Feng Shui for a harmonious home Part 1
A couple of years ago, I read about this guy who in the space of a week or so won a couple of thousand dollars and then a house after sticking a dollar coin on his doorstep. I have to admit that within the hour, I got the super glue out and stuck a dollar on my doorstep. I think I drove my friends crazy for a while as they reached down to pick the dollar up when they entered my home. What this lucky man did was practice the ancient art of Feng Shui.
Hang it!
I’ve got coat racks on the mind. I’ve wanted to buy one for years but have always avoided it in fear of it becoming this huge dumping place for anything and everything. I wonder if this rings true for any of you? Well I finally did it, and purchased some Muuto Dots while in Sydney. Sadly they still haven’t gone up – I’m guessing that’s why they’re still on my mind!
A Confession and a Challenge
The other night my husband, Guillaume and I were enjoying most probably the last beef bourguignon for the season (it’s the beginning of Springtime here). Luck had it that it turned out okay because it was literally thrown together as I juggled my thirteen month old pulling at my leg and my almost three year old having a tantrum in the other room, all the while I was keeping an eye on the time to leave and pick my five year old up from school.
Hello Milky, Nice To See You
Yesterday I was having a little look around in the handmade section of Etsy and stumbled upon Jess from Hello Milky. Jess and I go back a couple of years; she doesn’t actually know me, but a friend of mine gave my two boys a handmade cuddly cloud by Jess about two years ago. They still cuddle them today and the clouds look adorable on their beds.
Smallspaces – Redfern, Sydney
On my recent visit home to Sydney, I was strolling through my old neighbourhood of East Redfern and discovered a lovely little store with a name to fit, Smallspaces.
Bringing the outdoors in…
When we moved from Sydney to Auckland, we had to give all of our plants away and I can’t believe that a year later, we still haven’t anything green inside!

A bit of craziness around me today as I just got back from my trip to Sydney this weekend, my husband, Europe just a few hours ago, and we’re celebrating my eldest boy’s 5th birthday today!
Creative Workspace – Dan Gosling
Dan Gosling, a major player and influencer in the fashion world, also has a passion for architecture and designer vintage sofas. So I dropped in to have a chat with him in the space behind Black Box Boutique, before I left for my trip to Sydney.
