Heartfire At Home - Creating Interiors With Soul

It's Beginning To Look Alot Like Christmas! Guest Post re Inexpensive Holiday Decorating...

noreply@blogger.com (Heartfire At Home) — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 12:12:00 +0000

Today I'm very pleased to welcome Chris Long with a fab article about decorating for the holiday season.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to wish all my readers and bloggy friends a simply wonderful Christmas. I'll be taking a nice vacation to enjoy my holidays!

The Holiday Home: Inexpensive Outdoor Decorating

With Christmas just a week or so away, the tree is decorated, the lights aglow, and the stockings hung by the fire, ready for a visit from friends and family. But for many, there is one last element to welcoming the holidays, and it isn't a grumpy uncle or a bunch of wild nieces. It's the entrance through which we welcome these loved ones to our home.

No matter how close it is to Christmas, it is never too late to address the outside of the home, and additional decorating doesn't have to dip into the money that has been carefully saved for gifts. The spirit of Christmas can make its mark on the outside as much as the inside with a few key ingredients: greenery, decorations, and bows.

Following are simple, inexpensive, and tasteful ways to welcome Santa Claus before he even sees the Christmas tree:

Repurposed Ornaments: Anyone who celebrates the holidays with a Christmas tree likely has more ornaments than even the most agile evergreen can hold. And a box is no place for a decoration to spend the holidays. Whether adorning the limbs of the front-porch potted plants or hanging out with class and style from the cedars that guard the front door, the spirit of a Christmas tree can easily tie together the interior and exterior of the home. For larger trees that populate the front yard, seek out oversized ornaments from your local holiday store and use them to make a strong statement. Christmas is an oversized holiday, and it doesn't take too much to bring the larger-than-life vibe to the front yard.

Christmas Greenery: Artificial or natural greenery? The choice is yours. The truth is that holiday greenery will suck the air out of any inflatable lawn decoration with its dignified appearance. The perfect balance of greenery will not only add character to the front door, but it will have the columns, porch railings, and lampposts celebrating.

Decorative Bows: The aforementioned bow isn't simply an accent for the greenery that adorns the front door or the porch. A festive bow can stand on its own, bringing beauty to the entryway of the house, and even the grand oak that stretches its noble branches across the front yard. Most holiday stores can provide a pre-made, vibrant red bow to meet any decorating needs, but to truly add a unique and personal touch, head to the craft store and find the material that is right for your own home. By choosing the perfect material, the right length, and a welcoming color, the only limitations for this holiday bow are the imagination.

There was a time when holiday decorating meant a well-lit and decorated Christmas tree situated near a window to allow passers-by to view it. These days, the tree is just one component of the celebration, and the outside of the home – from the front door to the lawn – is a winter canvas ready to be adorned. With a classic mix of holiday decorations, from greenery to bows, any home can sing with the Christmas spirit without breaking the bank.

A Marvellous New Shop To Visit!

noreply@blogger.com (Heartfire At Home) — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 11:19:00 +0000

WOW! Time flies by when you're super busy and drawn away from the computer! It's been ages, and I've been super slack blog wise.

I may be absent again for a while.... it's finally looking like Summer over here in Aus, my work ends for the year this Friday, and I'm off to a lovely beach holiday over the Christmas/New Year period (I'm super lucky to have a brother who lives in a glorious beach-side town - yay for cheap accommodation!)

So, I'll probably take some time off on an extended blog break to enjoy the great outdoors and life in general.

But, I did want to stop in a couple of times before Christmas.

I just had to make sure I introduced you to a lovely new shop in case you still have some Christmas shopping to do.

My wonderful friend Bobbi, who blogs over at The Lazy Designer, has recently started up her very own Etsy shop.

Bobbi runs the most marvellous boutique store in real life in a beautiful part of Italy. She makes and sews the most amazing objects, clothes and jewellery. I keep telling her she should sell her photography too as it's just divine!

Meet Molly. She's a cat, but she is also a throw pillow. She's cute and soft you'll love to cuddle her. Her front body, cheeks and tummy are made with a wool fabric, her eyes and nose with a black cotton jersey and her back body is in black cotton. Her features such as her eyes, nose, tummy and paws are hand stitched with black cotton.

Don't you just love her!?

