Turkish Delight

1 Cleo Design From My Country

As I promised a few days ago, there is a lot more to be found during The Challenge this month. I immediately fell in love with the Turkish items from Cleom Bailey’s home country. All of these items – and many more – are available individually at Cleo Design. The textures are rich and the detail is lovely.

1 Cleo Design FMC ottoman sofa

My favourite reading pose ever can be found in the ottoman sofa. I have found myself in this position before while waiting to go out, wanting to relax but not have to kick off my boots. We can’t be dirtying up the upholstery, can we? 😉

I am totally delighted with these items and since they are sold separately, you can mix and match the pieces that catch your fancy.

Just Missing The Scotch

22769 ~ [bauwerk] & &Percent

This month the theme for The Challenge is “From Your Country” and it has spawned some really fun new stuff! I am showing off a couple of different designers here and stay tuned for more.

Today I am highlighting the beer garden from 22769 ~ [bauwerk] and the bourbon barrel table set from %Percent. The beer garden, which represents Paco Pooley’s home of Germany comes complete and is loaded with details. From the weathered containers that form the service area to the benches and tables, the “PacoCola” drink cooler and menu it is perfect for setting up for a casual get together with friends. There is even a coffee maker for those who might have imbibed a bit much and need to sober up a bit before venturing home 😉

1 Bourbon Table Set &Percent

Plato Novo has brought a touch of her old Kentucky home from the United States in the form of the bourbon table set. She has created the stools and table from the parts of a bourbon barrel and even developed her own brands of bourbon as decorative and useful props! In addition to the bottles and drinks that decorate the table, you can receive a menu of drinks and props to enhance your experience. It is not just bourbon-inspired cocktails – you can also choose to have a cigar or cigarette to go along with your aperitif. Since I set this up in an outdoor venue, you are allowed 😉

The beer garden is sold as a complete set and you can purchase the bourbon table set or the stools separately. Each stool is different, so you can mix and match to your heart’s content.

All that is missing is the scotch, or we’d have a perfect setup for a George Thorogood classic!

Hooooo’s Ready For The Collage?

1 Collage Feb_016 TD

It’s the 23rd and that means that The Collage is open again for the next two weeks! You may recall that I went a little crazy over this event and especially my new favourite shabby chic store, Thaino Designs at the last round. This month, Thaihiti Baroque, the designer of Thaino Designs so very kindly offered me her items to blog. I admit I SQUEEEEEEEE’d! a bit. (OK, a LOT!)

Everything available is in the photo above. The main theme is owls and of course, shabby chic florals and colours. I really can’t decide which is my favourite item. Thankfully, I don’t have to 😉

I actually left a lot of these items set up in the back garden at my show room. It makes it a very inviting spot to just sit back and relax, or even take some pictures. Anyone is welcome to do so – I’ll even give you VIP ride there!

I’m going to do a little slide show with some closer views of many of the items. But please, don’t let that stop you from heading over to The Collage to see them in person.

Hoooo’s gonna tell me which is their favourite?
