Gorman Collaboration with Ellie Malin
I did a little clothes shopping at Gorman yesterday and spotted a very cool collaboration that the fashion label has done with Melbourne print media artist, Ellie Malin.
You’re probably wondering why I’m writing about fashion right? No, I’m not stepping into another domain here on the blog, Gorman has actually included some homewares in this collaboration. The range consists of a pack of three tea towels, a cushion and an adorable quilt. While the tea towels would look great in the kitchen they needn’t be destined for a life of drying the dishes, can’t you just imagine them in some simple frames on the wall?
Our Renovation, The Living Room
This is the second part to the renovating story of our Sydney apartment. You can catch the first part of our kitchen before and after here.
It’s amazing what ripping up the carpets, polishing the floorboards and painting the walls can do isn’t it? I’m a huge fan of classic white walls; it brightens a room and is the perfect canvas to add colour and texture with art, decorative pieces and furnishings.
Mérida Arquiste Created for Cire Trudon
While doing a little last minute birthday shopping for my husband a couple of weekend’s ago at World Store, I was introduced to a collaboration between world renowned candle maker, Cire Trudon and perfumer, Carlos Huber of Arquiste.
Moving on…

Hi everyone, I hope that you don’t mind, it’s a personal post today to share a little of my heartbreak with you. Yesterday I got the news that we need to move out of our house as it’s being sold. Yes, our little house, we haven’t been here long, but one that we’ve bonded so well with.
Jars Glorious Jars
Do you remember when I spoke about the need to get a little organised? Well I was forced to after horrible little pantry moths suddenly appeared everywhere. I tell you, I felt terrible to throw so much food away – never again! So I took my cue and finally bought loads of le parfait jars in different sizes and got organised.
Blogosphere Love – Picks for March
Welcome to April! Did you have a lovely Easter weekend? Over this side of the world, we’re lucky enough to have Easter Monday as a public holiday also so we get a long four-day weekend. Traditionally everyone goes away for the four days but we chose to hang out together at home and just enjoy each other’s company. Our family is also celebrating Guillaume’s birthday today so it’s a double celebration for us.
Domestic Bliss?
I’ve always been notoriously bad at keeping my windows clean. I could sit down at the kitchen table to have a cup of tea and stare through the dirty smudges out into the garden and remind myself each time that they need cleaning before I’d actually do something about it weeks later. When I moved into my house, the previous tenant left a bottle of Premium Glass Polish by Murchison Hume behind. It was a while before I picked it up; it looked so luxurious sitting in my cupboard. Finally I gave it a go and somehow cleaning the window didn’t seem like such a chore, it was quite pleasurable after all. Am I a victim of marketing? Perhaps, but at least my windows are now (usually) clean.
