Louboutin's Art

Louboutin's

Acrylic on canvas

My latest painting of Louboutin heels,  I did this especially for a lovely friend of mine.

I adore Christian Louboutin heels and would love to own a pair one day, still not sure I'll be able to walk in these seriously high heels though!  Love the contrast of black and red, perfect for a painting, this one was a lot harder and took longer to complete than my usual perfume paintings but I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

I'm actually now working on creating prints of my original artwork to sell, will keep you all updated! Thanks again for all your supportive comments!

New Kitchen Accessories

Teapot, milk jug and sugar pot: Cath Kidston

Pastel measuring cups: M&S

Glass storage jars: Achica

Some new additions to my kitchen, finally got myself a teapot, it was a bargain from Cath Kidston sale, the matching sugar bowl and milk jug were a present from a friend, can't wait to host my next tea party!  The measuring cups I bought purely to match my pastel coloured mixing bowls, I just adore pretty looking bakeware.  I was recently browsing Achica again and got myself these lovely vintage style glass storage jars, they really were such a bargain, they are still sitting empty on my shelf as can't decide what to fill them with, I think have an obsession developing with pretty storage containers and tins...

Dream kitchen Inspiration

Planar cream - Streamlined sophistication,inspired by European minimalism

Tatton kitchen - a chic twist on traditional panelling

Loving the pull out larder and instant hot water tap

Ever since I moved into my new house all those years ago, I've dreamed about having the perfect kitchen, even though our house was a new build, I wasn't that impressed with the kitchen options they had so we just settled for a kitchen I wasn't really happy with, black worktops with oak/beech units.  Many people seem to think it's nice but I'm really fussy and I know what I like!

My dream kitchen would definitely be white, yes I've an obsession with having everything white! I love the look of wooden worktops with white cupboards and units, a huge kitchen island would be my ultimate dream if I had the space!  Storage is really important to me and must be functional too.  I am more drawn towards a modern looking kitchen, but not sure how modern I would go, some of the traditional ones have some lovely features.  To be totally honest, I'm not ripping out my old kitchen and installing a dream kitchen anytime soon but it doesn't stop me browsing all the kitchen websites and planning what I would love to have.

So I've been looking at Magnet kitchen ranges and they have some gorgeous new fitted kitchens, such a great range to suit any style, modern, traditional or a mix of both, my favourites from their range are pictured above, obviously had to be white with lovely wooden work tops.  Their designs are of a high quality from simple and sleek to high end with fittings to suit any budget so you don't need to spend a fortune on your dream kitchen!  Everything has been well planned in their designs and you can choose features such as innovative storage ideas or an instant water tap!  I also discovered some great online tools such as My kitchen scrapbook and a virtual 3D kitchen planner.

I'm quite impressed with Magnet kitchens and will definitely consider them in them in the future when I can have my very own dream kitchen!  

Have you had a new kitchen recently or still dreaming like me?!

Chanel Nail Polishes Art

Chanel Nail Polishes painting

Acrylic on deep edge canvas

These are just a few of the recent Chanel nail polishes commissions I've painted for customers.  The nail polish colours were their favourite shades chosen by them.

The hardest part was mixing the right colours to try and get the shade as close as possible to the actual nail polish colour.  I think they turned out pretty close to the real colours.  Although I am a perfectionist, I try not to get too worked up about the detail as it is a painting inspired by Chanel, very difficult to not keep on perfecting the painting!  Loved painting Chanel nail polishes, a simple iconic design just looks amazing on canvas.

Bedroom Inspiration: Shades Of Grey

Grey and white are my favourite colours for home interiors especially the bedroom.  I'm currently redecorating my bedroom in white and grey, the perfect neutral colours for a modern minimal style bedroom. I'm planning on having a grey feature wall and already have white furniture.

These are my inspiration images that I'll use for ideas, love the beautiful shades of grey and textures in the cushions and throws.  The grey desk lamp looks perfect in these bedrooms and am seriously thinking about buying one, I've already spotted one in Ikea!  A feature wall in grey or patterned grey wallpaper just transforms the rooms, I don't think it's a dull colour at all!  Also love the black and white art work and prints and all the different ways you can style a bedside table.

All images are pinned on my Pinterest board here.

What colours do you have in your bedroom?
