Guillaume bought me this great book the other day on 150 years of furniture design. It’s such an interesting read to see the evolution over the years in one hit. The book inspired me to capture some of my favourites from the decades. Today I’m starting with the 1920’s and typical to the era, it’s not surprising that all of my choices have some form of polished metal in its frame. You can see the full round up at the end.
For week three of my giveaways, I’m giving one lucky reader anywhere in the world a chance to win a gorgeous Print By George photography print of their choice.
I was introduced to Georgie by Sian of Est. Magazine earlier in the year after she did a feature on her. I first saw the print of Bondi Icebergs (below) on Instagram, which I raved about. Sian then told me that Georgie had just relocated to the west coast of the New Zealand’s South Island from the UK to be with her Kiwi beau and she put us in touch. A couple of weeks later, Georgie and I were catching up over coffee in Auckland and we hit it off immediately. This Instagram world is fantastic for connecting with people!
If somebody is visiting Auckland and they’re here longer than a couple of days, I always tell them that a must see place is Waiheke Island. It’s officially Auckland, but it feels like a million miles away and yet only takes forty minutes to catch a ferry to from the city. It also has its own microclimate and quite often when it’s bucketing down on the mainland, the sun is shining and the water is sparkling blue on Waiheke. Well that didn’t exactly happen for us this time unfortunately but more of that later.
I love online shopping. I’m not sure if it’s because I spend so much time online and it’s a natural extension from that, but it’s something that I’ve been hooked on from the beginning. I guess it also really started to take off at a very convenient time for me, when I started having children and I didn’t have that freedom to go out and hit the shops. A couple of weeks ago, I got the news that Indie Home Collective was about to open their online store so I waited in anticipation because I knew that the owner, Claudia Kozab would do a mighty fine job with it. She didn’t disappoint.
I’m so excited to bring you this week’s giveaway. It’s something that I enjoy everyday in my home, and would love for one of you lovely people to also, a Jo Malone Candle.
