Living Etc magazine fix

9 02 2010

I wait patiently every month for a copy of Living Etc magazine to hit the stands, but when I absolutely can’t wait any longer I take a sneak peek online at their condensed digital edition.
We’re always over 2 months behind as it comes from the UK, so a sneak peek is often entirely necessary.
Saw this incredible kitchen in the digital edition this morning:

Flip through the March 2010 magazine online now.





Alison Carmichael

9 02 2010

I’m a sucker for beautiful typography and this caught my eye and made me smile:

Alison Carmichael is an exceptionally talented ‘typographer’, I was in awe browsing her site and loved the personality she infuses into the ad campaigns she’s been involved with, by using whimsical fonts.





Wall decals

8 02 2010

I love the idea of wall decals as a solution for a temporary space or just to add humour or colour to an otherwise dull wall. Saw this very cool one on FutureShelter and had to share:

My i heart market haul

8 02 2010

Even though I was dosed up to the fluey eyeballs and the heat was unbearable, I couldn’t be held back and I popped into the i heart market on Saturday to stock up on some lisa & jo goodies…
The stationery items are fabulous and the painting and drawing kits wonderful, I just need more cash!
Spoiled myself with some cute heart shaped chopsticks, much needed gift tags and a very necessary stamp, my first of many I suspect…

The heart brooch was from tart…

Frank Features

4 02 2010


My extremely talented architect friend Lisa Rorich, told me about this incredible partnership last night over sushi and I immediately set about finding out more today. Coelho Culture pipped me to the post though, but it shows how much of the same wavelength we are on! 

Am completely enamoured by the interiors I’ve seen in the likes of House & Leisure & Elle Decoration, so to find out that Kerryn Fischer & Luanne Toms have collaborated to bring us interior features they have produced, styled or written is truly magnificent news.  

Their online portfolio is chock a block full of the most incredible interiors, I’ve been poring over it for a full hour and am in love…
