House Hunting

I've decided to get a pad, I've been dreaming of the day when i can wake up one morning and say, I think today I will paint the bathroom in Chevrons" It's significantly harder than i thought with a competitive housing market here in Melbourne. Fingers crossed the perfect little house will find it's way to my decorator hands and I can create spaces like these (well, in my dreams along with Chevron bathrooms).

Big is beautiful!

Ive been holding onto these beautiful shots for a while... some images where large scale objects just seem to work. I am wishing I had the space to feature such an object in every room.

Wall art - Charlotte Mann

When your parents told you not to draw on the walls, I wonder did they ever consider the future artist you may become? Amazing hand drawn wall art by Charlotte Mann, found via Famille Summerbelle

POST 27

I regularly drop by Design Sponge to get some inspiration. It is funny when you see an interior and think to yourself, if I had the time, space and money to redecorate I would do just this. Then, you see that the entire colour scheme was inspired by Tretchikoff's Chinese Girl Print, and that an Ed Templeton skateboard adorns the wall....and you think to yourself oh yes I could certainly live here!

Angela Finney-Hoffman and Barkley Hoffman are owners of POST 27 a Chicago furniture and homewares store, this is their home. I'm in love with their arrangement of art and the hand painted bathroom woodgrain floor. 

Just a few of the pieces available at Post 27, their range includes, vintage furniture, jewellery and homewares. Love, love, love all these pieces.

Oh, and you might remember Ed Templetons work here from my earlier post about Beci Orpin's house.

Charley's Room - Our house

I love spending time with Charley in his room, I hope he likes the bits and pieces I have collected for him. Pictures are: Eames house of cards mobile (that I made), his dad's collection of vintage skateboards, old toys and a box camera sit on his mantle shelf.

Black and White is Alright!

If I could remodel our house, I would consider a black and white canvas, just as Suki of Varpunen has done here in her Helsinki apartment. Of cause, I would have to leak in a little bit of orange and brown....maybe some red and yellow too :) just a little!
