Wallpaper Exotic from Wall Candy - Bridget Black Salon Mt Lawley
It's time to buy a to new foundation so I stopped by Bridget Black's store in Mt Lawley on the weekend and met Bridget herself. She is down to earth, friendly, helpful and generous. She popped some foundation on me and suggested I go home and see what a thought. Her products and showroom are gorgeous. The showroom is beautifully decorated featuring Julien Mcdonald's wallpaper (above pic).

I really enjoy looking over Reece's Inspirational Bathrooms. It's well worth spending some time looking through all the different designs. These are real bathrooms. There is a gap between real bathrooms and displays shown in magazines and product shots. Take a look and see what I mean. Each design shows additional images, a floor plan and links to the products.

I finally got around to re-covering this old office chair we have had for years. You can get a glimpse of it's original look from the first picture. Yep, ugly! It was a little tricky without a pattern but not impossible. I picked up the fabric from Spotlight for $25 p/m and with my trusty staple gun completed the project over a few days. Now I am on the hunt for some trim to cover the staples on the back rest.
Wow...I adore these bathroom designs by Helena Farrell of ID Interior Designers. So glamorous, so stylish, so elegant. Marble tiles and Bisazza glass mosaic feature walls appear to be her trademark. She has selected high quality fittings and it has paid off beautifully. The divine venetian mirrors over the vanity are from Baker & Shuhandler and the gilt bevelled mirror is from Scurrs Antiques. Her home is featured in the Autumn 2009 issue of Perth Habitat & Lifestyle magazine.
I really like this new kitchen mixer from Franke ... the Planar TA7800 with 'light'. There are a few kitchen mixers on the market with lights. Such as KWC , Newform and Gessi. These models have the light in the aerator section. So when you turn the water on a blue (cold water) or red light (hot water) is visible. There are no coloured lights with the Planar, just a good clear light which lights up your sink area. Want to see one? Sea of White in Osborne Park is the place to go.
I been drooling over these 'pink' rooms in Casa Idea magazine for ages. I fall in love with them each time I look at them. I often overlook pink or seem to stereotype it as 'kids' colour.
Well not anymore. Pink is now on my radar.

I was looking through my archives earlier today and came across this pic I put together on Polyvore last year sometime. It has a contemporary Moroccan flavour. Most of the items can be sourced from somewhere where you live and of course online. However, I can't say I have seen anything like that lovely black and white rug from CB2 in Australia. It's funky and affordable.
I'm loving this home office featured in Inside Out (magazine) this month. Fabulous bit of styling and how groovy is that carousel storage unit. It's from Quintessential DuckeggBlue. I am in the middle of decorating and organising what is known to most people as the 'home office'. But, for me it's a shrine, a place of worship, a place where everything I love and want is gathered in the one place. It is a place where I receive inspiration and I place where I believe dreams can come true. Phew...now that was a bit heady. But I must admit I do treat it as shrine, I don't even sort the mail, pay bills and sort all the household paper work from my shrine. I have another desk where all that stuff gets sorted. I will post some pics of my little shrine as it comes together.
Recently I submitted this bathroom design into the Crosby Tiles 'Student' Competition. It was quite interesting to submit work and be prepared to be judged. My theme was "I Love New York"and I drew my colour inspiration from the New York yellow cabs. The whole bathroom is tiled in glittering black Murano Glass mosaics. I adore black bathrooms, there is something mysterious and glamorous about them. The feature wall has a Tuxedo colour theme over the bathtub and appears to flow into the bath and over the edge. I chose a fabulous chandelier from Beacon Lighting, the Pinnacle to sit over the bath. I like the idea of blurring the line between bathroom and bedroom. Behind the wall is the business side of the bathroom with his and hers vanity and double shower cubicle. The wall hung vanity provides a burst of colour and showcases the counter top vanity design from Laufen's Alessi range and amazing tap ware from Newform all available from Sea of White in Perth.
