Astrid armchair from Freedom

I have my eye on this beautiful chair from Freedom Furniture in "Dexter Ketchup" for the spare bedroom - would look great the Union Jack cushions I already bought. It is only $299!!

Furnicular

I went to the new cafe Furnicular (above the Body Shop on Lambton Quay) yesterday for lunch. It has quite a cool decor - I love the use of red string lights. The yellow booth that wraps around the room reminds me of the couch featured in the heading of my blog - on a grander scale!  There is so little choice around Lambton Quay to eat and this little gem is tucked away where you can watch the world wander by.

The Zetter Townhouse - Boutique Hotel in London

Thanks again to Remodelista City Guides I came across a great hotel to stay in while passing through London next week. I needed somewhere near Euston station and found The Zetter Townhouse in Clerkenwell. It is eccentric and unique and in my opinion, very British. You will definitely find me sipping a cocktail in the cocktail lounge.

Clock Tower

While looking for something completely unrelated, I came across this penthouse apartment which has come up for sale in Brooklyn, NY. The clock makes such a unique wall feature in the stunning contemporary apartment. I love how it gives glimpses of the amazing surrounding view. Would love to live there, shame it is on the market for $25 million!
