Pink, pattern and upholstery projects

Posted in fabrics, pink, projects/ my work, yellow

It’s been a little while since my last post, and what can I say? Sometimes life and other things get in the way of quality blogging time.. This past week has been full of distractions, among them a sick toddler, a visit from my very good friend Carolyn from Adelaide (we spent a day working on plans for her new house), not to mention the brief diversion that was the Labor leadership challenge, work and regular homework and housework duties!

 

After a lot of umming and ahhing I decided on a hot pink fabric with stud trim for the re-upholstery of a French-style sofa. I’m really liking pink at the moment, paired with black and white or with other colours. The pink and yellow fabrics in one of the rooms above are just gorgeous together. And speaking of re-upholstery, I’m also really liking more than one fabric on the one piece at the moment. Like with the chairs above, using a solid on the front and a coordinating pattern on the backs for a subtle little surprise and added interest.

 

I’ve also been doing a lot of online house-stalking, I must post some this week!

Have a great day,

Naomi xx

Some Pretty Things

Posted in art walls, bedrooms, pink, purple, Uncategorized

Just a few of the things that are catching my attention today, soft pinks, deeper purples, velvets, flowers - all very romantic! But to me if you throw is some unpainted timber and some black and some straight lines (in furniture, lighting, or in organised art frames) jewel colours can be beautiful without being too feminine. In particular I love art displays like the one above- all faded neutral tones with gold, silver, and black.

Short but sweet today as I try to catch up on things in my office. On that note, I’m aware that my posts have been a little few and far between over the past couple of weeks..but I hope to be able to show a few more of the projects I’m working on as they come together leading up to Christmas..

Have a great Monday xx

Random thoughts on decor

Posted in Kitchens, musings, products, rugs, yellow and grey

I’ve been a bit of a slack blogger the past few days (at least it feels like it) but things are just so busy at the moment! It’s one of those times where a lot of things are happening at once on every front : home, work, family, and I admit that finding that perfect balance that includes time for blogging is something I’m still adjusting to. Please bear with me in my absences! But in between all the business there has to be time for contemplating some pretty things (sometimes it’s my daydreaming that keeps me sane, truly!). And here are some of them from today:

I’ve been thinking about putting a coloured (love pink!) fairly small sofa somewhere unexpected - like on a staircase landing under a big window. I can just picture the tops of the trees visible outside..Wouldn’t it look great with some of these?:

I know I’ve been talking a lot about rugs lately, but I keep seeing amazing ones:

Aren’t they incredible? I need more floors.

Also today I’ve fallen in love with the greys, the vein in the marble and the pop of yellow in this kitchen:

And the gold and silver, black and white and fun colour in this room caught my eye today too:

Hope you had a great Tuesday!

So Pretty

Posted in aqua, french style, purple, Uncategorized

What an amazing wall of portraits - all of women (?), such a beautiful collection.

The purples and aqua colours in this upholstery sing to me - and love that this classic chair and fabric is paired with sleek white furniture and a modern lamp.

 

Did you see the rest of Ruthie Sommers’ house in Lonny? So many classical elements and antiques paired with lots of colour - not to mention the gorgeous building that houses it all!

 

I love this vintage fashion shot- I’d love a big blown up version of it on a wall behind a sofa. Aren’t the colours beautiful?

 

My dream townhouse!

Have a great day xx
