Need now: Glass planters from Score and Solder

OK. I'll admit it, I'm hooked on the idea of indoor plants, but these artwork-like glass planters from Score and Solder have taken my obsession to a whole new level. In fact, they're so popular, they're currently on back order til mid October.

Some of my handiwork on show: HSW 2012 Catalogue

So, earlier this year, I had the delight of styling the 2012 Howards Storage World catalogue (you can check it out online over here) and I'm over-the-moon to see that it's finally in-store. I had a blast of a time working on the project and I'm pretty chuffed with how it looks.

A big thanks to my friend, Lou, over at Table Tonic for a) alerting me to the fact that it's in-store and b) for having such wicked Ikat cushions and Moroccan leather pouffes that we used throughout the catalogue.

Colour of the week: purple

I rarely go for purple, but there's something refreshingly soothing about this whole set up, starting with that giant chunk of amethyst goodness...

How's this for a feature wall, folks?

Try Something New Tuesday: Paint Tins As Table Centre Pieces

I've already started collecting a few, but if you can't find decent-loking paint tins, try large food cans, like the ones you get tinned fruit in.

The Renovation Files: kitchen

I'm no whiz-bang cook, so I feel way out of my depth when it comes to renovating our kitchen. I think that's why I like this one so much. It's so simple, airy, and light. There's nothing intimidating or serious about it. The only thing I'd change would be the black bench tops and handles for something white.

Obsession for the week: Blacklist Studio's (new) Vintage World Map

A couple of weeks back I had morning tea at my friend Jaynie's house (who, apart from being the world's most stylish mum, also happens to be one half of Aussie design powerhouse, Blacklist Studio) where she had one of these cracker vintage-looking maps hanging on her lounge-room wall (see pic below). It doesn't take a genius to know how much I love maps, so you can imagine how giddy I was when she told me they were releasing them as part of a new collection.

Each limited art work is printed on canvas and hand-mounted onto a timber baton. I want one for our new apartment. Real bad.
