I love you : The Wall



"To find the song that you once could sing 
Where there is hope there is a dream". 
Song Of Reconciliation
-Susan Ashton 

In a world marked by violence and dominated by individualism, walls, like frontiers, are usually made to divide and to separate people and to protect them from one another. On the contrary, Le mur des je t'aime (I love you : the wall) is a link, a place of reconciliation, a mirror which reflects an image of love and peace downtown Paris Montmartre, in France. With over 311 written declarations in 250 different languages, I love You : The Wall has become a meeting place for lovers.


I love you : the wall is a monument dedicated to love erected in the romantic garden of the Square Jehan Rictus Place des Abbesses in Paris Montmartre. The work of art, created by Frédéric Baron and Claire Kito has become a meeting place for lovers of Love. 

For a lovely walk or a hike, an unusual step for your honeymoon, the discovery of a missed spot, for saying I love you in different languages, to stroll in the most romantic place in Paris, it´s an invitation to discover the The Wall of Love in music and images.

Wooster & Jeeves

"Because I'm invited to step out this evening
With top hat and white tie and tails."
Top Hat, White Tie And Tails 
- Fred Astaire

Suspension lamps Wooster & Jeeves have been designed by Jake Phipps taking the exact shape of the classic top hat and the bowler respectively by a tribute to British history.

Both reflect the class system of British society in the late XIX century in which the wealthy high society gentlemen word top hat and those belonging to the working class used the bowler (Anglo-Saxon symbol par excellence).

With these designs Jake Phipps manages to turn a cultural icon in a funny lighting element reminiscent of past times of British society.

The most attractive way to place these lamps are grouped randomly evoking a group of citizens gathered.

The two lamps are made of felt and lined inside with aluminum (silver in the case of Wooster and gold if Jeeves) to increase light reflection.

The designer, Jake Phipps, has his studio located in London and is dedicated to designing products that are manufactured on a large scale.

Anti Scary Childen Bedroom with an Easy Budget Decoration

Inspiration to transform a boring bedroom into a cosy sleeper's paradise and tips to help children at night. 

The bunk bed has come a long way from its previous rough-and-ready utilitarian image as a cheap way to accommodate children at the same bedroom, creating complicity between brothers and sisters.

Children do not think like adults. Most of the world is unknown to the child. Children are scared because their imagination grows and suddenly become afraid of the dark, why not leave a light on for them? 

Sleep time is scary time for little people. Fear of the dark and separation from parents is a double fear that keeps many children awake. Put on a night-light. You can get more information at notsoperfectparent


When you help your child to wake up happy, it affects not only the child’s life, but on everyone the child meets in his/ her day. Waking up on the wrong or right side of the bed is not a phenomenon only for the adults among us. You can find ways to help your child at parenting.allwomenstalk

Many families have no choice in the matter, we know families that have three bedrooms. And yet they chose to have their children sleep in the same room. More information at Sleepsisters



Another wonderful insight into a child's belief in the power of their teddy bear, protecting innocent children from monsters-under-the-bed since since we can remember. Let us enlighten them with our Cotton Ball Light.

If your budget was restrained at this stage you can't go past, A few old branches aren’t worth much to utake a moment now to stop, breathe, and dive into your imagination.

Watercolor Wall(Paper)



Freshome.com
Lately, we’ve been seeing some appealing images of watercolor walls. We thought, we’ll do that ourself. Easier said than done. From our limited knowledge of it, the beauty of watercolor has much to do with the paper, which allows the paint to bleed in interesting ways. So we started hunting for solutions.
AneWall.com
After reading some interesting watercolor techniques here, including using salt, we found some beautiful examples

…we were just hatching possible estrategias for watercolor walls when we came across the origins of the ones we’ve seen on design blogs: take a look at Black Crow Studios they makes watercolor wall paper in large scale non-repetitive designs.

Our Great Ball Light Garland


"We round a racetrack through your mom's kitchen chairs

And fought the shadows back down your dark basement stairs.
I lit a match and let it catch to light up the room."
Hot Air Balloon
Owl City


You can make it or buy it!

It’s one of those ideas perfect for every occasion, to light the wall, the window, the ceiling, to use it in a party, inside or outside if weather permits. There are hundreds of designs, materials and colours that you can apply to it to match your design scheme.


You will need:
  • Twine in the colour of your choice. The wire's thickness depends on your taste
  • PVA Glue ~ About 1/2 litre, This is Polyvinyl acetato
  • Cornflour
  • Warm water
  • 20 Balloons
  • Marker pen
  • Vaseline
  • Disposable tin
  • A long piece of wood, as a stick or a broom to hang the balloons
  • Twinkly light garland to attach the twine-balls
  • Lightbulb garland

We show you how to make it in a few steps!

First of all blow-up the balloons, one for each ball and draw a circule around the top using your marker so you know where to wrap your trine up to, then smear the balloons with a thin coating of Vaseline, this will stop your twine from sticking to the balloons.

Tie a piece of string to the ends of each balloon and then around an old piece of wood between two fixed points. This allows you to work on them while the balloons are hanging. Make sure you have something underneath to avoid the drips.


To make your glue mixture, take the disposable tin and mix up PVA glue, a few tablespoons of corn flour and warm water. You want the mixture to be smooth, not too runny, and make sure there’s lots of it as trine is quite absorbent.


This is the key part. Take the twine and dip it into the glue mixture until it is entirely soaked, then start to wrap it around the balloon, both vertically and horizontally until you get the desired effect. When you have finished, snip off the end of the twine and tuck it underneath another piece so it doesn’t stick out. Do the same with every balloon.



Leave to dry overnight. You will find that your twine balls have now gone hard, if they haven’t then just leave them a little longer until they are fully set. Pop them, then remove the balloons. You can spray paint the trine balls into a desired colour or leave it in its natural colour if you prefer and attach to your light garland.

Would you like to give a go or would you like to buy it in our store: www.bloomingbloo.co.uk

A thing to remember when we're all alone

She decided that she wants a 70's party in the early afternoon and we should dress up accordingly. So I've got some ideas of what to do.
To start, in the building entrance which she has rentes for the event we will display a photo call, so the people can warm up to the atmosphere cheering up with the pictures and the custom accessories






As we will have an theme we will stick some globes on the wall with washi tape saying Happy birthday like this



Paper lamps will be hanging on the ceiling, we have got several of them and we will paint them with glitter as a make your own disco ball.

The final decoration will be the tableare  full of bright colours and combined with the paper lamps and happy birthday balls.




Lot´s of details can be aded to the party, glasses, wigs, glitter lollipops, vinil discos, mirror balls, depending on the party hour and the guess age.
