Morocco

Ah, Morocco - you say! Actually no, it's the third level of Harrods. Incredible!! And the installation is only until 18 December - shame it isn't staying that way indefinitely. It looks lovely.

Decorations

I found these lovely Martha Stewart Pom Poms on Amazon and ordered them for the wedding. I think they will look magical dotted in the trees as you walk down the aisle.

Wedding invitations

I decided to design and make my own wedding invitations which are in-keeping with the rustic-garden theme of the day. I finally finished them (with help from my fiancee) after many stressful hours at the printer. I used a little piece of twine to keep all of the cards together and made RSVP postcards using different images I found in our colour scheme.  I think they look great and I can't wait to send them out!

Farrow & Ball

The new Farrow & Ball store in New York’s Upper East Side has been wrapped in the company’s Lotus wallpaper. It looks amazing!!! What a cool idea. My sister is off to New York next week, maybe I should get her to go and check it our for my sake :D

FINISHED!!!

I am offiically finished my diploma in Interior Design! I got my last mark in the post this week. I am so happy to have done it, and I hope it is just the start of much more Interior Design to come!

I am now barrelling full speed ahead with the main bedroom re-vamp at my house and have nearly finished stripping the room. I have been looking at grey paint colours and am yet to decide on which one is the best. So far I have tried these two Dulux colours, and I think one is too blue and the other is too light, so maybe something in the middle would be perfect:

I have picked my drapes and rug and they are coming from the States, so should be here in a couple of weeks.

So I think it is fair to say this bank holiday weekend will be spent DIYing around the house. Wish my luck...

Espanola Way

Loving this bold ikat print by Designers Guild - especially in the charcoal, grey & chartreuse pictured here.

littlebrownpen.com

I came across this lovely photography company called littlebrownpen.com when I was scouring Etsy.com. They take photographs that "celebrate the city’s intimate details, often overshadowed by iconic landmarks".  I think they are beautiful. My favourite pictures are those taken as a part of the yellow collection:

Grey bedrooms

I have been so busy lately I've barely had any time to come and visit my poor neglected blog. Now that a lot of wedding plans are taking shape nicely I'm going to focus my attention back on the decorating the master bedroom before christmas. I also have three questions left on my last module and only until 18 October to do them! The pressure is on. I have found some pictures of lovely grey bedrooms for inspiration.

Brisbane Art Museum

Well, I'm home from Bali and I had a lovely time. It was such a culturally rich place and nice to be out of my comfort zone for a while. On the way home we stopped in Brisbane for the day and I had a chance to look around the Brisbane Art Museum. I found the minimalistic building as visually striking as the art work it houses. I took some pictures while I was there:

David Dalton's loft apartment

I'm off to Bali tomorrow, so no updates a for a couple of weeks - sorry! Before I go, I found these great pics on homelife.com.au of designer David Dalton's loft apartment. I am completely in awe of the dining room and it's framed view of the city below.
