We love stuff. From mouthwatering recipes to beautiful interiors and cats in bow ties, the Internet is chock full of stuff that's fun, fantastic and abominably cute. So much so, we can't help but feel a sense of responsibility to share our findings with you! Read on to see what has caught our eye in the blogosphere this week.

Inspiring Prints on Print and Pattern

A wonderful website for all you print lovers out there. Run by a UK based designer who goes under the pseudonym 'Bowie Style', the blog features a plethora of prints for wallpaper, fabrics, ceramics, gift wrap and even cards, and is the perfect place to discover new talent. We're hard pushed to pick a favourite, but we love the bold, oversized geometric shapes from London based fabric company Korla.

'3 WaysTo Style Your Cloth Rail at Home' on Bodie and Fou

If you're anything like me, you probably haven't put much thought into styling your coat rack. Sisters Karen and Elodie certainly have though , and their coat racks are the crowning piece in their soft industrial and Scandinavian themed homes. Check out their fanastic blog to learn how and get yourself inspired!

Handmade Scrap Fabric Twine on My Poppet

I hate throwing stuff away, because I just know a handy guide like this is going to come along and teach me how to turn my scraps into gold dust. In this post, Cintia from My Poppet shares how  to make fun and funky twine using nothing more than strips of old fabric. Whether you use them to wrap parcels or as a fun decorative piece is up to you, but whatever the case you should definitely check out this creative blog.

Modern Outdoor Fireplaces on Homedit

Homedit poses a very good question: if we're going to lavish a new fireplace on our livingroom, doesn't our patio deserve the same treatment? Okay, my flat doesn't have a garden, but that doesn't stop me drooling over some of these stunning outdoor modern fireplaces. Reader discretion is advised - this post will make you jealous.

Fading Flower Prints on Decor8

Time to get a bit arty now with some stunning prints by Trine Hisdal, as featured on Decor8. Hisdal has put a new spin on the often oversubscribed floral design by photographing flowers whilst dying. The artist says he wants to "document the fragility of flowers and their short lived beauty, and how they look beautiful even as they fade". The pictures are so vivid you can almost smell the fragrance of the petals and see the dew drops tremble. Beautiful, inspiring and downright pretty, I'd love to see these on my wall!
