I’m almost speechless after viewing the portfolio of designer Marjorie Skouras. Stunning jewel tones used in over-the-top but not overwhelming doses creates such a glamourous and spicy atmosphere. I’m in awe of how daring her spaces are.

Halloween is coming up and Matthew Mead could not be more ready for it. He’s got a new Halloween magazine out, his site has been updated with all sorts of things to prepare for the holiday, tons of fantastic recipes and of course, gorgeous photos. So here’s a peek, but do go check it out for yourselves.

A little while ago I hinted that I had a big project I was working on. Well, I thought it was about time to let you all in on it. Several months ago Jo and I were contacted by Mike at Greentea Design who was interested in an ad on the blog. I was stoked about this because I had seen their timber, Asian-style kitchen cabinets before and thought they were fantastic. I thought about how horrible my existing kitchen was and a lightbulb went off – why not see if they’d sponsor a kitchen reno project? And what do you know – they went for it!!! They agreed to supply me with the cabinets I needed, and in return I would blog about my kitchen renovation (most of which will be included on a new blog) from planning down to the finished product. A pretty decent tradeoff considering this is what I was working with:

(I had to use an old photo here because I know some of you will be sad to see the kitchen as it is now go in the dumpster).

About a week ago I posted a photo of my kitchen, and mentionned a huge project I’ve been working on that I will be blogging about. My first post of this new project is tomorrow, so be sure to come back and check it out. But first, here’s another hint.

Jo posted the work of photographer Janne Peters about a year ago, and I thought we were about due for round two. Her photos are so beautiful that they warrant another look.
