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.  

Foil Fun and Pineapple Sunshine!

I picked up these terrific books a long time ago, I really must visit my book collection more often....there are some real gems like:

Golden Circle Pineapple Cook Book - beautiful, colorful and no doubt absolutely delicious recepies!

Alcoa's Book of Decoration (with tin foil that is!!) - Need a costume, why not use tin foil. Running low on Christmas decorations, why not use tin foil. Need some new toys for the kids, why not use tin foil.
This how to book will provide endless hours of fun for the entire family!

Yellow Dress Love

Have I told you already that I have a fondness for the colour yellow? I must admit, I do go weak at the knees for a yellow dress. Michelle Williams stole the Oscars in this Vera Wang. Stunning!

Wallpaper must have!

How awesome are these wallpapers by Deborah Bowness...on the wish list for our new house.

Vintage Cards

My sister Renee makes the most amusing greeting cards, with her clever eye she collages imagery from vintage magazines and combines them with fitting wordings. Here is just a teaser...oh, and each card is a one off, she doesn't replicate them by making copies, so your giving a piece of art as well as a card
