Sunday session 5.10.14

I was thinking earlier this week how lucky I am to live and work back in my hometown, where all of the projects I currently have on the go require me to drive no more than half an hour from my house. I spend my afternoons watching the sky change from a cheerful blue to purple with coral and orange sunset streaking across it and then fade to navy while walking along the stretch of beach that I grew up on. (No wonder I have so much colour inspiration!) In all of my travels I still haven’t found a more tranquil place than East point Fannie Bay. It really is the simple things in life that bring the most joy.

This is what I have been up to, in brief sneaky peaky form.

I love this child’s bedroom and am using parts of this as inspiration for my friends nursery, I really hope she is having a boy as I have lots of boys ideas but not many girls at this stage. Love the mint green and red/ blue stripe combo This is what I am thinking if said nursery needs to be for a girl, I am over pink and lilac so I am thinking a rainbow mix of gypsy patchwork quilt colours will be my inspiration. I will use vintage babushka dolls as wall decoration and whimsical forrest style prints on the walls

I have been neglecting my own kitchen job again in between everything I am doing for others but every now and then I come across an image and stash it away in my desktop folder as something I will add to our house. The fella has some time off coming up so he will be put to work building shelves this time I think..he isn’t aware of this yet but he soon will be. (cue evil grin).

How fantastic are these lights made from an old bed springs? I am not having these, but I will be having some recycled timber floating shelves

I will also be having lots of these utensil rails cos one can never have enough cooking thingys. I LOVE to cook. love it!

A cute idea, I am having a blackboard door in our kitchen (to write cooking lists on) and cutesy little sayings when the mood so takes me so don’t really need another one like this but I love the idea so I might use it elsewhere to write little love notes on

I have specified this peacock planter (by Vondom) for a local foyer which I think would make a great centrepiece but the building committee think it would attract the admiration of the late night yobbos who live in the building..fair point – it would catch my attention too if I came swanning past it in a lobby all full of champagne and smartarse ideas and I am not gonna lie…I would probably want to ride it too! So I on the hunt for a suitable alternative planter/ vase that still has some wow factory. If you are a supplier and you have something for me get in touch, or if you have seen something lovely- let me know as I am finding this beauty hard to match
As well as loving this dress to WEAR (No i didn’t buy it but i really want to) I am taking the colours from this for a rather bold home I am doing for someone…FINALLY someone is being brave and letting me do some radical jazzing up of things with their old timber house. And yes I will probably give in to temptation and buy the damn dress for a race day function eventually.

I am doing some lighting selections for another client, so far they like nothing I have suggested but we continue to chatter about ideas…and I continue to tell them to “just trust me god dammit” and pick black!

Some furniture I am using for another client, black is popular with me at the moment and I have been talking a few clients not letting me be bold in their renovations.
Cute! I am TRYING to use this for job at the moment with a bold colour scheme … see further below

Dark denim blue, bold lilac and grey with abit of crisp white plus some hints of copper and cold metals tones – my next project is turning out to be very exciting

Thats it from me today I am exhausted after a day out on the water where I got a STACK of colour inspiration from my friends catamaran and the jewel shades of water and sandy shores and rugged cliffs and yachts …quick someone engage me about doing a nautical inspired home while its all still fresh in my mind 🙂

I don’t often post pics of the fella on my blog but this photo is too gorgeous not too. I will get around to doing that photography course one day soon and then you will be bombarded with my happy snaps
