It won’t shock you when I reveal that I’ve always been a fan of a pop of colour. It certainly helps my cause – when I’m trying to justify my homewares spending to my partner – when colourful homewares come with added benefits in terms of…
I’m a firm believer in being inspired by the everyday. I think if you look hard enough, you can pretty much use anything in your everyday life (even the seemingly mundane) to inspire an interior design scheme.
It could be a tree you pass on the way to work, a piece of jewellery you wear all the time, an old bowl you have at home, or in my case – random moments I see when I’m out running. And sometimes you’re not sure why these moments appeal to you, or why they move you, but they do.
It’s a well-known fact that I don’t get very creative in the kitchen. I leave those culinary adventures to my partner Gavin, who in return generally lets me have my run of the house when it comes to decorating (apart from that time he put me on a cushion ban).
When it comes to baking or cocktails, though, you can bet your bottom dollar that I want in on the fun.
The fruity homewares and stationery craze refuses to go away – which is probably a good thing considering I adore the tropical colour story this aesthetic brings to a space. Although I did declare a short while ago that ceramic pineapples are officially over, I never threw all fruits under the bus – and I think they’re divine in many respects.
A TLC reader emailed me recently asking for some tips on how to style her dining table. It wasn’t until I read the email that I remembered I used to have issues doing this in my own home many moons ago, too. The dining table is a little…
Dear Ceramic Pineapple, I think it was through a press release from Freedom that first met. I probably gasped aloud and exclaimed to myself that you were the best thing since sliced bread and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on you. And I…
Those crafty critters at Cotton On Kids – bless their hearts – have just released their latest instalment of kids bedding just in time for Christmas. Featuring pastels, polka dots and an array of bright colours, this collection is so dreamy I might have to work…
I just found out this week that I’m going on a summer holiday. Naturally, the tailspin ensued starring the realisation that I’d not done enough exercise throughout winter and ate my way through at least 57,363 pizzas. I also got my hands on the Blitz2Go blender from…
Last week I had the pleasure of jetting down to Melbourne to take in the wonder of the Cotton On Group Christmas preview. As the mother biz of Cotton On, Cotton on Kids, Typo and more, the company hosted an extravaganza of decor goodness. It would be criminal of me not to show you the best bits from Cotton On Kids. And trust me, adults, when I say that you’ll want this stuff for your own space!
This week gone by I have to admit that I got out and about a fair bit. From Newtown to Bondi Junction and beyond, I took in many a Sydney Homewares piece – and added a dash of fashion for good measure. Let me know which find is your fave, Creatives!
1 | My friend Kevin popped over this week gone by to check out the new digs and brought with him this glorious present from Pentimento in Newtown – a glorious Kobo Candle. The Vetiver and Shaved Vanilla scent is absolute nirvana for the nostrils and I can’t put it down. If you’re yet to experience Kobo, you don’t know what you’re missing!
