Interior Envy - Simone Kelly





I'm loving all of the details of this little place.
Just enough white to be calm and peaceful.
Just enough wood to be warm.
Just enough design to be cool.
Just enough colour to be exciting.


And apparently the whole apartment went up for auction in May. 
Kudos to whoever nabbed it!

Colour Pop! Kate Banazi


After three failed trips to three different stores and after sending my husband out on a special search, I finally have my new agenda to kick off my new year. I really can't live without one. It is my way of organizing all the ideas, thoughts, inspiration and junk in my head and I even manage to write down appointments too! I use the Moleskine Weekly Notebook. It's the format I like best, with the week on the left page and a blank notepage on the right. The left works for all the timed activities and the right page is my running to-do this. Maybe I have over thought this but I like my planner just the way I like it.

So now that I have my handy helper in hand, let's tackle this year!
I fell hard for these images from the Design Files interview with Kate Bazani. She's a British silkscreening/illustrator/collage artist based out of Sydney and I just think her work oozes RAD.
I enjoyed the article very much - she's as funny as she is creative - and I really like her use of colour, geometry and the unexpected!

The bottom images are her work (find her portfolio here) but the first few images are of her workspace.
I couldn't resist including all the ink images!

Retail Lust - Douglas and Bec, Auckland

I am glad I do not live nearby. A whole world away, actually, because I think I'd spend way too much money at this perfectly curated store. Or at least waste too much time salivating.






My favourite piece is the "I did this instead of going out" Print/Graphic.
