I'm very excited about the start of a new project at creative monsoon...

We had a sweet treat in the office this week, a box of beautiful hand painted chocolates from Coco Chocolate. Each one was so beautiful it seemed a shame to eat them, but I have to say the flavours were a bit odd. I'm not sure what a geranium is meant to taste like (as I don't usually go around eating them) but geranium chocolate...? Hummm not convinced. But they sure look pretty!

I'm so pleased we have finally made a start on our new kitchen, we've put a deposit down on the design and the sexy new smeg appliances. (Hooray for an oven that doesn't pump hot air at my legs every time I use it!) I thought I'd share a few pics I've been collecting the past year that have inspired the design, sadly I didnt keep records of credits, sorry. But I'd say they came via Apartment Therapy and Decor8, great sites if your looking for interior design inspiration.