You can also find lovely jewellery.... can you guess Bobbi's favourite colour by looking around?

Check out Bobbi's fabulous store here. Anything you buy helps support her large furry family who live with her in a little cottage. The more cats Bobbi can help, the happier she is!

I can't believe how talented some people are.

Guest Post - Autumn Decorating....

noreply@blogger.com (Heartfire At Home) — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 11:24:00 +0000

Today I'm very pleased to welcome a guest post by Jessica Phan about decorating during Autumn. Autumn is my favourite time of year, and whilst it's getting close to Summer over here in Australia, it's Autumn for half the world - you lucky things!

*******

Beyond Blooms: Decorating with Natural Accessories

Autumn is officially here and many people are inspired to decorate their home with the shades of nature. When the leaves start to turn colors, turn to the elements of the season to transform your home into a warm, inviting haven. Here are a few simple ideas to help you customize your décor this fall.

Decorate with Bark:

Create interesting picture frames to hold your favorite family memories with the help of bark. The outer layer of the tree's bark features varying textures and colors that add an interesting touch to old picture frames.

Head to a nearby woodshop or lumber yard and purchase a few sheets of bark. Cut these into squares or rectangles, big enough to be inserted into the frame. Next, trim your picture so that it's smaller than the sheets. Stick the picture in the middle and you have a unique nature-inspired border.

If you want to add color, you can paint a thin layer over the sheet. Pick autumn colors like red, yellow, and orange to emphasize the texture of the bark.

Wooden Tables:

Store-bought wooden tables can be expensive, especially if they're professionally carved and varnished. Instead of buying a new one, keep a look out for tree stumps that you can customize to fit your home. When you find one, paint a layer of varnish over it to keep it looking fresh and termite-free.

You can also use tree stumps as side tables to prop up other design elements in your home.

For something more unique, use several pieces of large driftwood as a base for your table. Glue and nail them together, ensuring both the top and bottom are aligned. If there are odd pieces sticking out, cut and file them out, as you want a sturdy base for the table top glass. Once the glass is in place, you now have a homemade table perfect for the living room or the entertainment area.

Autumn Tree-branch Arrangement:

Since autumn is known for bare branches and the crunch of fallen leaves, bring those elements into your home using materials culled from your own backyard. If you don't have access to a garden, the park is a great place to look for these materials.

Collect dried branches and leaves in varying shades and lengths. Some trees have multi-colored leaves that are perfect for adding life to decor. You can also look for pebbles or rocks to serve as a base for the branches.

Once you have everything, get a tall, clear vase and fill it with pebbles or rocks. Stick the branches in any order and finish it off with a sprinkle of autumn leaves. This vase arrangement is a great way to bring the scenery of autumn into your home.

Wall Decor:

Who says you can only hang art work on your wall?

Wood weavings, wood chips, and old birds' nests that have been flattened and dried make for great wall décor.

Juxtapose the beauty of the outdoors with the home's interiors by framing them or sticking them right on the walls.

Wood chips, for example, add texture to painted walls and create great conversation starters when you have guests over.

Decorate old birds' nests with pine cones and other knick-knacks and hang these as wall décor over the mantel or on doors.

Incorporating nature into your home décor is easy. Just remember to keep yourself inspired by enjoying the beauty of the outdoors. Take a stroll around the local park or your own backyard to look for new elements that can turn any home into a warm, inviting place for friends and families to gather.

Happy Weekend - A Lovely Living Room In Spain

noreply@blogger.com (Heartfire At Home) — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 12:34:00 +0000

Happy weekend lovelies!

I've been super busy with the Tiny Tidy Challenge, so I must apologise for my lack of posting over here.

Hopefully I'll be more organised next week!

Image from Elmueble

I love the lightness of this living and dining room. It belongs to a gorgeous home in Spain.... I really do think the light has a special quality over there. I'm determined to get over there and check it out one day!

I hope the weather is good for you wherever you are this weekend. We're finally going to get a nice day here, although I think it's back to dreary weather next week. Already nearly a month of Spring gone and I feel like I'm still in Winter.

The blossom on the trees is starting to come out though, so that's good!

If Only I Were A Child Again....

noreply@blogger.com (Heartfire At Home) — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 14:01:00 +0000

I'd want to be here.

