New Armchair

New Armchair in store, comfy and cosy, with a deep seat and feather cushions, you just melt into it...

I'm finding it hard not to curl up and relax

Custom Made Furniture

Love this design by a local furniture manufacturer.

Taking inspiration from mid century American and Scandinavian designs/designers of the period it is on trend with the current retro inspired furniture. It would sit perfectly within the homes of Modern Australia and is scaled for apartment living allowing maximum seating room.

Pop of colour

Harlequin Designs

I was out sourcing at fabric houses this morning and had to snap this amazing chair on display @ Domestic Textiles. From the lastest Harlequin range, it looks amazing and is super comfy....great wallpaper in the background and the lampshade is the same shade as the bedside lamps by Mum has when I was young....

I was lucky enough to be invited by Living Edge to an advanced screening @ ACMI for the documentary Eames: the architect and the painter, this evening. I found it really enjoyable - huge fan of the eames furniture but the documentary introduced me to the photographer / film maker side to Charles and Ray Eames.

If you have a chance, see it. Screening at ACMI from the 1st to the 17th of June.

Making an Entrance

Here are two great entances.What do they have in common? Dark timber floors, neutral walls, great furnituire pieces and statement lighting.

French Inspiration

I had this image saved on my computer and I love it.
Firstly the room is great, with the delicate plaster details on the walls and ceiling and a classic parquetry floor - classic french.

The blue and mauve velvet french furniture is given a pop of colour rug the floral rug as do the cushions, creating and inviting (certainly not stuffy) interior.

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.....

Paprika and Lime

I came across this new supplier, who will be exhibiting at the Design and Decoration Trade show next week. I loved their philospohy nad cant wait to see the product up close....

Paprika & lime want to bring color to your life.
Our style is simple, designed for comfort and enjoyment.
Our aim is to source chairs & home wares that defy time & trends,
that belong in any room, that resonate instinctively with the individual

Cute Chair

Came across this image of a cute chair on a US online shop......which unfortuntely does not ship to Australia. Love the bird print on thefront and the stripe on the back, with the duckegg frame.

Loose Living

Who said loose covers or slip covers were boring. Custom slipcovers can change the look of a room instantly and extend the life of your upholstery. You can express a different style or color palette easily, and then change it back again, if desired as these images highlight.

At home

Thought I would share some images of a table I have recently given a makeover. It was covered with a drak brown varnish, so after lots of stripper, it looks great. I have left the top natural and finished with beeswax and painted the base a white. Looks fresh and now takes pride of place in corner with some of my favorite things on display and flowers from the garden. Not bad for an Ebay bargin and lots of elbow grease.

Contemporary and cosy

Came across this image in a magazine and thought it captured a contemporary interior that was cosy. Love the wall colour, the modern art mixed with the Aubusson rug and best of all the crochet rug...reminds me of my grandmother.....

X-Bench

Its been a busy week and my blogging has suffered.

The X-bench seems to be making a comeback. Its been popping up in a number of magazines so here are some images of the X-bench, which can be covered in any fabric.

I think they are great and offer opportunity to have some fun with wonderful fabrics.

Ebay Treasures

I was trawling through Ebay and came across this gorgeous french bed from Reims in France. Bidding started at $0.99 and so I made a couple of bids, only to later be outbid at just over the $100.00 mark. I thought that waiting until closer to the end before making another bid would be a good strategy. So I had a look this morning and imagine my suprise, when with 7 hours to go, the latest bid was $1009.00 AUD. Not the bargain I was hoping for.......



I look forward to seeing what the final price will be but for now, I will have to keep dreaming.......

Faux Bamboo

I was trawling the internet and discovered this amazing vintage buffet available from a US online store...... Wish I could find these things here.

Below are some other great pieces from the same site

Armchairs

Here are some images of gorgeous decorative armchairs, to inspire..... Remember, we should not be afraid to use pattern whether its a contemporary chair or more traditional in style.

This is an armchair I did for a great client, earlier this year. This chair was a right off, broken legs, spring sticking out of the seat and was completely rebuilt and recovered.

Bamboo Chairs

Loving these bamboo chairs....they seem to be cropping up in a number of images in the latest magazines. Classic and look great in any colour.
