I’d like to wish each of you a very happy weekend! I will be taking Monday off since tomorrow I’ll be a year older (yippee!) and I’ve decided to give myself a long weekend and also to hop on a train and go exploring so I’ll meet you back here on Tuesday. Until then, I wish you all a lovely weekend. Oh and…
And a little inspiration before I sign off… have you visited my Interior Styling Group on Flickr lately? We have 1,468 members and it’s still growing. The photos above are some recent contributions by the following group members: Emma Lamb, Saídos da Concha, Syko, Elena, The Happy Home and Adore Vintage.
See you in a few days!

hello Holly… :)
thank you so much for including my image here! i’m so pleased you set up this fabulous flickr group, it is full of such inspirational work that is motivating me to think more about my own styling techniques… i just wish i had a wee bit more time to play with these ideas!
i hope you have a wonderful couple of days to celebrate your birthday… i too will be another year older tomorrow and will be treating myself to one day off! not to worry though i have a long weekend planned in a couple of weeks ~ can’t wait… :)

Happy Birthday in advance Holly!
Hope you really enjoy the time to yourself….I can’t tell you how much I relish my quiet time reading through all your entries, and while you’ll be missed on monday its so important to make time for yourself as often as possible!
Decor8 is without doubt a highlight in daily inspiration for my often neglected creative side! I’ll be sure to check out your interior styling group, any chance to feast my eyes of more beautiful images is always welcomed!
