plants are one of the most important elements in our home, i don't seem to be capable of going through a week without adding another to my collection! i've been meaning to make some plant stands for a long time- i adore the classic standing mid century styles but i wasn't in the mood to cut up all the dowel to make them so when i saw this metal  square planter  on pinterest i knew i could recreate it with wood and make a simple stand that just slotted together- yay!

i may not have the most minimal make up collection but that won't stop me from making some minimal storage for it.. there's nothing worse than having brushes scattered around the bathroom right?

happy weekend guys! this post is a little late as we've been down in cornwall watching two of my favourites tie the knot, arrr. it was the most beautiful and intimate wedding i've ever been too so the trip was super special (family events make me all emosh.) since we got home things have been pretty manic but this weekend i have no huge plans so i'm going to catch up on fun stuff like face masks and big little lies. hope you have a great weekend! here some stuff: - DIY circle tote. - 10 TED talks that will change how you work. - NY underground in the 70 (v. cool) - how cool is this new skincare line? - eat me. - i got shortlisted for a blogosphere award! back soon! caroline x

kokedama, sounds cool huh? well it is. it's basically a moss ball that takes the place of a traditional ceramic planter. these little babies are perfect for smaller spaces enabling you to create your own indoor hanging garden.. uh-mazing!

so terrazzo, when did you become the trendiest thing ever? i've always had a soft spot for the retro marble chip pattern but lately it seems to be popping up everywhere from home decor through to DIY (check out these cool examples from  brittni ,  fran ,  claire  and  marwa !) i'm pretty darn happy about it as it's a fun technique that you can try at home yourself.

i hadn't been to barcelona since i was 15 so revisiting it last month was like discovering it all over again! it's a beautiful city with plenty to explore making it a perfect long weekend destination. we went for 4 days this time round and i'd definitely recommend going just before peak season- the weather was gorgeous plus we didn't have to rush to beat the crowds- winner! i wanted to share a quick overview of my favourite experiences in case any of you guys were heading there too..
