My Space | Emma of A Quiet Style
For this side of the world, today’s My Space is more than appropriate. We’re three days into spring and suddenly we are itching to get outside and make our very own space in the garden. It’s a pleasure to introduce my guest today, Emma who authors the lifestyle blog, A Quiet Style which is filled with interior inspiration, fashion, handmade and life with her two beautiful girls. Emma has such a lovely online presence and also a big passion for flowers, which is reflected in her stunning Instagram feed. Enjoy taking a little peek into her courtyard today and do make sure you pop over to her blog to say hi if you haven’t already.
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.
The Fruit Shop Ceramics by Hsian Jung
This caught my eye and I just had to share it with you for the artistic sense today and perhaps for you to bookmark as an online shop is coming soon.
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.

On The Wall | Doris of Diary of an Interior Novice
Doris purchased her London apartment a few years ago and threw herself into making it into a family home. It was during that time that a shift happened in her life and she realised how much she enjoyed the process, so she enrolled herself in an Interior Design course. Her blog, Diary of an Interior Novice is a document of all of her learning along with personal projects and interesting interviews with professionals who have also had career changes. It’s such a pleasure to welcome Doris today as she shares with us, what’s on her wall.

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.
Our Kitchen
Part of the brief for the Design*Sponge shoot, was that I was to supply a maximum of twenty photos. As you can imagine, I have quite a few unused photos hanging around, so I thought I might share some of the unseen kitchen shots with you today.
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.