Images from Nicety

I LOVE the fact that there's superb display shelves for books in this children's play area. Every child should have access to beautiful stories and books - don't you think?

Great storage too.

What an amazing space for a child to be in.

In fact, if it were in my home, I'd be in there all day - who cares how old I am!!

Linda. xox

PS. There's quite a few more videos over on the Tiny Tidy Challenge private blog for those of you who've joined. If you look and listen hard, you may even get to hear me sing (which may not be a good thing - lol).

And So The Feeling Continues.....

noreply@blogger.com (Heartfire At Home) — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 11:07:00 +0000

A little while back I wrote again of my craving for a pared down feel to my rooms.... I seem to have morphed into a phase of needing more earthy, textural, natural elements and less 'in your face' colour than I'm usually attracted by. (This is BIG.)

And, I've been going about the process of doing it slowly... a little here, a little there. I sat with it for quite a while just to make sure it wasn't a fleeting impulse before I spent any money on anything (which I haven't done much of).

I sent 6 themed boxes of various bits and pieces to the auctions the other day and got back $100, so that was a little extra for me, and I know the people who got them will give them a good home and have fun decorating.

Win/win!

This house really got my attention whilst browsing last night. I can see myself here. I can feel myself here. I kinda feel like I'm shedding one skin to grow into another.

All images from Dust Jacket Attic.

I would seriously like to go and disappear here for at least a week by myself and just soak up the amazing vibes of this home and drink in the serenity of it all.

Then I'd invite some friends around (I know how you love a good swim Bobbi!) to utilise that pool and simply hang out and relax.

I just know I'd sleep well in this home.

There's even more pics of this beautiful home here.

Bliss.

Linda. xox

PS. Nearly 40 people have registered for the Tiny Tidy Challenge now!! I hope everyone ends up diving in and getting down to the nitty gritty of taking part and having some fun.

I'm really looking forward to meeting all of you on the private blog!!

This Bedroom Is So Beautiful... and A Big Thank You

noreply@blogger.com (Heartfire At Home) — Mon, 03 Sep 2012 12:51:00 +0000

Ok, perhaps Bobbi was right in a comment she said a while back on one of my posts.

Maybe her current craving for more neutral and soothing colours is contagious and I've caught it.... because I have to say this bedroom is absolutely making my heart melt.

Not my usual style.

But I just adore it.

Image from Alvhem

The hint of red via the rooftop glimpsed through the window is probably tipping it over into the sublime for me... it gives that pop of bright red I usually crave in spades while the bedroom itself is so calm and soothing.

Maybe my obsession for red is having a mid-life crisis.

Maybe I'm moving into a new phase (which would be an absolute shock because I've been in heart stopping love with red for so long), maybe I'm starting to shed my current 'skin' and evolve into something else.

Who knows! Either way, it's all good and it'll be fun to see what happens.

I feel an experimental redecoration of my place coming on.

Linda. xox

PS. I'd like to thank the 30 or so people who've registered their interest in the Tiny Tidy Challenge!

Woohoooo! (Your invite to the private site is coming out tomorrow)

Happy Father's Day to all in Aus, and I hope you had a lovely time with family where possible.

I spent time with my Mum in memory of my beautiful Dad who passed away over 14 years ago from Leukemia. He was, is, and always will be a massive influence in my life. A good man, husband, father and friend who had to leave us too soon.

I love you Dad.

In the home I carry with me, you are always present.

Fearless Fantasy Friday - In The Midnight Garden

I've Been Meaning To Do This For Years - Wallpaper and Glass Backsplash

noreply@blogger.com (Heartfire At Home) — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 12:50:00 +0000

For years I've been saying I'm going to use a glass backsplash with wallpaper behind it in my kitchen.

All images from Nicety on Live Journal via Micasa Revista

In my vision it's between the bench top and overhead cupboards, but the way they've done it in this kitchen works well too I think. They've wallpapered a whole wall above the bench top and used glass as the backsplash over the bottom third or so.

An interesting result!

What do you think?

Would you do it?

I Have A Strange Fascination For This Room....

noreply@blogger.com (Heartfire At Home) — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 12:38:00 +0000

I have a strange fascination with this room.

It's quite staged, and yet I'm still sort of a little bit - maybe even a lot - in love with it.

