Getting Organised with 27Pinkx

Getting Organised with 27Pinkx

As you know I love interior decor and finding creative ways to give a space a new lease on life, whether it is by changing wall colour or introducing interesting decor items.

Getting Organised with 27Pinkx

The thing is decor and interiors are not only the pretty, aesthetic aspects but also involve organisation and practical storage solutions, to help a space function better.

My eldest daughter turned 13 this year which has prompted making a few decor changes in her bedroom. In essence removing all the very girlie items to make way for a more mature, trendy look. We created an accent wall by painting one wall a vibrant jewel green shade and introduced visual interest by adding Black and White prints.

27Pinkx-Mini-Organiser

We also need to find a home for her ever expanding makeup collection – she is my daughter after all! There are so many different types of storage solutions to choose from but my favourite for makeup are perspex draw organisers, like the one above from 27Pinkx. I love the fact that they are clear and you can actually see all your makeup but at the same time it is not cluttering up your dressing table or desk!

27Pinkx-Mini-Organiser

For my daughters room we used the 3 draw perspex mini organiser from 27Pinkx. They have a variety of sizes but this one was perfect for the amount of makeup she needed to store.

27Pinkx-Mini-Organiser3 27Pinkx-Mini-Organiser 27Pinkx-Mini-Organiser

You can very neatly arrange all your different makeup and beauty items into categories, in the various draws, as we have done above.

We also styled the unit with a few of her favourite personal items, including a cute owl as a makeup brush holder. Adding these personal touches, makes it become part of the room decor, rather than just a storage unit!

WOOLWORTHS HOMEWARE SUMMER 2014

Woolworths-Homeware-summer 2014

I recently attended the Woolworths Homeware Summer 2014 trends presentation, aptly named “The Season of Innovations”. With great new products that will not only look great in your home, but are created to be more sustainable, using materials, products and processes, which are more environmentally friendly. I thought I would share of my favourite items from the Woolworths summer range.

Woolworths Homeware Summer 2014 Studio W

Woolworths have always been one of my favourite homeware stores and they did not disappoint, with their new season offerings.

Woolworths Summer 2014 Summer-House

As well as bold colours summer colours, they have created more neutral palettes, as well as more feminine, almost vintage stories.

Woolworths-Homeware-Vases

One of my favourite innovations for summer are bowls and plates made from bamboo fibre. These products are practical for outdoor dining but still have an element of modern elegance.

In-store mid September

This eco-friendly fibre comes from a renewable source and is both food safe and dishwasher safe.

Woolworths-Homeware-Melamin

In-store beginning August

Staying with outdoor dining, Woolworths only stock 100% melamine tableware, which has been tested and retested, to ensure it is 100% non-toxic and food-safe.

Woolworths-Homeware-Pans Lotus Rock ceramic

In-store mid October

For the more serious chef their new black pan cooking set, coated with non-stick Lotus Rock ceramic, is stunning and definitely something I will be investing in! This new technology is free of toxic chemicals and is energy saving, durable and easy to clean.

Woolworths-Homeware-scatter cushions

As I have mentioned before, one of the easiest ways to brighten up any room and give it an instant makeover, is by adding scatter cushions! Soft furnishing are a relatively in expensive way to give a room a fresh new look and you can swop them out at any stage if you tire of them.

Woolies scatter cushions are made from natural and sustainable imported yarns or recycled felt.

Studio.w Ngwenya glasses In-store end June

Woolworths sources glassware from all over the world but are particularly proud of their glassware from NgwenyaGlass, which is located in neighbouring Swaziland. Ngwenya Glass has been supplying Woolworths for a number of years and the range was intially included in their Artisan ranges but this Summer the Ngwenya Glass will become part of the Studio.W range.

We have partnered with Ngwenya glass as not only do they create valuable jobs in our neighbouring Swaziland & produce quality glassware they also have the same sustainability values as us. Their glassware is made out of 100% recycled glass and their furnaces are powered with local recycled oil, in fact wherever possible throughout their factory they are using recycled materials.

Woolworths-Homeware-W-Col3

My favourites, as far as linen and bedding goes, is the rather opulent W Collection range. You will find luxurious bed linen, with metallic embelishment and faux fur throws, beautiful glass vases and hurricane lamps – perfect for creating a romantic bedroom setting!

There is so much to look forward to for summer, with this amazing homeware collection from Woolworths! You’ll find these and other beautiful, innovative homeware at selected Woolworths stores from mid-August 2014.

Win Evolve Paint Hampers worth R1500

Win-Evolve-Paint-Hampers

*This competition is now closed ~ see the winners list to find out who won!*

It always amazes me how simple it is to transform a room, with a simple coat of paint! I am actually in the process of doing a mini makeover on our guest loo, there is nothing wrong with the space structurally but it is in need of a bit of TLC. The walls are a neutral beige and although there is nothing wrong with neutral, it can be a bit boring! I feel like it is time to personalise the space!

Paint tins

Choosing a wall colour is such a personal thing and bold colours can transform a room completely. If you are afraid of being too bold, a great way to introduce colour, is to have an accent wall and paint one wall in a brighter or bolder colour! The options are endless and redecorating can be lots of fun!

If mellow and blissful colours appeal to your senses, then you will just love the cosy new hues in Evolve’s latest paint range, for autumn and winter. Specially selected to reflect the tranquillity of nature settling into a slower rhythm, the muted browns, cheeky green, musky pink and two warm additions in the range, hint at taking it easy and slowing down as the seasons change. Besides the two new sensational tints, Rambling Vine and Desert Flight, the Autumn/Winter range includes five additional popular colours, from the existing ranges.

Evolve-Paint Rambling Vine Desert Flight

All Evolve paint comes standard in translucent packaging. The guess work is removed when selecting colours – what you see is what you get. The full Evolve range has over 30 colours to choose from, so compiling a winning palette that is blissful from floor to ceiling, has never been easier. Evolve has a 10-year quality guarantee on its top coat; it’s lead and solvent free; Zero VOC; and made from 70% natural organic materials. It’s also water-based, low-odour and quick drying: kinder on you and the environment.

If DIY is your thing you will be super excited to know that I have two Evolve hampers, worth R1500, up for grabs. The hamper includes: A choice of *Evolve Paint (one of the two new colours), Ceiling Paint, Primer and Paint accessories. This is the perfect prize to “warm up” your winter.

Bathroom Decor Inspiration

As well as being in the process of redoing our dining area, I have a few additional decor projects in the pipeline! One of which is redecorating our bathrooms, starting with our guest loo. Most of the rooms in our house have very neutral decor, which is great for resale and how we bought the house but I have decided that change is needed! I have enjoyed scouring interior mags and websites for Bathroom Decor Inspiration. [Read more…]
