Interior Design
"Eminent interior design is the fusion of creativity and an indefinable intuitive ability to see what others cannot."

I've found a great site for lighting... not sure of the pricing but it's good eye candy Emac-Lawton
The find was thanks to Decoration Design Blog.

Stylish Eve keeps on providing lots of inspiration and today's post doesn't fail. Here's a great link to styling  Cozy Lounge Rooms.

I clicked and clicked and click and somehow came across a link on Useful Ideas and Layouts to Create a Photo Gallery Wall .

16.04.13 Zanui
Here's another treasure for furnishing the new house http://www.zanui.com.au/

I've been looking for a while for an appropriate course to help develop my styling skills. Tonight Interiors Addict announced Abigail Ahern and her florist sister in Australia for 2 days only in July http://abigailahern.com/collections/design-school/products/australia-design-school-decorating-outside-the-lines or alternatively I came across an online course with the institute of home staging  http://www.instituteofhomestaging.com.au/portfolio-view/course-1/ . The benefits of attending Abigail's workshop is it incorporates floristy as well (hmmm AU$450). Or I could buy the book??



Here's another great find, if I can't find the perfect chair I can get a customed made one right here at My Bespoke Chair



14.04.13 Blank Canvas with Shaynna
Lots of great ideas tonight with Shaynna. How fabulous would it be to have her come to our colours appointment to assist with choices. While the chances of that happening are minimal... I can refer to the Supplier List provided for Ep1.

Some suppliers from the show that I liked include: Designer Rugs. I found this rug on their site

 Istanbul (Azure)

Freedom Furniture advertising is all over the LifeStyle Channel website. So a few clicks later I've come across a few helpful hints Styling Tips 101

Painting
Next stop is the Taubmans website, if the house was built I could upload a picture of the room and play with the colours... so for now I can play with colour palettes http://www.taubmans.com.au/Colours/Paint-Your-Own-Room and inspiration from the Taubmans Facebook page.

There could be some damage done here at Matt Blatt for replica furniture. I also found Nanna's coffee table, I wonder if Nanna's is an original. Needless to say, it's come back in fashion in time for the new house.



With the change of season, comes new catalogues... Here is the Winter Launch 2013 and I absolutely love the Regal Horse Head Lamp, I wonder if I can get approval to part with $399? It would certainly be a talking piece.



18.03.13 The Pottery Barn is coming to Australia!!! Only a few more weeks until they open their doors (May 2013).

Rugs

For the not so old Sofa
We have a sofa that could be used in the Family area of the house, however the material might not suit the new house. I've considered having it covered, which the Pottery Barn can do. 



Bedroom 2
As soon as I discovered this picture on Instagram via mumlittle, I instantly fell in love with the Laura Ashley wallpaper.

Lounge
The main feature of my lounge room will be my gorgeous drawings of Audrey Hepburn gifted to me by my equally gorgeous friend.





I've always wanted a wingchair for 'my room'. Looks like Coco Republic may be able to make that dream a reality (for a small fortune).











Sofas


Kitchen/Meals/Living




Of course timber floor boards feature again ... floor boards or tiles??



Inspo

13.03.13 A big thanks goes to my work colleague for directing me to Simplify.
The before and after shots of Camille's house are inspiring and yet again floor boards feature amongst the house, maple engineered hardwood from Build Direct to be exact.




For more inspiring pictures go to Flickr

Whilst Googling blinds I came across Country-days. The Wallpaper and paint colours are divine.


And I can't forget The Hampton Style at Wagga
