Another month flies by

Where has August gone......
Its really scary how quickly the time is going. Each week slips into the next and the end of the year is very quickly approaching....might have to start thinking about the Christmas shopping soon!!!!

Boudoir

Thought this advertising image from Hermon and Hermon was great. Every woman needs a boudoir and I though the sulking place, was very appropraite for any teenage girl......

Harlequin - advertising images

How great are these advertising images.....

These are the shots from the latest Harlequin Collection called Kallianthi.

This is a collaboration with Clarissa Hulse who is a bright star in the British textile world, uncompromising in her passion to deliver the ultimate combination of colour, print and texture. Her name has become synonymous with beautiful and luxurious home accessories, wallpapers and fabrics. Kallianthi is a breathtaking collection of fabrics and wallpapers with a botanical theme which encompasses her trademark style and distinctive handwriting.

I haven't seen the collection in person yet, but my mouth is watering.....

Breakfast Nook

How cute is this breakfast nook. The the combination of art on the wall with the random antlers. The sofa fits perfectly in front of the traditional styled curtains, but it fun and fresh with the salmon pink colour flowing from the sofa on to the walls, in splashes of colour.

Latest Designers Guild

Got to see the latest Designers Guild collection last week. Here are some of the advertising photo's of the Amrapali Collection - inspired by a journey through India with exotic gardens, birds of paradise and Jacaranda trees. Shades of aqua, blue, turquoise mixed with splashes of magenta, chartreuse and cobalt are all represented in the colour palette.

T&CS

Poppped into T&CS to see their latest product releases and snapped a couple of quick photo's of the styling, which is always wonderful. Love the grouping of the white flowers together, freesias, roses, tulips and lilies - very elegant and some great new products I can't wait to specify.....

Lewis and Wood

I love finding new fabric options. I was just introducted to Lewis and Wood - an small UK company producing fabrics and Wallpapers, largely manufactured in Britain.

The commitment to produce original products starts in their screen printing studio, where creative director, Magdalen Jebb collaborates with a variety of freelance designers, from different disciplines to encourage an original approach. They then work with weavers, dyers, printers and finishers to try new techniques. This isn’t always easy, but it does make the result a lot more interesting.

These three images caught my eye - love the colour combinations. More here.

What a week

Just thought I should apologise for lack of posts.....Its been a busy week with a bunch of new projects. Will tell more as the progress.

Friday Flowers

Just love,love this image. This highlights the work of florists Caris Haughan and Vanessa Partridge, who have a store called Prunella in Kyneton, 1 hour out of Melbourne.

Check out more details on the Daily Imprint blog and have a great weekend.

Ikat V2

Here are some images I had on file of bright ikat fabrics.....whats not to love!

Ikat

I think I may have mentioned before, that I love ikat designs. Here are some images of soft ikat designs - a softer palette, makes the ikat design suitable for any classic interior. What until tomorrow for the wilder side.....

Pretty in Pink

Love the simplicity of a pink and white bedroom for a young lady. Great graphic toile wallpaper, teamed with crisp white bedding with soft pink detailing and geometic cushions......a little girls dream bedroom.

Where in the world....

Thought this was a great image - love the map wallpaper and the pop of colour created by the red side chaiers and that stunning ikat inspired fabric on the cushions.

Tricia Guild's Tuscan Farmhouse

Tricia Guild has recently restored a lovely Tuscan Farmhouse, in signature Designers Guild style and its now on the market. I love the gardens and the interior has been left rustic, with splashes of vibrant colour.

Surprisingly mild

Its been very mild in Melbourne of the last couple of day, with temperatures over 20 degrees. Makes me crave for some warmer weather as the temperature drops back down next week.

Absolutely Beautiful Things

The amazing Anna Spiro from Black and Spiro in Brisbane, has just released an amazing new online concept store called "Anna Spiro's Absolutely Beautiful Things" . The concept is that each season they will showcase a new vignette of items, custom made, vintage and things that sell at Black and Spiro. Anna's execution of the site is wonderful and unique and well worth a look.

House of Fifty

Its time for the latest issues of the online magazines to be published. Here are a couple of images from the latest House of Fifty magazine, which caught my eye.

American Design

Here is some work by American Designer - Eileen Kathryn Boyd, recently featured in the Hampton's Designer Showcase. Eileen's mantra is that "Color has the ability to change someone’s entire world, freeing them from all that is dull" and I have to agree. Eileen's use of colour in these interiors is subtle and harmonious. Its always good to see whats going on in the world.
