I thought this post might cheer Jo up and make her forget she’s sick. It is an apartment in a converted Victorian school house in London. With alot of re-configuring to make the space more liveable and bright, and some crazy eclectic designs, interior design studio Avocado Sweets turned this space into a super fun, totally creative and full of personality dwelling for the homeowners. Complete with Penguin book cover wall – look familiar Jo?

Looking for some kid space inspiration? Perhaps bold patterned wallpaper? Or simply some fun rooms? This post has it all, featuring designs by Los Angeles based JAC Interior Design. Their portfolio is bound to cure the blues….with a touch of blue. 😉

Not only do I love this Danish style sideboard “The Iconic” by Kira & Kira but their styling of this shoot at David Bromley‘s Secret Garden Byron Bay pushes all my buttons. Might just be my new happy space.

Stepping down a sloping site in Kew, Melbourne is this extension containing kitchen, dining and living rooms with master bedroom suite above. In the transition space between the old Edwardian house and the new is the staircase, with exposed oak framing, providing areas for display in the nearby study nook and adjacent hallway. Stepped House by Rob Kennon Architects.

I REALLY want a deep olivey-brown colour somewhere. This colour rocks. It’s “Burl” by Martha Stewart. Maybe for my dining room? Via Design*Sponge

Two houses ago I painted my bedroom chocolate brown (seen here – it wasn’t dark enough). I LOVED it. It was such a soothing colour. I want a shade of chocolate like above in my bedroom again. Via The Design Files.

I was thinking a really dark teal would be cool in the kitchen. Otherwise maybe a deep navy. Not sure if it’s matt black or navy in the above photo but lets pretend it’s navy. I also have black countertops and white cabinets so this is a good representation of how it would look in my space. Lovely! Via Sköna hem.

My husband flipped out when I mentioned I would love to paint the walls and the ceilings whatever room colours I choose. This is to show him that maybe white is ok. (Except in our case it would be white ceiling, grey walls, mahogany baseboards and yellow stained floors. Bleh. Via Fantastic Frank.

As much as I don’t really know what to do with green walls, I am a fan of this shade of green. Looks great with that pale pink. Via Dos Family.
