Before I look for my olympus camera batteries, let me share with you what I just came across a while ago.  I was at House To Home website and saw a few beautiful home images which I would love for my home to be like.  They are very inspiring.

I would love to have an exposed brickwall inside my house or on the porch.

An all-white kitchen filled with rustic furniture such as the vintage wood table and cupboard.

I love the all-white living room with a splash of colours from the furniture.

I was at OhDeeDoh and saw this cute coffee table made from cable spool.  You know how much I love furniture or knick-knacks made from recycled items eh?  Not only is this a great idea as table, I also love how this wooden cable spool offers storage for books around the edge. Very inspiring. If only I can get my hands one.  I would love to turn it into bedside table for me where I can lay down my glacier sunglasses, a vase and a cup of coffee.

I just saw a few beautifully decorated space at Skonahem.com.  They are so inspiring.

I love the white sofa with lots of colourful cushion.  I think I can lounge there the whole day.

I like the island and the sofa in the kitchen.  If I am not mistaken, the dining area is outdoor or perhaps in a little indoor garden on the right of the kitchen.  Love that.

So loving the wooden flooring and the potted plants at the balcony.  The bright and airy space is just beautiful.

Right now, besides lusting over a bulova watch, I am also in love with Graypants’ Scrap Lights.  The pendant scrap lights are made from stack rings of corrugated cardboards.  Ain’t that something?  The beautiful lamps are constructed using discarded cardboards.  I cannot believe that something elegant can be created with just cardboards.  Great designs together with a love for the environment can do wonders.  I would love to have a pendant lamp like this in my home.

Do you know what I want my dream home to be like?  A home with simple decor, has wood flooring and lots of natural light.  I just love a home with large scale windows.  You can soak up in the sun without leaving the house.  How about that? Before I find a storage box to keep the recycled toner cartridges, let me show you a few images of my dream home.

I love the big windows in this kitchen

While my spouse was busy looking up the incredible s price from his favorite online store, I was on my laptop, admiring the beautiful wall which was covered with scrap pallet planks.  You know how much I love looking at re-purpose furniture from wooden pallets.  Katie from MomandHerDrill.blogspot.com made this wood plank wall out of scrap pallets. She removed the ring shank nails from the pallets and put together the wall all by herself.  Isn’t that amazing?  Who would have thought of using scrap pallets to cover the wall eh?  I am so inspired.

I love the coffee sacks.  They are so unique and I love its colour and texture.  There are many creative people out there who have re-purposed burlap coffee sacks.  I just saw some inspiring coffee sack creations on some home decor blogs.  The sacks are turned into framed wall decor, cushions, Christmas stockings, inspiration board and etc.  The natural wear and tear look add some shabby chic style to the decor.

I came across some really cool accessories for home from Elvis & Kresse last night.  Thought I would share them with you here. Elvis & Kresse collect fire brigade hoses from genuine de-commissioned British fire stations and turn them into lifestyle accessories.   50% of  their profits go back to the Fire Fighters Charity.  Here are the stylish items made from reclaimed fire hose for the home.

Oh we are almost at the end of August already.  Looks like summer is going to end soon.  Where has the time gone?  I love this image which I saw at Simply Grove.  It reminds me of summer a lot.  I always love a home with bright and airy windows.  I just can’t get enough of the natural light in the home.   The home decor is so simple and cozy.  Check out the colourful sofas.  They look so comfortable too.  It would be wonderful just to relax in a home like this on a warm summer night, reading a book or watching tv while the kids are playing on the nintendo ds. Bliss.
