I have often posted about creating walls but negative spaces are important too. Just because you have a blank space doesn’t mean you have to fill it. Gallery walls are a popular choice to fill up a wall and convey your personality, however a single statement piece can do the same. I have been there with a gallery wall but after a recent new paint job I paired it back to just two of my current favourites. Letting them
Windows Done Well
Nothing beats natural light and whatever your design style your little house needs windows. The way it floods in on those bright days or the dappled light that creates shade and shadow. Natural light has a positive affect on our mood the way artificial light can’t. So let the light in by using Roller Blinds, light weight sheers or floaty linen curtains and if you have heavy curtains draw them away from the windows onto adjacent blank wall spaces by
Sunday Styling
There are a lot of garlands out there but these beautiful beads are a definite favourite at My Little House. Natural and painted beads threaded on leather or twine with loops for hanging. They are a fail safe option for a wee bit of fuss in an otherwise minimal space. Pretty Pink, Beautiful Black and Au Naturel are making a feature in My Little House. Hang them or let them sit on a surface. Order your custom beads here
I love Stuff!
I love stuff; lots and lots of beautiful stuff, and when I go into homes I can see how much other people love stuff too. And while we could all do with a de-clutter sometimes getting rid of that precious stuff is just not going to happen. The “what ifs” and “but I might need it one day” come at me thick and fast and I too have to admit to a loft full of that stuff that I

I love this look, a book shelf that’s not really a bookshelf. Some books are just too beautiful to hide. The shelves are just deep enough for some little trinkets to join your books. I purchased mine from Akia. There is a smaller option if you have a tight space or want to mix up your sizes a bit. You can even paint them to match your wall colour. Perfect! Of course you can use your picture ledges

The perfect floor lamp
Well my living room has had a wee makeover, the walls are fresh and white again, the art wall has diminished from 9 prints to just two, the cushions have gone monochrome but my design – eye tells me something is missing. And so. enter the Rubi Lamp from Leitmotiv. I love the shadows it creates on the walls. Perfect, now I can sleep easy! Photography and styling by My Little House
Come dine with me
COME DINE WITH ME How often do we all sit and eat at the table these days? With the hours ‘he who likes to save money’ works we only manage it a few times a week so when we do I try and make it a little special. If you are struggling to round everyone up take a look at these images; perhaps a re-style of your dining space could be in order or just another 10 minutes Shelfie
Never underestimate a shelf to add a 3D and useful vignette in your home. If you are like me you will love to arrange and rearrange your precious objects. Take a look at these beautiful images from Pinterest. Shelves can be custom made or you can pick them up fairly cheaply at Bunnings or Mitre 10, fix them with these brackets for a scandi look. The beautiful String Shelf is my favourite and a simple floating shelf can be found here. Take
