Happy Hump Day

Right now, it's about 997 degrees outside. Kidding. It's more like 40. To survive this heat wave, me thinks I'm going to need to buy a canoe. Just like this one.

Love Match

Not sure about you, but predictable day-of-loving gifts, read: red roses, teddy bears and heart-shaped balloons, make me queasy. If I had my way, everyone the world over would be getting one, or all of these treats delivered to them on February 14th. It's not that far off, you know?

1. 'For Like Ever' print because unlike a box of soft-centred chocolates, you will keep it for... like, ever. Cupid can BUY IT FOR YOU HERE.

2. A message in a bottle, like this one that you can keep adding to each year. You can buy it for your someone-special,HERE.

3. Cheeky and light-hearted, you can stock up on more dry/witty/funny/ridiculous prints just like this one, HERE.

4. For the many cosy nights in on the lounge together that lie ahead. It's from the worlds most loveable designer, Jonathan Adler, so naturally you're going to love it, too.

Currently craving: bookends

I've got a serious soft spot for bookends and this set from Anthropologie had me at hello. If only I hadn't spent like crazy in Hawaii...

Too cool for school.

Considering most Aussie kids are enjoying their last day of summer holidays today before school goes back on Monday, I thought this site, ReForm School, was suitably fitting. It's got Donna Wilson bits and bobs coming out of its ears, too-great-to-write-with pencils and loads more cool stuff, like this print, for only 60 big ones, that'll have you wishing you were back in grade 9 all over again.

Simple and true:

P.S Hawaii was ah-may-sing. Will post photos over the weekend.

Aloha!

I'm taking a much-needed break with my mum and sister to Hawaii for the next week and a bit. I'll be back on the 27th of January with more House Mad goodness. Mahalo!

Queensland needs your help

I couldn't bring myself to blog about interiors this morning knowing that thousands of people living in Queensland have lost their homes in the floods. To find out how you can donate, please visit here.

Black + White = Perfection x100.

This is one room you could most definitely share with your man. I've never been a huge fan of black leather lounges, but this picture may have just changed my mind for good.
