Stalking across the ditch
The addiction is spreading. Stalkers are popping up everywhere around the world. Ann from New Zealand emailed with today's house is in Kingsland, an inner city suburb of Auckland. The 1910 wooden cottage is bursting with personality and urban style. Ann says she could happily gaze at all its loveliness but she is particularly smitten with the pressed metal cupboard in the kitchen. The caviar artwork tickles my fancy too. I remember seeing this one in a magazine. Can anyone remember which one? Link here while it lasts.
Acapulco chair
I love chairs, and all kinds - plush, wooden, canvas, leather, plastic, whatever floats my boat. Aside from some random vintage chairs and my Green Light District leather beaut, I currently have a couple of white Pantons, a faux Tolix from Homesense, and a few Eames (yellow shell, black leather shell and a kelly green upholstered armchair on wheels). I would love to add an Acapulco chair to the mix. Whether indoors or outdoors, this classic Mexican chair works anywhere, indoors or out on the deck. I thought it was about time I did a feature on this lovely chair.
Justine Hugh-Jones encore
I feel like diving into these images. Hold my breath, dive through my computer screen and surface refreshed in rooms that hum with vibrancy and personality. Sometimes just a glimpse of something inspiring and beautiful clears my mind and stirs my design soul. Like interior designer Justine Hugh-Jones' new website. Scroll and drink deep, scroll and drink deep. Tumble turn and do it all over again.
