1 op shopping

This glass and lucite side table was hard to walk away from, thinking back on it, I wish I bloody got it! This pair of green velvet chairs would look amazing with a teal or pink makeover 

I am always going to be attracted to a vintage chair, add in some rose velvet and I'm sold. Had these sweet little shelves been bigger I would have snapped them up...

Had a bloody productive week last week! Scouted locations for upcoming Adore shoots (Lucy's mood wall is coming your way) and shot my place with Hannah along with a few other creative spaces

Preparing the props...Rachel Castle, The Minimalist, Country Road, Hyphenate, IKEA, FIG and more delights

I created a really colourful office space from scratch (below) with my thrifted DIY chair

preparing my lounge room for the perfect shot...

a sad face for taking the mood wall down :(

but a happy face for a fresh hang! My France, not France poster has a home - thank you David Rager!

thank you bec and damien (and evie) for my b'day pressie - love her!

we went for family dinner at my little brother's best friend mike's families house. i snooped in his little brother jack's room (i love teen boys stuff) and wasn't disappointed. huge orange speakers, skateboards, skulls and more!

jack is a 19 year old science student and he had finished the subjects on molecules so he gave me one of his kits (YAY!) and even made me a cyclohexanoic acid structure

russell the boid and jack's shadow giving him a kiss!

flaming pudding for dessert

my first ever gift from the society inc. thank you kate, i love it! (the way packaging should be)

and finally this sweet display shelf was at vinnies - i was sorely tempted (a black makeover?) but i didn't succumb, i have to be very sparing with what i buy at the moment due to lack of storage
