Interior Beauty

I am really loving these stylish interior ideas, particularly with the classic grey, black and white colour scheme. 

Paper Globes

While on my current crafty kick I couldn't go past these lovely paper globes. What a great way to use up some old books, a foam ball and some time!

Pom Poms

I love a great pom pom, and I have recently found these beautiful fabric versions (thanks to Pinterest). Here is a cute 'How To' for a tissue paper pom pom, how cute!

More Plate Walls

While I am yet to get cracking on my plate wall, I have found some more inspiration. Love the all white plate version. i would ned to develop a whole new wall for that... and get some more plates!

Orchid

This beautiful orchid is a gorgeous addition to our bathroom at the moment. Simply stunning.

MIFGS

Gorgeous plants and flowers at the 2011 Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show.

SushiBird Tile

As I was skimming through Home Beautiful magazine I saw these gorgeous handmade tiles by The Red Thread. These vibrant, graphic birds are created from Japanese papers nest on stylised background patterns inspired by nature. The white line work illustrations are hand painted on solid natural timber, and each element of the SushiBird is lovingly cut by hand from carefully combined paper colours and patterns, creating a stylish, elegant work of art with a contemporary feel. SushiBird Tiles are made in a limited edition of 50, and each tile is personally signed and numbered by artist Lisa Tilse. As they are individually created by hand, no two will ever be the same. Finished with a semi-gloss varnish for protection, the piece has a luxurious sheen that enhances the natural grain and warmth of the timber. Available at Udessi from $150.00 each. Inspiring!

Nuzzles

The brainchild of Chicago based designer John Christensen, Nuzzles are custom designed, handmade wooden letter puzzle, that can spell out the word or name of your choice in its own unique typographic style. Between 4-5 inches tall and about 3-4 inches deep, you can have any name up to 12 characters long created just for you at around USD$12 per letter ($2 extra for colour or stain and + shipping). Love, love, love :)

Plate Wall

Ever since I first had dinner at 'Dish' in St.Kilda Road Melbourne, I have wanted to create a Plate wall in my Kitchen. It seems that I am not the only one who sees the beauty in plates. Angela Hardson and Lisa Congdon have both created a beautifully colourful example (courtesy of Design Sponge). Now that I have a house of my own I am no longer constrained by the rental rules. Finally I will be able to make my Plate wall dreams come true. When I do, I will be sure to post it :)

Amor Jewelry

Another great find thanks to Daily Candy. Refreshingly modern and at the height of fashion right now, Amor Jewlery is handmade in New York by Sandee Shin is inspired by battle wear. These scuptural ready to wear peices make a statement and are sure to be a talking point.

BeeGee Bags

I discovered BeeGee bags through Daily Candy, and they are so beautiful they would be sure to add elegance to any outfit. I love them all, so much so that I cannot decide which one I want more (I cam currenly on a shoes and handbag diet, so I can only have one!). They are all reasonly priced (around US $80) and available via www.beegeebags.com

EcoCocoon

Those awesome retro red cups are back, and better than ever! They are made from stainless steel and a free from the residual chemical taints that come from many plastic items. They also do our landfill a favour, providing a safe, durable (and virtually indestructible) alternative to plastic and polystyrene.

Thanks to the Cool Hunter for putting me onto London-based graphic designer and illustrator, Nikki Farquharson. Her ongoing project, Mixed Media Girls, gives the viewer a lot to look at. The collages appear innocent and sweet but at the same time sharp and edgy.
