light. Plus if you get a neutral tone one, not an orange, you can change the color light they give off with different colour light bulbs..

Bring back the Gramophone...

\Period home with History: Gramophone giant

Bedroom Gramophone

They are just faboulous arent they? I would smile for a year if I had one of these vintage beauties!!
If I wasn't so worried that if I got one it wouldn't work I would buy one tomorrow, I do just have really bad luck with electrical s..... of course it would look pretty even if it didn't work

However, for those scared of vintage electricals too, there are always the iphone Gramophones, which are still pretty darn cool?!?

Freunde von Freunden has quickly become one of my  favorite sites for home tours. This tour of jewellery designer Johanna Methusalemsdottir is no exception. Although the home is full of colour and layers of texture, it is such a calming home, and each element fits in so perfectly.

I have been totally obsessed with Kilim floor cushions for a few years but due to a 'new cushion' ban, imposed by my blokey, I still don't have one. However, a Vintage Berber kilim cushion is not technically 'New' is it? Hmmm!!

The home of... Biba's Barbara Hulanicki circa 1975

The home of... Biba's Barbara Hulanicki circa 1975
Barbara Hulanicki in the sitting-room, the window open to reveal a jungle of climbing plants outside. In the background, a collection of Art Deco glass below the enormous mirror, at least six feet in diameter. Everywhere lamps, small, fringed or mushroom-topped on long, slender stems: everywhere figures, ferns, flowers. In foreground, a set of black/silver/turquoise vases and modelled head on decorated brass tray and glass-sided table: replica of a twenties’ cigarette girl, now bearing a tray of jewellery.

A section of the studio. Beneath the gallery one discovers a sink, kettle. cooker below a thirties’ Grecian frieze. Art Deco chairs in peach moquette. Screen, with beaded shawl. purple plastic  grapes behind a delicate nasturtium-leaf lamp hung with beaded fringe

The bed, above, hung with shawls, scattered with sequinned brocaded cushions. Barbara Hulanicki reflected in the bedside mirror on the writing desk and in the centre of the mirrored bed-head. On the right, a peach mirror flex set of shelves, with photographs, figures, eight Art Deco plastic handbags

Looking down from the gallery into the studio, arranged into its separate “rooms”

The bath, a riot of peach and plastic flowers. Ornate brass taps, Art Deco screen. Brilliant blue glass, candlesticks and pearly plastic grapes

My god I love this place! Isn't it everything you would expect from Barbara Hulanicki? Over the top, eclectic and bohemian. A nightmare to dust though!!

"Barbara Hulanicki at home in one cavernous studio which she found three years ago and filled with Art Deco from floor to ceiling. Walls, ceiling, stairs, all painted a rich matt brown, merge into the shadowy interior; angles and lines are softened and blurred. Colours, not walls, mark out living areas, a different shade for each section of space. Light is filtered through the brown-tinted glass of the high, patterned perpendicular window and a long fanlight in the roof. A brown spiral staircase, leafy with plastic twisting plants, leads to a long gallery which forms the dressing-rooms. Everywhere, an endlessly intricate arrangement of colour, pattern, space; a deep, dark brown jungle of the ornamental, the exotic, the glittering."
