Last May I showed you the gorgeous design classic, "The Tolix Chair" designed by Xavier Pauchard. Today I wanted to share with you the Tolix stool. I am so in love with the pretty pastel ones right now and love how they brighten up these spaces. Such a pretty design classic that has stood the test of time! The peppermint powder and white barstool are on sale from Cult Furniture right now!

Have a sweet day!

A New Year

A new year, a new beginning.  
It has been lovely to have a little bit of down time for a change after the craziness of 2011 - time to both reflect and reassess how to move forward in 2012.  My mind is spinning with all I would love to do in the coming year - how do I achieve or even attempt all I would like to - how do I keep the balance right and come out sane at the other end!  The question I am sure every parent who has a business or a passion for creative pursuits has. 

I do start the year however with a clear vision that I need to focus on the things that are important to me and things I enjoy to do.  I will ask for help if I need it and not worry if direction needs to change to suit the needs of my family and of course myself. 

So while I continue to work out how best I achieve my goals here are some pictures of a few little things I threw together for our annual New Year's Eve party at home.
A Cheese Stack
A Champagne Punch in that lovely new drinks dispenser
Great friends and thanks to a pretty special location that our house lives on, a birds eye view of the Sydney Harbour Fireworks (sorry forgot to take pictures of that as I was too busy admiring!)
Thanks also to Kim from the Tomkat Studio for her free printables - they worked perfectly with my black and white theme.

One last thing - don't forgot to pop over to my store for the new year sale that is happening - lots of great bargins to be found!

Silly girl talking

This morning Addison woke up with a new type of voice. She kept repeating so I quickly pulled out the handy iphone to catch some of it on video.



I think the best thing about it was she knew she was being funny ;)

Lisbeth Dahl

Today on label love I wanted to show you the gorgeous new treasures from one of my favourite interior brands, Lisbeth Dahl. The new Spring/Summer 2012 catalogue is full of so much eye candy, from the cute pastel coloured birdcages, to the perfectly pretty printed glass jars, to the array of beautiful patterned tea towels. There are, of course, the usual to-die-for cake stands in ornate glass and metal, and boudoir inspired glass perfume bottles.

Have a sweet day!

happy tuesday.

Living Pretty Modern

Living Pretty Modern

I love how my living room looks at this time of year, but as the 6th of January grows nearer I will have to put away all the Christmas sparkle and I have a feeling my lounge will have that certain lacklustre feel to it!

So, I thought I would kick start the year with my Living Pretty Modern mood board. I am loving the fresh colour palette of white, grey, lavender and duck egg blue. The array of prints, patterns and textures which make it look super stylish. Oh, and not forgetting all the glamourous highlights like the beaded chandelier, ornate mirrors and light-reflecting glass furniture. I feel a little living room re-style heading my way!
