I have been drowning under an
avalanche of work lately,
with projects both in planning and construction,
with not a second to focus on anything else.
So many beautiful projects!
While hunting for new fabrics for one of these
lovely homes, I have just discovered
the latest issue of Adore Home.
{Yes, I know it came out last week...oops!}
I am completely smitten with the bright colours
of Bluebellgray, the Scottish fabric firm
headed up by textile designer Fiona Douglas,
whose own home is in the magazine.
These gorgeous fabrics have a
hand painted look to them.
Such vibrancy!
And there is also a delightful article on
some of Melbourne's hidden design treasures.
The girls know us well because the
opening paragraph mentions our
obsession with coffee!
So true!
{I often wonder if the main reason
I moved to Melbourne was to indulge my
coffee obsession...}
The freshly refurbished Stokehouse
restaurant gets a mention...
...as does stylist Lucy Fenton's glorious
treasure of homewear delights: Fenton & Fenton.
Also love the bright fresh colour hits
in the Sydney home of interior designer Vivian Mansour.
Now, enough of that and back to work!
But I might just start sketching poppies
into my elevations....
