Home Build | String Styling

7.29.2013

If you've been following my Home Build series, you'll know all about my obsession with String, the iconic Scandinavian shelving system. Having first wrote about it in my living room inspiration post, I'm happy to report that the String Shelf arrived safely, thanks to Bob and Friends who I introduced you to here, and is now assembled and ready to go! 


Over the weekend I started to unpack a few things and had fun rearranging them on the shelves, taking a couple of Instagram pics as I went along. My iPhone camera is getting a lot of use lately - I promise I'll take some better photos on my camera soon! 


I bought a few new plants yesterday, one of which is a small palm, perfect for the String. I also have my eye on many more gorgeous things including books, candles, prints and other decorative pieces. All fit in with the monochrome palette, along with touches of grey, blush and gold. As well as plants, I'd like to add more pale wood, ceramic and metallic details for layers of texture. 

Shelves of any kind provide a great way to display treasures and inject personality and soul into a home. Here's a selection of items from my wishlist, that will hopefully inspire you too.

Homes to Inspire | Under Pohutukawa

4.23.2012

I was reminded of this amazing house on Pinterest today. Thanks to the digital world we live in and judging by the number of pins, unsurprisingly its appeal is reaching far and wide. 

'Under Pohutukawa' is the holiday home at Piha by Lance and Nicola Herbst of Herbst Architects and recent winner of the Home Magazine Home of the Year 2012. Close to the beach and nestled under and around a dense Pohutukawa grove, this truly is a dream home. Here are a few images.