Image from the awesome Marcus Design via Nam Dang Mitchell

I'm quirky by nature, (or whacky as someone called me last week), so maybe the oddball ottoman is tickling my fancy?

More likely it's just the overall feeling of a room that's capable of cocooning and nurturing you. I think the walls may have something to do with that.

The rug placement is also a bit off for me, or perhaps it's the size of that sleigh bed/lounge?

None-the-less, I can still envision myself holed up there for a day by the open fire with a good book to hand.

What do you think of it?

noreply@blogger.com (Heartfire At Home) — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 08:38:00 +0000

Look at this.... a home amongst beautiful trees.

That's it - I'm sold.

Pics from Nicety via At Home Arkansas

Trees are so calming and soothing to me. I used to spend hours either sitting in them, under them, or leaning up against them when I was young. There's something about having a tree at your back that's so grounding and comforting.

I also love the stonework in this home, so textural and solid.

This house would be a dream for me (it just needs a very teeny tiny bit of red here and there, although - shock horror - I think I could cope without it in this house).

Linda. xox

Oh, and by the way, the Tiny Tidy Challenge is nearly here!

Woohoo!

Yes, I'm close to launching this little motivational experience.

It will soon be Spring over here, the perfect time for some gentle decluttering. But Autumn is a good time to clear out a few things too, so you can feel content and joyful as you get ready to nestle into your beautiful home for Winter.

Either way, and no matter which side of the World you're on, we're going to get together and have some fun (yes indeedy - fun), getting rid of a few bits and pieces that are getting in the way of your home putting its best foot forward.

If you sign up this time around, it's FREE!!

Places are going to be capped at 50 (if we get there), so be sure to get in early.

Find out more here, or click on the banner below.

Love your home and love yourself Tiny Tidiers!

Pssssst, and another little nugget of info for you... everyone who joins us for the Challenge will go into a draw for a lovely prize, and no, it won't have anything to do with de-cluttering. This one is for celebrating!!!

Oh Yes, I Could Relax Here..

noreply@blogger.com (Heartfire At Home) — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:48:00 +0000

I could find peace in either of these bedrooms...

Images from Dust Jacket Attic here and here

Sigh.

Lately, I'm finding I have a real craving to simplify, declutter (even more), and get a lot more textural elements into my home.

Also.... plants.

I've decided I need more plants around me.

I tend to kill house plants, either with love or neglect (I seem to bounce between the two where plants are concerned), but I really feel the need to have their soothing presence around at the moment.

More flowers from the garden or the market too.

I've been sitting with this 'craving' for a few months now to see if I'm hearing it right, and it's still with me. So, that means action.

Taking big action when I get like this usually means a somewhat frenzied culling, re-arranging, and re-decorating of at least one room, but probably more. I think the study is going to be the first to get my attention. It has a more 'frilly' and 'trivial' feel than I need right now.

Right now I need grounding, and connection, and concentration in a purposeful yet relaxed atmosphere. So, there'll be some pink things going and some more earthy colours coming in I think!

I also definitely need to get outdoors more and get amongst nature. I used to spend nearly all of my spare time outside when I was little (mostly up or under trees), and I think I need to find my inner child again so I can regroup and refresh. I'm feeling like I need my peeps around me. My tribe. And for me, that's trees, tall grass, a track under my feet, sun on my face, and clean air in my lungs.

This Kitchen Is Incredible...

noreply@blogger.com (Heartfire At Home) — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 13:44:00 +0000

This kitchen is amazing!

Found on Coco and Kelly via Dust Jacket Attic and Nicety (and designed by Deulonder), the photos of this kitchen have been stashed in my 'I'm Going To Have One Of These In My Home One Day' file.

I love the way the eating area is its own nook with the kitchen and store room/open pantry backing on to it and around it. (I couldn't fill that pantry with jars, but I'm sure some books would end up in there - lol.)

And, the storage..... oh. my. goodness. Unbelievable. (Although as Bobbi has pointed out in her comment, quite probably beyond most people on planet earth!) Click through and have a look at the whole thing here.

I love the darker trim (it's on the light shade too), the soothing feel of it, the layout, the colour palette, the naturalness of it.... I think I love everything about it with the exception that it does feel a little too 'hotel' like. I'd like it better if the table weren't so immaculately and precisely laid out I think.

