HomeMint: The New Collection by JT

In the last decade, Justin Timberlake has moved seamlessly between movies, music and even fashion, but I never expected him to launch a site dedicated to home decor!

JT has collaborated with stylist and designer Estee Stanley on their new collection, HomeMint. The line is casual, timeless and heavily influenced by the designs in Europe.

As JT says, "HomeMint merges my love for interior design with my passion for innovation to create a personalized home collection -- it's like having your very own interior designer. A home should be inspiring and a reflection of you and HomeMint brings your individual style to your space"

Manhattan Dreaming

When a friend recently eloped in New York (!!) my mind started to race thinking about what I could get her and the new hubs for their wedding present. Something as amazing as getting married in New York deserved an amazing present.

I searched and searched the city for a framed vintage map of New York, but to no avail. I was running out of time!

So, after a little internet work, I found a very cool map of Manhattan that I was easily able to customise.

You'll notice that the heart is over City Hall, where they got married.

All I needed to do was print out the image on heavy paper and add it to a thick black frame. Loved the final product!

Decorating with Books

Books and magazines have always been my vice. I don't buy too many fiction books but I do have quite a collection of decorating books and magazines.  It doesn't matter how many blogs I subscribe to, the idea of curling up with a good mag and cup of tea is bliss.

But where to store all of these fabulous beauties? The best idea I can think of is to use books as a decorating tool! Group like colours together and make sure the heavier books are placed at the bottom of the pile...
