Temple & Webster names the Homewares Trends we can’t stop Buying
I love reading about trends. I love it when forecasters predict what's coming up, I love seeing them hit stores and I love seeing how people interpret them in their homes.It's the latter category that often intrigues me most. It's all very good and well for a forecaster to tell us that a Nordic theme is on the way, for example, but it doesn't always mean we want to adopt the look.
Designer Pendant Lights from Aussie Coco Reynolds
Earlier this year I had the pleasure of attending Temple & Webster's Emerging Designer Awards showcase, which featured a slew of amazing creatives and their work. The talented Coco Reynolds took home the People's Choice Awards for her Bright Beads Pendant
Get yourself Some Florence Broadhurst.
Her iconic designs are sprawled across bedding, homewares, iPhone cases and a slew of other decor delights; it was only a matter of time before Florence Broadhurst set her sights on travel goods. Get your hands on some of these glorious designer goodies ASAP if not sooner, I say!
Loving these Fair-Trade Storage Solutions.
You know how food always tastes better when someone else makes it for you? That's kinda how I feel about fair-trade endorsed homewares. There's a feelgood factor to decorating your home with such items - and it doesn't hurt when they look as good as the storage solutions in today's post, either!

Photo Diary: My Morning at Grand Designs Live
This weekend saw the landing of Grand Designs Live in Darling Harbour and I had to jet on down to take in all the interior and gardening goodness. And goodness there was; the place was full of local Creatives doing
Must-Have Rugs: Chevron, Stripes and Diamonds
Rugs are the new cushions if you ask me; they're so affordable nowadays that you can swap them around at a moment's notice when you tire of your old one (unlike when they swapped old Pippa for new Pippa on Home and Away - that was just too big a change for me to handle). The added bonus with smaller, lightweight rugs like the ones above is that you can layer them for a relaxed and casual vibe that still packs a visual punch (and you can score them at a discounted price - read on!)
I attended the Temple & Webster Styling Workshop at ISCD
It's safe to say that nothing will keep me away from my love of styling. When I was offered the chance to attend the Temple & Webster styling workshop at the International School of Colour and Design on Saturday, not even the wet and wild Sydney weather could hold me back. Not only did I walk away with the tools to complete my living room look, but I got to meet Temple & Webster superstar (and my personal interiors icons) Karen McCartney. Cue the crazy fan moment!
