NiBa Home

I was over checking out decorate it darling when I saw that Jawcey had featured NiBa Home but lamented that she couldn't share more photos because it was in flash. I loved it so much I had to snag a few shots to share. Thanks for showing me the way Jawcey! It's on amazing store!!

Kim and I don't do this much anymore but we were tagged by Erin from Design for Mankind to name 8 things we're grateful for.

Kim's 8 are:
1 - loving family and friends and my plethora of cats
2 - the best blog partner EVER
3 - supportive fellow bloggers
4 - Tim Hortons
5 - Starbucks latte
6 - Etsy
7 - "Eating for Life" by Bill Phillips
8 - skinny jeans and ballet flats

Mine are:
1 - my husband's health is returning after a long and very trying illness :)
2 - the best blog partner EVER
3 - good friends
4 - that first cup of tea at 5.00am
5 - that my local thrift store hates everything I like so it's always dirt cheap
6 - freedom of choice
7 - a good black pen and an empty page to draw on
8 - Irish whiskey after a hard day

The blog is doing so well at the moment thanks to all of you out there and that's number 9 - you.

Megan Morton, dti and design*sponge

It promises to be a hectic week as guest bloggers on design*sponge. Already we have our first couple of posts up and I'd thought I'd give an encore performance of our post on Megan Morton, Australian stylist extraordinaire. Regular dti readers will know Megan's work. She's generously shared photos with us before. Take a look at some of the amazing new images she sent from her latest forays overseas to photograph fabulous houses in the UK and Sweden. Too many for just one post on design*sponge! I just had to share some more.

PS Don't miss the our post on Australian interior designer Brian Hoy either and so many luscious posts still to come!

Paper Voyeur

Emma from Paper Voyeur emailed about their line of wallpaper. So gorgeous! I am so going to wallpaper something (ANYTHING) in my next house. These are now some of my favourite floral patterns. Subtle pattern in stunning colours. Romantic and feminine. Available online through their website.

"The romantic home isn't dead it's just been painted white and boxed in with steamed beech but you can renovate your sensual self with a roll or two of this most exquisite wall covering then lay back and enjoy your handy work, or that of another. Either way there is a corner of our Swedish minimal homes that will be forever decorative, forever sensual and forever fluid. So snuff out that candle and go build your boudoir, for, as they say, build it and they will come..."
