Chalkboard Table via Design Sponge








Love this idea on Design Sponge's before & after series using chalkboard paint to spruce up a boring old table.

This is a great solution, if you got sick of it you could always paint it in a straight black lacquer, or any other colour for that matter.

Paper Bag Princess for W Magazine

Fashion mags are often not on my inspiration radar - but this shoot for W Magazine did catch my eye. I love the hair and make up, dark and luxe.

Statement Chairs

I received an email earlier this week announcing that the Missoni Kartell chair [left] was in stock at Space Furniture.

Searching for a larger image than was in the email led me to this site where I discovered the sister chair, Mademoiselle Missoni, which is a little more my style.

They also have a range of personalised Louis Ghost chairs with images of a child, a chinese woman, bear or mask [pictured] to choose from.

I've been having Tea with Mary

I recently set up a small business specialising in custom stationery and collateral design for special events such as weddings, births, engagements and celebrations. Please check out the site here.  I've also spent most of my time updating the blog over there, which I was able to import from here with the magic of Squarespace [completely brilliant!].


So, below is a list of the posts that I've done over at Tea with Mary since my last post here. 











I hope to see you over at Tea with Mary and please don't hesitate to get in contact if I can help with event design and stationery.

Fridays tend to be the day when I find [and add to reader] the most lovely new blogs. This mornings discoveries came via Frolic who's featuring the most gorgeous peonys here in the Flower of the week [pictrued above].

Exploring The Finders Keepers

I've just discovered The Finders Keepers a lovely site promoting independent designers via bi-annual art and & design markets held in Sydney. Their blog is full of lovely finds and is currently featuring the gorgeous work of Holly Chalmers. Check out the gallery for a taste of what to expect from the next market being held 15-16 May @ the Carriageworks in Sydney's Inner West.

I'm also following them on Twitter http://twitter.com/keepfinding ;)
