So I bit the bullet and went to see Fifty Shades of Grey last week. I wasn't sure what to expect. I had read the first book and then I admit lost interest...a CEO, private planes, a penthouse apartment? It was all a bit much and dramatic. But I thought I would go along to the movie and see what all the rage was about. I must admit the raunchier scenes were alot more tasteful than I thought they would be. Have you seen the movie, what did you think?
So this along with my new charcoal lounge has got me in a 50 shades of grey frenzy. I am loving shades of grey and a toned down neutral look at the moment for my home. The words 'Scandi Beach House' keep coming to mind and I am quite taken by the idea of creating something with texture, interest and still some warmth for my living room. Here is what I have been pinning to get inspiration for the look I am wanting to achieve.

Along with my shades of grey fascination at the moment, I am obsessing over African Juju hats. I put the callout on Instagram asking what you think of them and if you would hang one in your home. This is the look I love....

What do you think? I have a burning desire to attempt a DIY one and have sourced where to buy the feathers and supplies from. I would love to know what you think though. Have you attempted a DIY version and saved yourself the $600 pricetag? Do you know what an African Juju hat too?!
I would love to know your thoughts and ideas on making a Scandi Beach house living space. Until next time,

I like the furniture more than the books!
ReplyDeleteI love the grey colour scheme and have thought about making one of those myself - where do you source the feathers? Is there a huge price saving in DIYing?
ReplyDeleteHI Malinda, to buy a juju hat you are looking at around $600. I have worked out to DIY it it will be under $80. Although its not cheap to buy all of the feathers, I think its a great saving:) I am so excited to make it. This is where I am buying the feathers from ---- https://www.feather.com.au/shop/category/coque-tails-strung You buy the feathers on a string, this way they all stay together and you then hot glue gun it. Let me know if you try it! :):) A x
DeleteI've never heard of an African Juju hat!
ReplyDeleteI like some of those room looks, but that one with the blanket falling off the couch on to the ground really bothers me!
Haha I know, I would never leave a blanket dangling like that! But when styling, it does look 'lived in' and homely which I guess is the look they are going for. Oh I am obsessed with the juju hat idea, can't wait to make one :)
DeleteOh too funny - I have post in my drafts about exactly the same thing and we have even used two of the same images. Good minds ;) xx
ReplyDeleteNo way! That is so coincidental, look forward to reading it. Always on the hunt for more grey inspiration :) xx
DeleteSome great inspiration in these pics!
ReplyDeleteThanks Danielle for stopping by! :)
DeleteHaven't read the books, no desire to see the movie!!! However, I do lust after a juju hat but the price tag is just too prohibitive. I've never thought of making them before - but I have a hot gun and access to feathers so I'm going to give it a go.
ReplyDeleteGo for it! Let me know how you go. My goal is to purchase the feathers this week, then I have no excuse. Have fun with it x A
DeleteThose simple grey and white rooms are beautiful! So classic and neutral!
ReplyDeleteI agree, so calming and relaxing looking. Thanks for stopping by Katy x
DeleteThese are all gorgeous. I love your 50 shades of Grey. Stunning. Jx
ReplyDeleteLove those interior pics. The magazine rack in the second one, I wants!
ReplyDeleteI used to want a Juju. Good on you for contemplating making one. That would be beyond me but you will have to share how you go.
