THE quintessential MAGAZINE

The Collector's issue of THE quintessential MAGAZINE is full of the inspiring, the found, the unusual and the beautiful just like the store that gave it birth, quintessential duckeggBLUE. Dinosaur Designs’ Louise Olsen talks about the inspiration behind her new Ocean collection. Überstylist Glen Proebstel captures the magic of heartfelt treasures in New York and author Karen McCartney reveals how a misspent youth in London forged her style. And then there are the collections! Bobbins, bread boards, shoe lasts, potato mashers … how ordinary things can be extraordinary.

Moody and industrial

As much as I love bright, white spaces I am also a big fan of dark, moody and industrial spaces as well. I spotted these 2 homes on MilK magazine's site and had to share. LOVE. So unpretentious and full of character. 

Happy birthday Est!

I can't believe it! My how time flies. Est Magazine turns 2 with Issue #9 out now. No terrible twos tantrums for the Est team though, just wonderful, wonderful homes and lifestyle the very best from Australia and around the world. Seriously my favourite online magazine. Here's a little sneak peek at what you'll find in the latest issue... te contemporary French inspired home of the Hilary Gwillam from Melbourne homeware emporium, Manon. The photographer is Tara Pearce and producer/stylist Stephanie Stamatis.

Happy Friday!

Inside Out is out

I love it when an email from Inside Out magazine is waiting in my inbox. Not only do I get to chat with Lee Tran Lam, managing editor, but she sends me big, juicy images from the latest issue to share with you. And they are gorgeous, big, juicy pictures this month.

The home belongs to Romy Sormann and her family. Romy collaborated with her brother, Jamie Sormann of Foong + Sormann, on the Melbourne renovation. The story is styled by Rachel Vigor and photographed by Derek Swalwell. The new May/June Inside Out is out on Wednesday. Run, don't walk into your local newsagents and grab your copy if you aren't already a subscriber. Don't fret if you aren't in Australia though because you can read along on Zinio, Google Play and the Apple Newsstand!

P.S. The cover is Brisbane stylist Kara Rosenlund's beautiful home. Can't wait to see more!
