Thoughts on a Style Safari
Last Friday I was lucky enough to attend Home Magazine’s Style Safari, led by the warm and very charming editor of Home Magazine, Jeremy Hansen. If you didn’t catch my interview with Jeremy about the day, you can read it here.
Ceramic Wall Planters by Light + Ladder
I’ve always been a fan of plants inside the home, so I’m really enjoying seeing how this current and continuing indoor plant trend is nurturing the creation of some seriously interesting planter and display designs.
Ceramics Handpicked
I could never tire of handmade ceramics, used as a stand alone decorative piece or to serve food and drink, it’s without saying that ceramics with their slight imperfections that make them even more aesthetically beautiful, have made a big come back in the last few years.
Serpent Sea Marine Rope Mats
There’s something so noble about boating marine rope. It’s strong, tactile and has lived many adventures. But at the end of its boating life, what becomes of it? An ingenious Austrian girl living in New York, Sophie Aschauer, is giving them the dignified retirement that they deserve, weaving them into colourful mats and I have to say, when I first saw them, my heart skipped a few beats, they are divine!
The Swing Arm Lamp
At last we’ve finally unpacked most of our boxes and found a place for all of our furniture! Although we haven’t yet hung our frames and all of the decorative bits and bobs, what we have done, is install our retro swing wall arm lamp. The last time we had it up was in Sydney so we’ve really missed it! It looks so cool and I haven’t seen one like it before – I’ll definitely take some photos in the next couple of weeks to show you, but until then, I thought I’d round up a few of my favourite swing arm lamps:

H Y S J – The First Collection
There’s a little buzz going around the design and home decor blogging world. On Friday, H Y S J released its first collection of limited addition prints and they are divine!
A Birdy Told Me
I would like a little bird. Not a real one; I can’t bare to see birds in cages now. We had one, like a lot of families did in the eighties and it was interesting how this little budgerigar was such an integral part of the family. He spoke, well swore actually, he’d welcome our guests with “hello you silly little bastard”. It took us a while to figure out where he’d learn such language and in the end put it down to a drink delivery man who most probably put his finger in the cage and would have gotten bitten, Ben had a sharp bite, so no doubt said that to him each time he delivered.
