Macrame Hanger Kit
The wannabe DIY’er in me has been eyeing off this Mima + Moo Macramé Kit for over a year until I finally bought it last month in my quest to bring more plants into our home. It was so simple to make with everything needed except the pot and plant and included clear instructions; perfect for someone like me that usually fails miserably with these kinds of things.
The Humble Basket
Ah beautiful, beautiful baskets, all of the different shapes, colours, textures and ethnicity are a perfect way to add interesting touches to a home. The uses are endless, from the practical to purely decorative. Here’s a selection of some that have caught my eye of late:
Thoughts on a Style Safari
Last Friday I was lucky enough to attend Home Magazine’s Style Safari, led by the warm and very charming editor of Home Magazine, Jeremy Hansen. If you didn’t catch my interview with Jeremy about the day, you can read it here.

Monday News, starting in the bedroom…
Hi friends! I have lots of news that I want to share with you so I’m dedicating an entire post to it today. I thought for the post image I’d take photo of a larger view of our bedroom so that you can see what I’ve done with the mirrors on the wall. What do you think? Just for the fun, I took a close up of my muddy Supergas, a reminder that we’ve just come out of winter and many a wet playground visits!

If there’s one girl out there to be named the darling of interiors right now, it would have to be Kara Rosenlund. Kara, who has been recently named by Elle Decoration UK as the “modern day Martha”, first came to the spotlight with Travelling Wares, a travelling vintage shop in a 1950’s adorably restored caravan named “Frankie”. Then there’s her blog; moments of her life captured with her husband Timothy O and their two bantam chickens, in their renovated 1880’s workers cottage. If you’re on Pinterest, you’d probably know it well. With a background in photography and more recently a stylist with a home full of the most interesting revolving collection of wares, this blog will have you dreaming.

Have you heard about Style Safari? It’s a great initiative by HOME Magazine to showcase some of the best of New Zealand and international design available in the country today. Everyone, from the decorating novice to those working in the industry would benefit from this event.

A Shiny New Burrow for Father Rabbit
Last night saw the official launch for Father Rabbit’s new store at Bloc, Mount Eden, a space dedicated to a collaboration of design focused brands. I have to admit that I got so caught up chatting to everyone and having a great time last night that I’m really glad I thought to pop in earlier in the day to take some photos of the new store for you.
