Interior Inspiration | Pallets

Things are not always....

....as they seem

I love it when you use an item for something that it wasn't originally designed for. Pallets are the perfect example of this and have been all over the place recently....well on Pinterest....being used for so many different thing....some of which I have shown here. People are so clever and I am so great full for their cleverness so that I can coo and dream over their ideas.

Picking up some of these isn't that easy' I have a friend who works in the building trade who is able to get me some....which also means what ever you are creating is not only rustic and homemade but cheap cheap cheap.....always a winner. The only thing you will need is patients and maybe a little help

I LOVE the idea and have always wanted to make my own garden furniture out of pallets....just need to get a garden first!!

Future thinking

Home is......

my ideal home

......where the heart is....! I love home interiors and most of my time that I spend on Pinterest is looking at my dream interiors and ideas for my dream (and I really do mean dream) home.

My love of interiors got me thinking and about a year ago I embarked on an interior design course with the regent academy in London. This is a distance learning course, which for a normally unmotivated person such as myself is a bit of a challenge. I started of pretty well, very enthusiastic and sending away an assignment every couple of weeks......unfortunately my motivation (not my enthusiasm, I hasten to add) has some what dwindled in recent months and its DEFO time started to pull my finger out again. This 'pulling of finger' came in the shape of signing up for another interior design course at a local college in my area (not quite solving my problem but none the less I am enjoying).

My dream job would to be to work in interior design.....hint hint anyone out there :).....so this, I am hoping, is a step in the right interior direction. Until then I will fill my days with coming up with ideas for my dream house, reading interior blogs and perusing through beautiful images on Pinterest.
