Sea Green & Turquoise

A little colour inspiration from Swedish textile company AnnaO

A beautiful palette combined with creative styling... DELISH!

Pretty Pattern

Some delicious designs to make your interior POP!

Lately, I've been harbouring a quiet obsession with pattern, particularly patterned fabric... this is something quite new for me... I'm more your 'co-ordinated plains' kind of girl.  But suddenly, I can't get enough of bold colour combinations and wild designs.  The lovely Anna Spiro from Absolutely Beautiful Things, does this look so well (of course!) and then there's Kellie from Ada & Darcy who sells some stunning cushions in her online shop.  Yep, there might just be room for some turquoise zebra print in my life after all!

Fabric Dreaming

Fabrics (L-R): Classic Ticking Natural, Astbury Chintz, Daishi Platinum - all from Unique Fabrics

I have been looking at these gorgeous fabrics on my inspiration board for weeks, imagining them made up into oversized cushions - I can't decide whether they'd look best on a cream sofa or a dark charcoal sofa... what do you think?  

I'm such a stripes girl... I'd quite like a feature chair upholstered in the Daishi fabric (far right ) for our living room - such a shame my husband's black Eames chair takes current pride of place (we have a 'creative conflict' over the Eames - I'm a big fan of it, just in someone else's home!).

Fabric Love

I have been waiting for the first day of Spring since the last day of Autumn and I'm so excited it has finally arrived!  In celebration of life being just that little bit more wonderful, here are some images of beautiful, fresh fabrics by Amy Butler Design - for me, they totally evoke the smell of freshly cut grass and the feel of the first warm breeze of Summer :)

The Amazing Carolyn Quartermaine

When I was living in London in 2003, I discovered the ethereal and colourful work of Carolyn Quartermaine  and have remained a fan ever since... she is an artist, designer and stylist who was HUGE back in the day but I still love her fabric collections... see what I mean!
