A few of my favourite things...

1.  Svira Bin

I am so happy with this purchase. I used to have wicker storage baskets in my shelves but I was getting sick of them and I was looking for something with a simple pattern. I found these fabric bins at Ikea so of course I knew they would fit in my Ikea shelves. I love the classic soft grey stripes. Overall a happy purchase! Each bin was $14.99. *Note I added the labels my self using a fun font and printing it on white card paper.

Kate Spade 'Things We Love'
This book is my style inspiration go-to. I mean Kate Spade is the queen of colourful style and bold patterns, so who better to take style advise from! This book will make you feel good and feel inspired to wear a punch of red!

Apartment Therapy Presents: Real Homes, Real People, Hundreds of Real Design Solutions
I love Apartment Therapy and their book of interiors is a great go to for home decor inspiration. The realness of their book is what makes it so neat and was of course to concept behind it all.

BR Gold Ipad Case
Probably my favourite thing I have ever purchase at Banana Republic, and who knew they sold tech accessories. I bought this a year or so ago however I believe it is still purchasable online. I love how I can conceal my Ipad in my book shelf, and the gold binding adds a bit of glam!

Lauren Conrad 'Beauty'
Finally, my beauty go to book when I need help with my hair, skin & nails. I love her tutorials in this book and she shares some great beauty secrets!

3. My little accessories...

My ceramic owl was from Indigo and it is my catch all full of nic nacs.

My glass gold knot sculpture is from West Elm.

My Chanel perfume is from well of course Chanel...

And finally my favourite statement necklace is from The Bay.

Oh last but not least a New Years card from a good friend that is a daily reminder that 'The best is yet to come'. Love it! 

4. My day planner!

I could not live with a day planner. I write too many lists which is why I need something with enough pages and space. This planner was from Martha Stewart's stationary line at Staples. Leave it to Martha to make pretty yet functional stationary. 

Hope you enjoyed hearing about my favourite things. I love finding out about new products, book etc.. or things other people love!

Finding Happiness [ Post #1]

I am on journey to find my happiness. I am taking it slowly and focusing each week on something that makes me happy and to develop good habits. Ultimately my goal is to learn to live and love my life to the fullest. Here I will weekly share how I am doing and what I am focusing on. Please share ideas and let's help each other out! 

[ Property of Lovely Things ]

I have started my journey with a simple way to value life and set daily goals to make you feel good. The Five-Minute Journal bought at Indigo has blank spaces to fill in when you wake up to set goals and before bed to reflect on your day. I am absolutely in love with it so far and I am already feeling proud of my accomplishments this week.

Condo Inspiration

I came across this interior today. It caught my eye because I find it is rare to see a condo designed with so many "residential" details.

Fabulous Flooring

I love a good flooring pattern find. There are so many ways to create patterns by mixing textures & shades. These are my favourite fabulous flooring pictures for this week!

This stunning marble pattern mixes different tones of natural marble stone to create a chevon-like design. This would be stunning in a master bathroom.

This wood pattern is so neat and I love how the grains go different directions to add interesting texture to the floor. The 'greige' wood flooring (could actually be a laminate) would be perfect for a foyer. I think it would look neat set within a wood border.

How gorgeous is this pattern? I love the use of a polish rich shimmery stone mixed with a matte finish dull stone and the white border tile finishes it off perfectly. I would love to see this in a powder room!

This pattern has a more rustic look compared to the others I have shared. I think what caught my eye was the use of 4 colours that create a galmorous/rustic look. I would label this style the modern farmhouse, which is a style trending this year. The natural wood has a gold appearance and mixed in with the white, black and silvery painted woods creates glamour and richness. To top it off the pattern gives the design a real modern dynamic look.

Marble again! I love a creative marble pattern and this one is very cool. The weave pattern blends the 3 marble tones together effortlessly. This would be a great tile in a powder room or master bathroom.

I hope you enjoyed these inspirational flooring designs. Every friday I will be posting fabulous flooring!
