Designer of the day: David Lawrence

As I was looking through David Lawrence's portfolio all I could think of is yummy, delicious and delightful. Maybe I was hungry at the time. Davids interiors are very sophisticated and livable. Some of the interiors that I post about I love to look at, but wouldnt actually live with. Sometimes they are to daring, bright, girly or eclectic for me. But I do still love them and appreciate them for what they are. But David's interiors are all very practical and livable. I could see myself living in any of these :)

Designer of the day: Kim Coleman

Im going to keep this post brief today, but I have wanted to share some pics from Kim coleman's portfolio. I found this lovely beach house on the House Beautiful website and I think its very sweet. You can also get some more info on her website.

Meet our newest family member..

After doing much research we decided to buy a little Ragdoll Kitten. She is so cute!! We have had a few adjustments to make but she is slowly settling in. I never realised how hard it is for little kittens to settle into their new home. The first night she was under the bed crying all night and she wouldnt come out. The second night we decided to leave her in the lounge room with her kitty bed and she didnt last long in there either. But instead she liked little hiding spaces like the TV cabinet. lol. Anyway hopefully tonight will be a little better.

Designer of the day: Bryn Dunn

The other day I was browsing through one of my favorite blogs  La Dolce Vita and I was reading a post called '10 things I can live without' and it was written by Bryn Dunn. I then noticed that Bryn has her own portfolio and I thought her work was amazing. I especially love the bedroom in the picture above. Hope you enjoy her work. You can check out more of her portfolio here. Bryn also has a great blog called Bryn Alexander.

Designer of the day: Christina Murphy

Usually when I am looking to feature a new designer in my 'Designer of the day post' I always try a find ones that I really really adore. But its not always that easy to fall in love with every one, so I get so excited when I  find designers that really jump out at me. When I was looking through Christina Murphy's portfolio there were so many interiors that were beautiful that it was  hard to choose which ones to post! Christina has been named as one of America's 'Top 100 Designers' by House Beautiful and has been featured on 'The View' and in magazines like House Beautiful, Lucky magazine, In Style Home and The New York Times.  I love the bright colours and dramatic patterns that Christina uses in her interiors. How amazing is the blue above. The glossy walls also add a dramatic touch too. (speaking of....what do you think about the glossy wall look?). Christina has used high gloss in a few of her rooms and I think it works really well. You can check out more of her portfolio to see more of her work. Oh and do do these images justice click to enlarge.

Holiday Time.

It is that time of year again where I get to go on holidays!!!! Im so excited because this year I am going to the US, UK and Europe and maybe a stop over in Asia for a few days. In the US im going to Vegas, Chicago and New York and in the UK and Europe I am going to London and Italy. We are going in a few months but I am eagerly planning everything already. Has anyone got any suggestions??? I would love to hear your comments about your favorite places!!

Designer of the day: Kathryn M Ireland

I don't know if its just because its the beginning of winter here in Melbourne but I'm really loving colour today.  As some of you may know I am normally a neutral girl and usually stay away from to much colour, but I admire people who know how to use it well. A perfect example is of Kathryn's work. She is a fabulous Interior Designer and her portfolio is amazing, she even has her own fabric collection as well. Oh and a blog that I am eager to check out!

SJP's Hampton Home...

How dreamy is Sarah Jessica Parker's Hampton home!? I would love to spend many weekends here (Or weeks :)
