wanted :: shoe booth

like loads of other women, this weekend i put on my heels and went and watched sex and the city 2. i don't know what was more exciting, having some adult time without the mini me, the actual movie or meeting the babooshoe booth! i didn't actually notice the shoe booth first, my partner did, bless his soul. sitting right alongside the coffee van was this gorgeous black glossy cupboard with one gorgeous pair of hot pink heels in it. instant love. oh how i want one of these!

since moving to queensland and becoming a mum, i have to admit that my heels ever so quickly got ditched for the havaianas. i just felt really out of place wearing my heels to the beach, hehe. and then being mum is much more easier in thongs and flats. but 2 years on, and after watching satc2, i'm feeling an urge to find the old me, an urge to reinvent myself. i looked around at my shoes sitting on open racks at the bottom of my cupboard, dust settled upon most of them, crying for attention! i decided i definately need one of these glamourous shoe booths. not just for me, but for my shoes. they deserve better.

i think i am leaning towards the black. looks so sleek. the smaller shoe booth is named the carrie and it holds 25 pairs plus bags and boots. the taller booth is the imelda, which holds 55 pairs plus bags and boots. which one would you need?

the booths are designed by an australian woman, they have tinted glass, lights, remote, thick rods, angled shelves, movable shelves and sliding doors. check them out for yourself!

pink on display

i stumbled accross a gorgeous blog tonight and found this pretty picture in one of the posts. the blog is mimi loves and although i have no idea what is written as it's in a different language, i can still appreciate the gorgeous images she has used. there are a couple of reasons why i decided to blog this photo. the first is that i love pink. i always have since as long as i can remember. but i have found it difficult to decorate my home with the colour. most of my home is decorated with a lot of red. red highchair, red kettle, red cooking scales (and i don't even cook), red pillows, you get my drift. but seeing these kitchen stools in pink is really tickling my fancy! this area has been done so well with just a touch of pink. and those gorgeous chandeleirs! the second reason to the image is that another favourite blogger of mine, skye rocket studio, has been making the occassional post with display idea's for images. i love how this display area puts some warmth into the room with the pink. i just love it.
