Arran Gregory sculpture

These sculptures are so brilliant - what stunning pieces. Desperate for a mirrored rhino head near our dining table. (Yep, chalk that up with the other 'phrases I never thought I'd say'!)

Office Space Pretties

Yes, I know. I'm not an artist. Or a stylist or in any creative industry. But what I wouldn't give for an arty office like this one. I'm sure the tech company I work at would get behind this, right?!

DIY Pendant Light

Just love this pendant light. Everything about it looks delightful. (And the print is pretty gorgeous, too).

The Art Of Dominique Falla

This post pointed me to the work of Dominique Falla, and you guys, I am a wee bit obsessed.  This above work is extraordinary and I can't stop looking at it. Need to buy me some cotton and some nails...

Swatch This Space

Am trying to store up ideas of fun and renter-friendly designs as we plan to move in the coming weeks/months. This beautiful paint swatch wall jumped out at me: just stunning. Will be keeping this one on the mental clipboard :)

Zig Zag Tray

Well isn't this little tray a beauty? Looks delightfully organised. I'm back in Sydney this week after sneaking out last week for a surprise trip for the Pal's birthday. I'll upload photos soon...

Anni Albers Prints

Love these minimalist and modern patterns and textile hangings by Anni Albers - the last one is some pretty ambitious quilt making inspiration!

Skull Shelves

These skull shelves are just beautiful. Love that you can look at them and not see the skull and then BAM! Skull!

Wooden vases

Stunning wooden vases. Just so you know, they're sold out, but still just so pretty to look at here.

Floating shelves

I know I've posted something similar to this before - still drawn to little boxes, drawers and compartments and a house-shaped one is delicious. Enjoy!

Kosney Wall Units

Just adore these wall units. Sensationally cute and super practical. I am lucky Kosney doesn't ship to Australia...

Screenprinting Course

Maria and I went to a screenprinting course on Saturday and had a great time. It turns out that screenprinting is really hard! Above is my tea towel. I tried to channel Kylie but in the end I borrowed Maria's Paul Klee book and used him as the background.
Some neon pink rain drops popped up in the middle...
...and Maria's paper planes made an appearance on the corner.
And then this little circle hung out at the top.

A great day of crafting - an extremely tricky skill, this screenprinting, but I'm excited to try more.

Sandflora Waratah Lights

Loving these new lamps by Aussie company Sandflora - they look like our state flower, the Waratah, in a really elegant way.

Display case love

More and more I find myself drawn to little shelves and nooks in which to display things. Just like these ones: the very Scandinavian aesthetic is delicious.

Box Storage

Some year's ago my sister made a very similar construction to this - it appeals very much to my love of boxes. Love the pastels here.

Wardrobe Room

Obviously I don't have a spare room to devote to a wardrobe, but if I did, I'd like to hope it might look like this. I love the way you can see everything at once: it seems like it could be easier to get dressed in here!

Trunks in rooms

Loving this big old trunk. I bought a similar one recently, and I have yet to show it to you: it's in a spot which seems a bit diabolically bad for photographing, but I'll do my best soon. I do love how these two are stacked on top of each other...

Tara Donovan

When I first saw these images, I thought they were stunning, swirling circles drawn in pencil. On closer inspection, I realised they are made up of small pins! Beautiful work by artist Tara Donovan.

Birdcage Window

My beautiful cousin Sarah made her window into a birdcage - and was kind enough to let me gush about it here. I adore it - the hanging cranes, the cool colour on the walls. One day I'll have to show you the rest of the house...
