Colouring my life

I'm all jet lagged. I hate it. Its 4am and I have been awake for a couple of hours now dreaming about all the wonderful things I could have if money grew on trees. I've been dreaming about the direction I want to take the design on our home. We have some money aside that people gave us as gifts for our wedding and we have decided that we are going to put it towards and new dining room setting. After much research on my behalf, going from Eames Eiffel bases with a vintage table, to stock standard IKEA settings, Jarrod and I have finally agreed on a setting style that will reflect who we are.Different coloured Thornet Bentwood chairs with arm chairs at either end of a worn oak table. And I feel that it is the perfect inspiration for the future design development of our home.first image from here

If we were to have a shop...

It would look something like this...

Mary and I love to dream about the great heights our event styling business could go (will go). This is one of them that is just meant to be. So us! So fun! So expensive... It would be nice to win the lottery, then we could just open a shop up straight away! Who cares about all the risks right?? Ha I wish. It would be so nice (long term) also to renovate a place for a new modern wedding/event venue in Adelaide. *sigh* another one of those big expensive dreams.

IDEA Awards

I don't think i mentioned i am an interior architect ( i dont like to limit myself to one creative practice). But I am extremely excited to say that one of the main projects (Canon 3000sqm) i worked on when I was working for Cunsolo Architects in Melbourne last year, has just been shortlisted for an IDEA award! Fingers crossed!

My Two Favourite Florists

After seeing this image via Black*Eiffel, I just had to post images of my two most favourite flower rooms in Flinders Lane in Melbourne. Whitemoss and Pollen. Their window fronts are constantly changing with gorgeous little quirky elements (tennis balls in pollen's image and the little white rabbits in Whitemoss). My favourite would have to be Pollen though, because it is always done up like an enchanted forest. LOVE
