Retro ceramic loveliness

I have just seen these photos via Mrs Eliot Books on Bloesem, what a lovely house! I love retro ceramics too, this kitchen is definitely very inspirational (I think my boyfriend who I am buying a house with is doubtful as to how my retro ceramics will fit in with our new kitchen but he will soon see and understand...)

Kitchen inspiration

I am in the process of buying a house with my boyfriend and if it all goes according to plan, we are going to put in a new kitchen straight away which is VERY exciting! So I am on the lookout for kitchen inspiration - we have seen the sort of thing we like already which is probably glossy, light cupboards and dark work surface and we'd like curves to be involved, like the curves on these buildings. No fussy detailing, fairly minimal in that respect as I will have stuff to put in the kitchen and that will be the detail... If anyone has suggestions for where I can look for kitchen pics that would be ever so helpful! I do like retro kitchens though, here are a few that caught my eye:

Portmeirion Totem

I have recently 'discovered' Portmeirion Totem, a fab range from the 70s (that era again, what a surprise!) - I have bought an amber colour small jug and a green small storage jar from Ebay, am waiting for them both to arrive, very exciting! I found this from Pips Trip which is lovely!

Sunny outlook

When I have more wall space, which will hopefully be sometime this summer if I'm lucky (I hope I'm lucky!!) I long to fill a bit of it with a sunburst clock. Here are a couple from Ebay, I love them. Any tips on where to find a good one much appreciated, I want a second hand one so I can wonder about where it has lived before...

Best. Picture. Ever.3.

I LOVE Elvis. This photo is brilliant.

Vases galore!

Love these vases, desire to inspire again... the house is styled by Katrine Martenson-Larson

I Heart Ebay

More finds, all available on Ebay! I am addicted to just looking and looking at all the wonderful things to be had! Help!

Black and white beauties

Here are some beautiful black and white goodies I am watching on Ebay... normally I am drawn to colour but these are lovely...

John Clappison

I have just 'discovered' John Clappison! Partly down to H Is For Home, their blog is excellent and whenever you look for something like Hornsea in Google images, their images are always there in abundance! Anyway, I love his style, I have just bought my first ever Ebay purchase which is Hornsea but was designed by him! (The bird ashtray I blogged about before.) I can't wait for it to arrive in the post!
Other John Clappison Ebay treats available are below...

A beautiful blog!

Happy Loves Rosie

I really want this bag!

Just found the Gillian Kyle website and she has a thing about Tunnocks Teacakes and so do I! I love their retro packaging, it's only retro because it hasn't changed! She sells this metallic shopper and I LOVE it but cannot possibly justify buying ANOTHER bag :o(

I Heart Hornsea

I love picking up the odd bit of Hornsea pottery in charity shops, I am a sucker for 60s and 70s design! Found this pic on the web (courtesy of H Is For Home), I want one!

Chad Kouri - Long Live Analog

Just found this illustrator who does collages via Grain Edit, love his work! Is very inspiring indeed.

Jonathan Adler

Jonathan Adler rocks as far as I'm concerned. On a trip to NYC last year, visiting one of his shops was a joy and I brought back a souvenir which sits proudly in my living room.

One of the best bits on his website - read the manifesto. "We believe tassels are the earrings of the home." I shall say no more.

I LOVE this website

H Is For Home is such a great website full of lots of items for the home and I want to buy them all! But sadly I have run out of room and it's one in, one out at my flat at the moment. I can still browse the pages and admire everything though!
