1 help

So you know how I found my happy place when I stumbled upon this dining table base (above) a few weeks back? Well I have decided to disassemble my tulip marble dining table (below) and use the marble top on the gold base but now my idea of having Bertoia's is moot, as it will clash with the gold. I need help with finding the right dining chair. I am thinking I will have to go safe white but I am happy to be challenged on this one. Any suggestions? 

What about these Starck Masters chairs?

3 west elm sydney

I finally made it out to West Elm/Pottery Barn/Williams Sonoma in Bondi last Saturday and was a little underwhelmed to tell you the truth. West Elm was pretty good, good to have another option other than Freedom et al but I was expecting more. As for Pottery Barn, I won't be rushing back there, it's a paint by numbers cookie cutter store in the palest of beiges. Willams Sonoma was good, great kitchen ware store and the cooking school was beautiful (plus one of the store boys looked EXACTLY like Robert Pattinson, english accent and all). This may sound rather negative, but I did find lovely things I would be more than thrilled to have in my home. Take this pink and orange rug above, or the marble topped spaghetti side table, or the faceted coffee table. I also found some great fur cushions and of course the chevron pouf. Anyone bought anything from there yet?

1 up north

Han and I are thrilled to be going up to Brisbane for the June long weekend to shoot some incredible spaces for Adore Home Magazine. I look forward to sharing some sneak peeks and behind the scenes upon our return so watch this space!

1 serpent and the swan / bones

My brother in law's fiance Hayley has an AMAZING fashion label Serpent and the Swan with her sister Lauri. They recently showed at fashion week here in Sydney and included some delightful curiosities. I gave them a few bags full of a cow skeleton from my uncles farm a while back and they turned them into the most incredible objects d'art (below). To say I am obsessed with these copper dipped delights is an understatement, the only question is which one do I buy?!? SATS have also included bookends and coasters in the collection which you can order by contacting them through their website here 

2 shoot day

Hannah and I shot 2 beautiful homes last weekend for Adore Home Magazine, one a large open planned family home and the other a small modern apartment for a young married couple. Really looking forward to sharing these with you soon. In the mean time here are a few teaser pics, thanks so much Sal and Simone for having us!

1 delightful finds

I have been rather successful in my op shopping of late, prime example was finding my sister in law Alice new dining chairs. My honeypot Goodwill came through with these pale pink beauties. Alice has promised to keep us all updated with their makeover so stay tuned!

These stone coffee tables were very hard to pass up, the perfect neutral shade.

I thought this sofa was sweet in all it's pale pink glory

I purch'd this glass Alexander Wang ashtray (for decoration purposes only ;)) and when I posted it on Instagram someone tagged Alexandra Von Furstenberg who then got her Director of Operations in on it saying they were direct copies of hers WHOOPS! Let's see them disappear off Mr Wang's website now. Click here to see AVF's designs.

I had a visit to Mitchell Road Antique Centre and came across this insane chair at Drawing Room Theory, isn't it heaven?

Until next time peeps...
