Yuta Badayala [In a new light]

Another day at the office until I got to see specifying 'In a new light'. Koskela entered our office and shared some of their inspiring projects and pieces with us and I found their approach to design and our world utterly refreshing!

Everything Koskela is sourced locally within Australia and more than 80% of it is all GECA certified which means it's nothing short of brilliant environmentally, but further to that Koskela is embracing and supporting our Australian Indigenous culture and their remarkable talent and skills and helping them build a stronger and more successful life for their community. Check out the youtube feature clip above to see one super amazing project & some of the amazing talent that we get to share with such joy!

Me to a Tea




It's autumn, the mornings and evenings are getting bitterly cold despite the lovely warm sunshine throughout the rest of the day & for the past week I've had a terrible cold :( But it has also meant that I've rediscovered the joy of a hot cup of tea :)... and how much more lovely would that tea be served in these beautiful ceramic mugs by Australia Ceramicist Samantha Robinson... oh Bliss*

The Longest 7 Days

This time next week H & I will be settling into our new home. It's not at all what we imagined we'd buy, we were actually after a character home like a villa or bungalow & colonial had never crossed our mind as an option - at all, as most we'd ever seen were just blah. But here it is... well, before we get to work on it... which is what we are both looking forward to the most - something to put our stamp on.

It's actually quite a super cute place - for a colonial - and the moment we walked in there was such a sense of calm and homeliness in every light filled space, that with the property ticking all the renovating potential boxes, it just felt right. The front yard is enormous & one of the first things we'll probably do is plant a hedge fence to keep our adorable Indi from exploring the neighbourhood at his own free will, but let me show you the before shots of the interior... It's going to be a relatively slow work in progress with renovations done as we can afford them... but goodness I love all the potential!

The Best Way to Feel Blue

The smile still on my face from reminiscing about Capri was turned into pure longing when I came across these gorgeous coastal blue hues featured by Ralph Lauren Home in their new 'La Plage' Collection... Fresh & Chic these pieces leave nothing but desire for 'having the blues'
