Iosis cushions are a firm favourite of mine and these new prints are screaming PEEP. They are reminiscent of my favourite floor tile pattern and are totally giving Pierre Hardy

Also popping up in my inbox this week were these delicious Shibori wallpapers below, renters need not go any further for FOMO

0 velvet cushies

Piles and piles of coloured velvet is floating my boat! These two images are from Rebecca Judd's instagram and show off the look to perfection

and then I saw this sofa (below) packed to the brim via Prue Ruscoe's interior photography. I am feeling this look for winter and will start to build up my own little jewel tone box of cushions for my lounge. Freedom has a pretty good range, just switch out the inserts for lovely down duck

5 a nice surprise

is anyone watching the block? i have seen snippets here and there and after reading this months real living i was super surprised to see this bedroom was one of the rooms dan and dani produced on the show. i love that deep blue wall, the abstract artwork from fenton and fenton and that jewelled cushion and bed linen - all from fenton and fenton which set them back a huge $3000, spending big on bed linen really made the world of difference - i am obsessing over rough linen at the moment but it is very costly. that little pendant light is 'the beat light' from tom dixon, who i blogged about a few days ago. this room has got me sucked in, i just might tune in again!

3 kelly bensimon/those cushions

pic: the huffington post

firstly, sorry for the low res pic above, i tried to find better to no avail! did anyone else see these cushions in the home of real housewife of new york kelly killoren bensimon on fashion hunters? i am ALL for repurposing an hermes scarf, but do you think they would get ruined being lay on all the time? regardless, i love them and have a huge hermes scarf that has been laying in a box unused for years which i would love to get some use out of. any suggestions for what fabric to back it with?


in my search for some better images of her place i came across this one below - a horse in the living room and a hot pink couch? this is my kind of girl

J thinks our bed is like cribs now and finds it annoying to make, but i catch him karate chopping the pillows ALL the time so he can't hate it that much...

2 morrissey

i was recently directed to watch this cute video of chloe sevigny walking us through her closet (there has since been another) which made me remember how obsessed i was with a cushion i saw on her lounge in her grenwich village apartment a few years ago (pictured). after a bit of investigating i discovered it was called the 'morrissey viva hate throw pillow' by claudia brown, she only made one as an homage to her favourite musician (all hand embroidered) and chloe has it. she has since begun producing them, albeit a silk screened version and not in the vibrant blue colour, but if you are interested you can order them here. i LOVE chloe's apartment, especially that fabric her lounge is upholstered in. in the original H&G 2007 article she talked about wanting to recreate that 'beaten down WASP late 60's look' and she did it so well! i wonder what her place is like now? and where that cushion is...

1 in the bedroom

i am in the mood for some new cushions. i want fresh white linen with four big fat natural linen cushions on the bed. i want them to be karate chop-able and all squishy. i want the bed to be a place you want to dive into and be all fresh. i just wish we weren't renting and could do something about the hideous blush carpet that has seen better days! it makes me want to make less effort because it will never look exactly how i want it (floor boards obv.) i don't even think a rug will make it better, unless it's really big and covers the whole floor! actually, maybe i should look into that. and then there's the issue of the bed head. it's definitely on my 'to buy' list for the new year. here is some inspiration..

i am especially enamoured with elin kling's bed head (bottom left) - the mix of the mushroom bed head with the white linen and gold lamps, heaven!
