The Home-Journal

This week on The Home-Journal I talk through my favourite colour schemes by Dulux and as an extra special incentive to read it... there's a giveaway!! So head on over to see what you can win! 

Cereal Magazine's Forest Gallery Exhibit

Cereal Magazine is definitely a favourite of mine... Recently a competition was conducted where readers could submit their own photograph inspired by the theme forest to be considered for inclusion in the next issue of the magazine. After many incredible entries, 13 were selected for the exhibition (which took place in London last week) and to be included in issue 4 of the mag. A limited edition forest cover for issue 4 was printed with only 100 copies, where all proceeds from the project, including sales of the magazine and prints were donated to the International Tree Foundation.

Here are some of my favourite shots from the top 13. To see them all, head over here...

7 Vignettes August

This past week you may have noticed that I have been uploading photos on Instagram a whole lot more frequently than ever before... I thought i'd explain why ive been hoarding your feeds... It's called 7vignettes... And it's been going on for ages (every month this year). I've been viewing each months entries but never got around to entering the full seven day competition, until now. 

So what is it? It is an instagram competition run by Jen Bishop of Interiors Addict the first seven days of each month. Jen will post the list of topics/themes for the months competition a week or so before it starts so you can starting planning and preparing. Each day you enter a vignette (a small cluster of objects or things that have meaning or resonate an emotion or memory) that follows the days theme and at the end you could win a prize. You can view all the other entries at #7vignettes. It's pretty fun actually... And it's really inspiring looking through everyone's entries and how they view each theme...

Here are my entries for this month... I'm not super pleased with some of them, but i'm happy that I created all seven and therefore completed 7vignettes! I find it hard styling things from home when you feel like you don't have much stuff to pick from... but I guess that's all part of the challenge!
