Sarah's chairs

Remember our Matt Blatt competition? Those fab chairs? Sarah, the lucky winner has sent us a pic.

"I just wanted to say another big thank you for picking me as the winner of the Matt Blatt Acapulco replica's, they've arrived and are as comfortable as they look. I prefer using them outside but when I'm not, they make a nice little nook under my favourite painting in the lounge room!"

Very cool Sarah!

Psssst ....

Matt Blatt store opening and competition

Thursday night in Brisbane saw several hundred people join me at the opening of Matt Blatt's new store in Doggett St, New Farm. What a great night! I turned up a little early to take some snaps. I knew once the crowds poured in it would be difficult  to do anything except talk furniture and blogs, champagne in hand. I'm really excited about the new pieces that Matt Blatt are introducing to their already extensive range. Lots of ethnic and colour brights, quirky boho and beautiful contemporary timber pieces. Loved the rugs too but that's no surprise because we all know I have a rug fetish. Thank you to the Matt Blatt crew for inviting me to be part of their special night. If you are in the south east Queensland area you really should drop in to the New Farm store and say hi to Aleks and his team.

P.S. Don't forget our Matt Blatt giveaway for Australian readers. It is open for another week and I can tell you that having seen the chairs in person they are fab! Talk about a summer tonic. Head over here to enter.
