zipp

Today I have re-visited every one of my own blog posts in a fruitless search for an image of our kitchen, pre-plastering. I was hoping for a visual reminder of the exact location of a big ceiling beam before drilling holes in the ceiling for downlights! This time wasting experience has provided me with three revelations:

1. When building, take some snaps pre-plaster for later reference if required.
2. Preferably store pics somewhere you can find them. (Having experienced this dilema before) LOL
3. I realy enjoyed re-visiting my own inspiration past posts. (eeek!) To me, they illustrate how my design direction has morphed and somewhat matured. They also help me identify 'my' aesthetic through repetition whilst highlighting when I am temporarily 'swayed' by a fad / trend. Interesting. (To me. Ba ha ha)

Sooo...having found zipp in regards to the hidden beam, here's a fave design project that's been around the traps for awhile but one I'd like to include here for my own aforementioned benefit!

ZIPP Shelter














Interested in more?
A terrific synopsis of this building and the concept behind it can be found HERE.

Procrastinating...


Instead of continuing with my spring cleaning this morning, I wasted spent time drooling over the details in this house. I can blame Virginia over at Glamour Drops for initiating my fixation but when I started peeping at more of this house and others in the portfolio of Molecule, the housework was totally forgotten.


A clever mix of both contemporary and classic styles, perfectly executed.
 It has divine Chevron flooring...


....and the pure white colour scheme allows the eclectic mix of design classics (from antiques through to modern icons) to have centre stage.









I absolutely love the featured marble and the detailing. The pictures shown here are styled to perfection!


And I am really impressed that the house appears to be practical and functional too...
and WOW there are my favourite Bocci lights! *sigh*



It's currently for sale and is a finalist in the 2012 Melbourne Design Awards
 What's not to love?

Adoring ADORE!

This post may be a little belated but I needed to gush a tincy bit about the latest issue of Adore Home Magazine. If you haven't seen it then hop to it! You will definitely not be disappointed!



 The front cover blew me away and there was so much more inside.
Both the cover shot and the image above are from the showroom of PAD, an acronym for Passionate About Design.
This shop is positively calling my name!


 I found book recommendations to follow up, new blogs to peruse and favourite designer's images for inspiration! Aaah...Greg Natale!


Of course it's no surprise that the feature about this eclectic home would pique my interest!




Particularly when it featured my fave wallpaper Imperfection by Jimmie Martin, and a David Bromley nude!
Black + White + a splash of colour! LOVE IT!!!


Everyone will love something different in this edition...
What were your favourites?

I'm going back for a fourth look!

I like this.... And I like this too!!!!



What the hell is going on!?

L.O.V.E. each of these....equally.

But am totally being drawn towards....(back towards?) a modern interpretation of the 'country', 'hamptons', 'australian' beach house.
 Maybe for the next project?
