Not had a chance to read the blogs this week? Tut tut - here's what you missed...
Jenn at roomenvy got us all excited with these top tips for updating a kitchen on the cheap. The secret? Basically - throw lots of colours at it!
And talking of colour, that lucky so-and-so Ellie got to nose around Clarissa Hulse's design studio this week. Thankfully, she managed to get some shots of it - check 'em out over on HomeShoppingSpy.
The clever Ysanne from Beautiful Kitchens has unwittingly managed to source exactly what I've always wanted for my kitchen - this gorgeous herb holder from Sagaform. I'm definitely getting one!
For the craftier among you, make sure you have a bash at making this cute homemade envelope cushion, from Country Days. If it's a success, why not post pics of the result on the 'See What I Made' section of the Livingetc forum?
And finally, Bethan at Homes On Film has unearthed these elegant bedroom chandeliers. In fact, I love pretty much everything about that bedroom!
