Love. Want. Need.

I've noticed Chanel and Hermes logo trays in many interior shoots and have become quite enamoured with them. Whilst trays in general keep all manner of stuff contained, these elevate the contents somewhat!


Not too sure of authenticity....some I've found for sale online are claimed to be 'ex-promotional' whilst others are of ambiguous origins. One things for sure though, they're exy either way! Here's one currently for sale on eBay Australia.

Round Mirrors

Is it just me, or do you sometimes get 'fixated' with one thing and breathe, dream and look for it obsessively? Eeeek...hope I'm not over-sharing!
Well, I'm currently enamoured with round mirrors.
And not just any ol' circular version, but one with a whopping strap suspending it off the wall!


I have had a soft spot for mirrors these shapes before, and used them in our previous house in the main bathroom and the guest room, as seen below.


In the last house, I had a recurring round theme to reference the pool shape which I posted about HERE previously. In this current project though, there are more linear horizontal lines and I think a few, strategically placed round shapes will add a bit of visual movement.

The mirror I'm obsessing about now was a popular mid-century decorative piece designed by Jacques Adnet for Hermes. The simple round mirror is wrapped in leather and hangs from a leather strap secured by three metal belt buckles, imitating the sleek look of equestrian hardware.







*sigh*

I know an authentic piece will be unattainable but I hope I can to 're-create' the look. Perhaps in the entry foyer?
Sort of like this arrangement.


Thoughts? 
Do you have anything specific you're focused on?

Colour crush: 'Hermes' Orange


 I'm still in love with my black and white decorating scheme but I find I'm being drawn to colour lately too. Rather than bold swathes of it, I'm attracted to small highlights here and there in accessories and small objects. This week's favourite is what I'd call
'Hermes' Orange.







 I bought two of these orange and black lacquer boxes (the medium and large size seen below and which are also featured in the first picture on this post), intending them to pick up the orange hue in my David Bromley Butterfly throw. 



When I pulled the throw out of storage to compare the colours I got a rude shock! I'd forgotten I'd swapped the throw above for the more muted one below! Bugger! 
(I blogged about them Here, here and here)



And I also swapped my initial purchase of 'The Boys In Boat' (above) to the flower one below which features yellow, not orange. Double damn! Don't you hate wrong decisions!?


 Anyhoo, back into storage they've all gone. I'm going to spend some time making an inventory of what I've already purchased for the finished house to prevent 'oop's' like this one!
Maybe the  'Hermes' orange boxes will be a minor feature in the study!
What do you think? Would you use this colour?

Love a lazy sunday!


Wasted a few hours of rare sunshine here yesterday whilst catching up on some favourite mags with a cup of tea in bed. After posting my Luxe list # 1, I couldn't believe the number of images of the same blanket featured in several articles in Belle.




I've obviously in good company with my love of this beauty!

My Luxe Lust List....# 1 Hermes Blankets

Do you, like me, have champagne taste on a beer budget?
I thought I'd start a regular Luxe Lust List to record some serious wish-list items. More for me than you really but I hope you'll enjoy it too!

# 1. Hermes Blankets

Serenity


How simple and stunning is this bedroom? I love the generosity of scale and sense of serenity. This room is one of six within a penthouse designed by Selldorf Architects. I stumbled upon the image via Cococozy, one of my favourite blogs. I wonder whether the furnishings in the room would look as spectacular without those tall windows and with a more modest ceiling height? 

Different homes and different designers but I think the images below share a common aesthetic.

Maybe I'm just dreaming of a serene, white Christmas?
(...and a Hermes throw he he!)

A new favourite blog!

 I thought I'd share with you a blog (or three) I discovered recently and have had enormous enjoyment from, both in viewing new, and past postings. Designed by Interior designer, Stylist and single mum of five boys, Erica Cook.  From her own beautiful home to carefully curated pictures; this blog is a visual delight and Ms Moth has got style aplenty to share! Don't take my word for it though; check it out HERE.



A taste of Ms Moth's gorgeous bedroom!

Her lounge room is a work in progress. Do you spot the Hermes throw? Drool!

One of master Moth's bedrooms. Styling for boys? No problem for this talented Mum!

This is the photo that attracted me to Moth Design. Perfection and very, very clever.

Ms Moth even makes loo paper storage artful!

Erica's inspirational pictures are always gorgeous!

 And.... if that's not enough, this talented dynamo has two other blogs of equal merit.

A lovely picture from Little Moth
