First Look...(part two)

And now for the new Red Plum Linen bedding for boys...

Gorgeous navy!

I love navy for boys' rooms so I'm very excited to see Sura has added in a new navy lattice print fabric to her range.

Here's a first look at it...

 

New bedding for boys from Red Plum Linen

I think it looks so fresh teamed with these crisp white sheets. It's definitely a sophisticated and smart look for boys.

Sticking with navy theme I think our new Vintage Car print (just in this week) would look very smart in this room.

Or perhaps our new and white and navy Play, Laugh, Dream set of three canvases, which are coming soon and will be available early September.

First Look...

My good friend, Sura, at Red Plum Linen has kindly given me a sneak preview of her stunning new bedding fabrics and I'm very excited to be able to share these images with you over the next few days.

Here is the first collection featuring her new Vintage Rose and Candy Lattice fabrics.

 New bedding for girls from Red Plum Linen

Aren't they absolutely beautiful? And fresh? I love how Sura combines all her different fabrics together...like here how she has added the Sage Polka Dot sheets and Sage Lattice throw cushion to create a truly individual look. 

I think our Sarah Jane Danse Avec Moi prints would be a perfect addition to this setting.

We have these available now in two sizes: 8x10 inches and 11x14 inches. And in five different colour ways. Please email me if you are interested.

There's some gorgeous new fabrics for boys too. I promise to share these with you tomorrow.

The countdown to Summer...

Last night we booked our Summer holiday and so with Summer and holidays on my mind I thought I would share with you a couple of lovely things I have my eye on for the coming warmer months...

 Must-have beach bag for Summer 2010 available at Seed

Okay, here's the must-have beach bag for little girls this Summer. Isn't it delightful? I love the gelati theme and the chunky rope handles!

Must-have tee for Summer 2010 available at Seed

And the gorgeous matching tee. Can't wait to see what other sweet things are in store for us this Summer!

In love...

The recently unveiled new Black and Spiro shop and showroom.

On Wednesday night I had the absolute pleasure of attending the opening of Anna Spiro's new Black and Spiro shop and showroom in New Farm, Brisbane. Anna Spiro is an interior designer-extraordinaire and lover of all things colour (if you read the Peekaboo article I posted about a little while ago you may recall she did a stunning makeover in my home).

If you live in Brisbane or are in town visiting you simply must pop in to her new shop and soak up some of her unique style. I can honestly say I have never seen anything like it. It is truly amazing.

I'm drooling over quite a few of her new furniture pieces, including the white Stuart Membery Royal Palm chairs pictured above and the white round Tangier Table pictured below...

 Table love...

Art love...

My friend, Liz, fell in love with these paintings and lamps...

 Chest love

And finally, my dark love, the very sexy, gloss black chest of drawers tucked away in the corner...

I'm definitely feeling another makeover coming on...

Fun, holiday share-room

If I had another daughter and son and a fabulous beach house I'd love to re-create this nifty idea.

New darling dolls for you to create

 Sweetie Petites Sewing Kits new at Gelati Art

Aren't these softies simply adorable? My daughter and some of her friends spent a fun afternoon making these Sweetie Petite dolls at our place one school holdiays. My 7 year old sewing novices got a real kick out of making their very own doll to take home and tackled the activity with great gutso. I can highly recommend these gorogeous kits for a child's first sewing project. And why should girls have all the fun? Now there's even one for boys too...

 

 I think cheeky-faced Freddie would have to be my favourite!

Feeling Fresh Today

We're feeling a little fresh today after receiving a lovely blog-makeover by the very talented Katrina Chambers.

I hope you like our new look? I'm totally loving it and can totally recommend Katrina's services. She's one very talented and super-efficient lady.

Thanks Katrina! And thanks A-M over at Cape Cod Designs for the recommendation.

More lovely lilac...

I'm in love with this new art print from our new quirky and whimsical range.

Wouldn't it be a perfect finishing touch for the lovely lilac room I posted about earlier?
