Geek Chic spaces
How's your weekend going? Hope it's going swell :) This has been a hectic week for me with my parents being away, so Hubs and I have been sharing shifts at the shops and looking after the kids. I'm so glad I can sit down for a moment and just blog. This is my peace, my sanctuary to sit down and write. Do you have a blog? (I would love to visit it, please share in the comments section below so I can follow!)
I have been thinking of new ideas for the home and there is a trend that I have been wanting to adopt - it is GEEK CHIC styling. As much as I love looking out for beautiful and feminine pieces to decorate the home, my inner geek wants to show itself!
Geek chic items brings intrigue, intellect and cute academia into your living space. Channel your inner smarty pants and bring out your oversized glasses, dress in tweed and hang that pocket watch.
Think of large alphabets, fonts, libraries of books, frames, moustaches, books, world globes and framed glass silhouettes.

Chess sets, a game of skill that dates back to 6th century AD from India. Perfect for those days when you have 'nothing' to do and have a friend to entertain. I like the look of this typographical chess set, so chic!
Photo taken by me - one of my latest purchases from the design label Universal. A eye tester. It's great as it sits at the end of my corridor, so when I enter the home I'm always testing my eyesight!
Did you see anything you like? Would you dress up your space with Geek Chic items? Or what kind of style would you say you adopt in your personal space?
Enjoy your relaxing Sunday session!
