Displaying posts from July, 2007

I got a call this morning from my folks (and grandmother who’s here visiting) to tell me that they were 10 minutes from my house and heading out antiquing and asked if I wanted to tag along. UH……YEAH! To top it off, they were going to the same place where I scored most of my finds the last time. And OH MY, did I score again. It’s kind of dark and cloudy outside so I’ll take the evening to clean things up and post more photos tomorrow of everything in their new homes. Here’s a preview.

I thought I’d leave you with these fun photos highlighting the work of stylist Malina Pearson. I want to live in each one. Fun, light filled and with an indie edge. See more of her portfolio here. Have a great weekend!!

Kim and I receive so many emails sharing interesting blogs, websites and products that we decided to start a new feature. WINKS – weekend links. Here we’ll list what has come in during the week, things we think you’ll like to see. If you’d want to see your blog or website featured email us and if we think it fits with our readers we’ll link you.

• Cool art tutorial website and blog from Lara Berch. Just starting but promises to be heaps of fun!
• Lindsey recently purchased this great colour theory magnet set and thought we’d all be interested. Good idea for the fridge.
• Give Simple has made online gift giving easy.
• Rimadesio Boston has space-defining solutions for your home. Thanks for emailing your link Ashley. There are some drool worthy Italian storage and sliding wall ideas here.
• Siri from Norway wants to share her favourite blog imolly
• And finally Bhavna has a great new blog An Indian Summer that not only aims to introduce western design to her Indian readers but to share luscious Indian design with us. A definite read.

That’s enough for this week. We’ll hold some over for the next WINK. Remember if you have something you’d like us to link, email us.

This photograph takes me away to the sensory overload that is India. A homage to all things eastern. The senses are challenged but it is a place to relax. The image is captured beautifully by photographer Simon Upton. Admire his portfolio here.

There once was a man named Nicholas Haslam who ran a shop called the Nicholas Haslam Shop. He met Paolo Moschino who took over running the shop while Nicholas focused on interior design. The shop became so successful, Paolo began interior design work of his own. These are his photos.
