Personalised Patch Sofas

04 March 2011

I love the idea of these sofas from CreativeAffaris: choose the fabrics and timbers for each component and you have a unique sofa. Cool.

How super cool is this: wallpaper made from thousands of hand-applied stickers. I love that the overall effect is of traditional wallpaper, but up close it's anything but traditional. The installation is by Brian Kaspr and Payton Turner and is called The Salon at Sundown.

Seen and Loved :: around the blogs

24 February 2011

Hello! Sorry I've been so quiet this week. I've got lots going on. Haven't we all?! Here's a few lovely things I saw and loved when I had a quick dash around some fav blogs.

Look at the fabulous colour pallet in these beautiful vases. Found via Poppytalk.

A great interview with Scott Schuman and Garance Doré. They are so perfect together!

I added this fabulous poster to my wishlist - I can't remember where I saw it first though.

Did you know that interior design superstar Kelly Wearstler has a new blog?

A wee peek into the sweet Little Jane St shop.

I know I'll always find beautiful photos on Fryd + Design. Have you visited?

Check out this super cool clip of 60's model Peggy Moffitt featuring amazing fashion, hair & make up and groovin'. Via Modish.

Lovely 'Faux French' tea towels at Thea and Sami.

Super talented Pia Jane Bijkerk has just launched her new website. Her work is SO gorgeous!

I hope you enjoyed seeing these things and that you follow some of the links. If you've spotted anything that you think I might like leave a link and I'll click on through.

Ribbons Galore

23 February 2011

During the fundraisers for Queensland I was lucky to win a $100 gift voucher at Ribbons Galore. I have to say I was like the proverbial kid in a candy store when I went online shopping there... there is sooo much gorgeous ribbon to choose from. Have a look at my haul!

I have no idea yet what I'll use most of it for, but I chose some of the ribbon with this in mind: I have a fab and super comfortable pair of Jeffery Campbell wedges and I thought I'd try changing them up a touch. What do you think? Like them? Or are they a bit much?
