Pottina & Pottone Self Watering Planters
A self-watering planter is nothing short of brilliance. This is coming from somebody who adores plants, and I’m always intending to water them, but just forget to. As I write this, I’m looking to the corner of my living room where a bunch of flowers are in desperate need of a top up.
Dreaming of a Ligne Roset Togo
Can I dream a little this Monday? I love my sofa, I really do, and it serves us very well. It’s comfortable, stuffed with down feather, it’s modular and has seen many configurations in our four homes in four years… but sometimes I feel like something a little timeless, that I wouldn’t feel out of place sipping a martini on, and is a true testament to design. If I could make one Sofa wish, with no budget constraints it would be the Togo by Ligne Roset and come to think of it, I’d do the mismatched look just like they do in this image. It’s elegance at it’s best.
Kuzana Ogg Flash Sale 50% off collectable artworks
I love a house full of artwork. For me a mix of different styles make for an interesting home. It could be a wall collage or a statement piece above the lounge, walls are there to be decorated I say! While I love including a mix of mediums, to me nothing beats an original painting, there’s something so noble about it and it will always be there to keep, pass on to others or even sell.

Bringing home The Chime
Did you once own a wind chime? Mine was made out of half a coconut with seashells hanging from it. I bought it during my very first holiday away with friends (no parents in sight) to Byron Bay on the far north New South Wales coast.
Citta Design, A Midsummer Daydream
Last week I would have done anything to be soaking up the balmy weather of south East Asia, rather than the freezing Auckland temperatures, so escaping to the media launch of Citta Design’s summer collection, A Midsummer Daydream held at Café Hanoi for one morning, was what I’d call a very pleasant micro break from the wet cold day outside.
Dinosaur Designs
If there is one Australian design company that has incredible staying power, then the crown should go to Dinosaur Designs. Not only are they still around after almost thirty years in business, they have remained true to their brand and are even more relevant today then they were when I first fell in love with their work.
Dialog Collaboration by Backhouse
We love a good collaboration. It’s the word of the moment and for good reason. Two creative heads are better than one, but it’s actually seven are better on this occasion. A couple of years ago, Backhouse Interiors and Designworks had a conversation with five prominent New Zealand lighting and furniture designers, which resulted in the launch of “Dialog” last Friday.
I’m Two and I’m Celebrating with Two {Great.ly} Giveaways