This is the most excited I think I've ever been over a room where you cook and clean up (I'm not a huge fan of cooking..... I can cook, I just don't like to!)

What do you think?

Drool material or overkill?

Come Dine With Me - No. 20 - A Little Bit French...

noreply@blogger.com (Heartfire At Home) — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 11:27:00 +0000

Ooh la la! A little bit French indeed.

Image from the lovely Little Emma's English Home

It's probably not quite my usual cup of tea, but it is very pretty!

And, as always, as a part of this series.....

Ask yourself: 'Do I savour the ritual of eating with my family/friends whenever I can?'

Which leads to: 'When, or how, can I include this precious time together more?'

Because: There's something so primitively delightful and bonding about the 'breaking of bread' (so to speak) with our loved ones. It's a ritual and a tradition that's been crowded out and lost amongst television, technology, and texting! It's time to 'get together' and connect the old fashioned way again.

Singing To My Heart...

The image below 'had me at hello', can you guess why?

Image from Anthology Blog via Heima Store

Those of you who know me well will remember my penchant for red, my love of owls, my adoration of quotes around the home, and my fascination with pattern and colour in general.

How then, could my heart not skip a beat when I saw this great photo over on the Anthology Blog via the Heima Store.

LOVE the desk with the red and pink drawers, the owl lamps are divine of course, and the art works based on quotes are gorgeous.

And, using books as part of a room's decoration (stacking them, using their spines to entice the eye etc) is always part of my design mojo!

I'll have the whole thing transported to my place thanks!

Monday Mojo - Finding Contentment....

noreply@blogger.com (Heartfire At Home) — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:31:00 +0000

Image found on A Life's Design

I think contentment is HARD.

Such a simple concept, and yet the thing that seems the trickiest to get a handle on in any consistent fashion.

I think being grateful and approaching life with an attitude of thankfulness helps a lot, and I sometimes have to take myself to task and remind myself how lucky I am when I'm having a down day or a shitty moment.

I have a cosy little home, things I love around me, a wonderful family, supportive friends, and a cool cat! I get to do things I enjoy (read, sing, perform, decorate, design, write), and I'm free to express who I am in a way that makes me happy.

Sure I don't have a big mansion, heaps of money, a glamorous car, a wardrobe full of expensive clothes and too many pairs of shoes to count....... but I am SO lucky to have what I do.

And, it is enough.

And, when I sometimes feel it isn't enough, I think that's more an indication of a part of me that's not being fulfilled in relation to my heart and soul, rather than permission to go out and get more stuff to try and fill the void. (Although, a little bit of shopping therapy does happen on occasion!)

Do you struggle with contentment?

Let's hope we all find some this week, and may your mojo be with you!

Why Can't We Have More Buildings Like This?

noreply@blogger.com (Heartfire At Home) — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 03:21:00 +0000

In the midst of the dreary, bone chilling winter days over here, wouldn't it be great if I could stroll outside and see something like this.....

Found on Pinterest over here.

How gorgeous!

In the heart of the coldest time of the year, colour like this would sure lift my spirits and put a spring in my step.

Is there anywhere around where you live that lifts your spirits and helps the 'dreaded drearies' disappear?

We don't seem to have bright colours used much on house exteriors over here. And, I guess some people might go a bit wild and end up with a bit of an ugly mess if they didn't know what they were doing colour wise...... but these sure look great don't they?

A Dreamy and Opulent Apartment In St. Petersburg

noreply@blogger.com (Heartfire At Home) — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 11:12:00 +0000

In Winter time I find my interior design cravings leaning towards easy elegance, lots of fabric, softness, and anything that makes me feel cocooned in comfort. I just want to feel that warm and fuzzy feeling you get when you can hibernate away from the cold in a place you love to be.

I found these images of a wonderful St. Petersburg Apartment by Anton Valiev over on Fresh Home.

All images here on Fresh Home

I love its opulence and the swathes of fabric. I'm shivering through my dreary days over here in Aus, and these rooms would be lovely to come home to at the end of another rain and wind filled day.

That bed would be wonderful to snuggle up in and read a good book, and I can definitely see myself sitting at that desk and putting pen to paper.
