Day beds for dreaming

I love seeing a daybed incorporated into a homes decor, makes me want to stretch out a few walls in this "wee" little rental we are living in just to indulge my daybed fantasies...

There are so many styles of daybed around, formal, casual, practical, indoor or outdoor. Something to suit any home & budget.
Backless daybeds are great for adding extra seating & although they don't take don't take up much visual space you really would need a large room to accommodate one.

How awesome does this one look with all the built ins surrounding it.
 A fabulous addition to any child's room or even a guest bedroom.
 A quick change of fabric choice & trim colour on the window dressings & the whole look is transformed.
 Now thats perfect for people like me that can never make a long term commitment to any colour!!!

Dream child No2  always dreamt of a bed just like this as she was growing up & unfortunately never got to own one, now she is about to turn 17 & has been designing a large round bed, but has yet to convince the dream guy to build it for her !

Oh the storage, sweet sweet storage, no trouble for the kids to pack up the mess in this toy room.

I love this daybed, very classy indeed!

Do you have a daybed?

I have seen some fabulous buys on eBay,  in many different styles, they are definitely a nice practical option as a spare guest bed...
i love the idea of the nice timber outdoor styles, it would be nice to laze about on your deck with a good book & a glass of wine!!
Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!

Come swing with me

I love the look of a swinging chair or day bed, whether indoors or out on the verandah they just scream relaxation to me. My parents have one in their outdoor entertaining area & it is loved by the adults as much as the kids.
Have you ever tried sitting on a swinging chair & been able to resist the urge to swing?
That gentle, rhythmic motion is irresistibly soothing.

I dont think you need a view to get pleasure from a swinging chair, any location will do, BUT, a fabulous   out look would certainly heighten the experience!

A place to relax

After almost 2 weeks of miserable wet weather the dream kids have started to drive me a little crazy!!!
To soothe my frazzled mind I have searched thru my inspiration pics for a quiet & peaceful space that I could dream of relaxing in!!!



I think this might do the trick....


Now this looks rather soothing...


Mmmmmm.......


Dreaming of owning a ghost chair...


Loving such a soft colour scheme....


Imagining my own personal library....


Swooning over black & white....


Oh look Ive saved a spot for YOU too!!!

Would you prefer a glass of Red or White wine while we relax & dream of our favourite spaces...Whats that?.....No there's no children calling my name....didn't hear a thing...SSSHHHH!!!!!!
