Flavor Paper

I have expressed my adoration for wallpaper a few times on the blog, and recently found a company who sells some pretty funky patterns over at 2Modern. "Flavor Paper produces unique vintage and contemporary handscreened wallcoverings that will add a burst of flavor to any environment. Located in the Bywater District of New Orleans, their Flavor Lab uses only the highest quality water-based inks and grounds to create premium wallcoverings for retail, home and beyond. Flavor Paper’s distinctive designs and vibrant colors have caught the eye, and palette, of a number of taste aficionados. Rock stars, retailers, nightclubs, restaurants, and savvy homeowners have all added a little spice to their walls with Flavor PaperFlavor Paper." OH YA, I'm marking them in my favourites.

Weekend flashback

What a beautiful day it is here today! I love this time of year (early autumn in Australia). Perfect for a little retro al fresco inspiration. If only my outdoor area looked as good as these retrolicious beauties. Hard to believe they are almost 40 years old! Scanned from The Practical Encyclopedia of Good Decorating and Home Improvement, Vol 13, Meredith Corporation, New York, 1971. Hope your weekend is exactly what you're wishing for.

P.S. Where's WINKS? I hope you'll forgive me but I'm using my weekend time to work on the 4 mega reading guides for Easter. Dozens and dozens of blogs to explore! Back to work. I'm half way through list number 2.

Lesley Dilcock

Lesley Dilcock is a London based stylist who was an originating founder of UK's Marie Claire. She also has written a few books, including "Global Style" that I'd love to get my hands on. Here is a peek at some of her styling prowess.

Filip Dujardin

What is it about Belgian design at the moment? So cutting edge modern, so crisp and devoid of all things frou frou. Love it and also love it when I find a new Belgian photographer. Ghent based Filip Dujardin understands architecture. His photos capture these spaces brilliantly. Composition and angles here are spot on, highlighting the excitement of the otherwise stark interiors. Great work.

Old world loft

I am in a rush to get a post done so I can crash on my sofa after a crazy week and a half. I zipped over to Inspace Locations and found this lofty home - it instantly made me relax. Such an old world feel with exposed brick walls, and rough and rustic hardwood floors (OMG I would give anything for floors like that). Every inch of this this loft I swear was plucked from my dreams.
