dreamy bedroom at peacock pavillions

I'm constantly day dreaming about running away to exotic climes and one of them for me is Marrakesh. I wrote previously about having a heavenly spa experience at Les bains de Marrakesh, and next time I'm Morocco bound, I'd love to stay at Peacock Pavilions which is run by blogger extraordinaire Maryam, and her architect husband Chris. I've been following Maryam's blog My Marrakesh for several years as the couple designed, built and exquisitely furnished their guest house set amongst olive groves just outside the Medina of city. This black and gold beauty of a room is one of many features Maryam designed along with decorative stencil specialists Modello Designs. Inspired originally by a beautiful art deco screen Maryam had saved a clipping of in her inspiration files, I'm absolutely in love with it. You can read about the design and application of the pattern over here at Designamour.

Right, back to my day dream of sipping mint tea in luxury...

Hows about a little bit of interior décor porn to start off the new year? Love the light, the floors, the monochromatic scheme and quirky features in these rooms although I'm slightly woeful about the fact that I barely scratched the surface of the endless list of jobs I have to improve my own little abode over the holidays. Never mind, I'll just pretend this is my flat instead. Images B&B Italia via Marcus Design

Unfortunately you can't always enforce serenity just because you're on holiday, but I do find watching the sea is always quite a meditative experience so here's a quick snap I took as a sliver of blue sky snuck through the gloomy clouds which were lurking about for most of the weekend.

etsy love: iviemade cushions

Image
I love discovering new blogs and talented people through comments left on posts, and that's exactly how I discovered Elizabeth of E tells tales  who hand makes these charming cushion covers, available at her etsy shop iviemade . I've got a huge crush on the Eiffel tower pillows (eventually you'll work out I basically have a huge crush on almost anything with an Eiffel tower on it) . If you hurry over to her blog right now, she's running a competition to win a pillow in celebration of her blogging birthday.
