Kelley Proxmire

There's something crisp and tailored about Kelley Proxmire's work.
Bright colours punctuate a white background. A little classic, a lot classy. My vibe is mid century but the freshness of the blue and green and the juiciness of that raspberry, yum. And the tang of lemon? I can almost taste it.

HGTV looking for unique ways to get cozy

I received an email this afternoon from Michelle Phillips who asked if we would post this notice. So here ya go.

Sirens Media is currently researching a program for HGTV. The show will feature a variety of homes across America that incorporate interesting elements that promote relaxation. A unique pillow room? A stream of water that trickles throughout the bedrooms? You've heard of art for art's sake right? Well we're interested in comfort for comfort's sake. Please send pictures and information to Michelle.

I've been looking for an excuse to post this photo - perhaps this is NOT something Michelle is looking for. This isn't relaxing - this is a nightmare.

Nate Berkus

In honour of Apartment Therapy's Maxwell and family's appearance on Oprah today (which I just finished watching - it was awesome!), I thought it was a good time to publish this post.

We all know Nate Berkus - Oprah's designer buddy. He is a cutie-patootie and turns out he has some pretty amazing photos of his work on his website. Here are some of my favourites.

Tulip chair

White on White

Tulip chairs are so iconic and adorable. I always wanted a tulip chair and recently bought 2 knock-offs at a local retro antique store for my bedroom. So I thought I would do a post on tulip chairs because I am just so damn proud of myself for owning some of my own!

Florence Broadhurst

We've seen her designs in every influential interior design magazine. Her patterns grace fabric, wallpaper, accessories and now fill the pages of a stunning new book. Florence Broadhurst is a design icon not just in her home country of Australia but deservedly worldwide. Hers was a colourful career from outback Queensland via cabaret singing in Shanghai to couturier in London and back to Australia, where from the mid fifties until her unsolved murder in 1977 at the age of 78, Florence created a body of work that leaves us gasping today. Her astounding designs are now again in production through Signature Prints .
