Sunday session 13.4.14

This commercial fit out took my eye this week, it reminds me of the Google head office that was done a few years ago and featured in Indesign magazine. Lots of pops of bright colour and a kind of edgy street vibe whilst still maintaining a professional corporate feel.

Saw this, liked it, saved it... can't remember what for, possibly as inspiration for an upcoming clients renovation I am doing — Saw this, like it, saved it..can’t remember what for, possibly as inspiration for an upcoming renovation I am doing for a client who has an array of eclectic artworks and trinkets that I need to blend in for her

Found this image of a gorgeous dining setting while browsing another chicky designers blog called ‘Amber Interiors’. Despite having an unimaginative website/ blog name she has some serious style and i like most of what I’ve stalked so far

AliceO-kitchenthrubathroom — A lovely little kitchen area I came across – i really like the rustic fee of this space, maybe its the bricks, maybe its the random artwork, maybe its the kitsch black adn white floor, maybe its the splash of blue- not sure but good all the same

heidi-garden3 — Saw this in a blog somewhere and saved it because it looks so tranquil. I am thinking about doing something to my little garden but dont know what yet so i’ll just start saving random ideas for now

Inside view from “Heidis living room” showing the cute patio garden outside. How awesome is that chair too?! Think I need one of those

This week something quite exciting happened involving Darwin’s blossoming fashion scene in the form of a new website, blog and facebook page dedicated to all that is stylish and unique about our little city. Check it out , its called The Darwin Calibre I think its all highly exciting and I’m pretty sure my friend who has started this site with her little gem of an idea does too, I actually thought about doing something like this afew years ago when I hosted the first ever Darwin fashion week and realised there was not a single blog dedicated to NT fashion despite an abundance of local textiles artists, designers and style sisters frocking up regularly… Obviously I never got around to starting a blog showcasing all of this great talent but I figured interior design is more my thing these days and left the brutal world of fashion to those already entrenched in it. Darwin Calibre – i think this site is one to watch and wish them all the very best.

not_all_those_who_wander_are_lost__by_explosive_pikachu-d5bhaiz — I have a serious case of itchy feet and have been dreaming of my next holiday destination and researching all sorts of remote islands. The fella and I are off on a 4WD trip through West Australia in August and planning on doing more of Vietnam over christmas but I feel like I need another short break to dream about in between

Art Design & a Dinosaur is an article I read and enjoyed this week. Along with this style file article showing off a South African beach house that just fuelled my wanderlust even more, South Africa is now near the top of my never ending list of places to visit.

If you enjoy abit of quirky comic style art there is a great exhibition that opened this week at Muk Muk Fine Art, 51 Smith St, Darwin and is showing until May.

A couple of other things I have to share are these furniture items that I am featuring in next months Darwin life magazine stylefile. They all appealed to me for their childlike whimsical styling.

Leaf sofa by Patricia Urquiola for Kartell

Gnome tables by Kartell (available from Space furniture)

E27 pendant light by Fatshack vintage- available in lots of colours they are like mini rough diamonds made from resin, think I am going to order some of these for my place

That’s me and all that I have been up to for the week, I now need to go and source the perfect sink for my own kitchen renovation which is turning out to be much harder than I would like so off to do more web browsing. If anyone knows where to find one of these that can be shipped to the Northern Territory this decade please let me know. :O
