Nannas birthday table

Hi Guys, just popping in quickly!

About to have my Nanna over for dinner for her birthday!

When i was 4 my dad passed away and my mum & i lived with my grandparents for a few years. She is very special to me - i love to spoil her! Thought id share a piccy or 2 of the table before she gets here!

The Cliff House - Kerala, India.

This house is SERIOUS wow! Located in a fishing village in Kerala, India.

Designed by Khosla Associates in Bangalore India.
Im sure my friend Erika (hi ez!) who has just moved to Bangalore will like this! 

discovered this here via walking around where the sidewalk begins

A bit behind the times!

Ok ok so i know im about 2 years behind the times....

 But i finally ordered this on the weekend from here!

Cant NOT have this in my collection right!

Cannot WAIT till it arrives!

Have any of you guys got it?? Does it live up to the hype??

On Yer Bike!

The bike fetish continues....

(no thanks to my nightly tour de france watching) Allow me to chronicle the past month of my bike obsession....

Thanks to the Design Files for alerting me to this!

You can build your won 'vintage' bicycle & it is seriously well priced at around $560 including delivery!

Meanwhile im still watching this beauty on ebay

From Sydney Vintage Bikes

SO perfect for just going up to the shops & getting...you know...stuff!

After i just showed him the picture for the 18th time the other half just asked "so will it live in the garage with my bikes??" (Yes, with his 4 bikes!) and i said "no! in the living room!"...and he says you just want it to look at like a piece of art...um...yeah! so?!

And the latest in the chronicles of 'i want a vintage bike';

Sydney's Clarence Street Cyclery have just opened a womens only store & has some 'urban' bikes made by 'serious' bike maker Gary Fischer! Check em out - pretty special!

Gary Fischer Ladies Simple City 3 $899 (just needs a basket!)

And the mens (not so pretty) version 

Gary Fischer Simple City 8 $1299

last but not least.  Melbourne company The Humble Vintage Bike Co. where you can hire vintage bikes & do tours of the city! Cute idea!

I have a lamp 'thing'.

Loving this cream/pale blue colour scheme at the moment & heck just these whole rooms really!

Also have a bit of a 'thing' for lamps...like some people have a shoe 'thing' i have a lamp 'thing'.

So of course i am lusting after that yellow lamp!

I could satisfy my 'thing' here;

Sofia Table Lamp Eco Chic $510 (ok, i know not exactly cheap...)

BUT they are 20% off if you buy 2!

Friday night champagne & tipsy Etsy shopping ;)

So i went to a freinds house tonight to go through the house & bathroom plans i did for them (fun!). Being friday night we had a few champagnes (me) & wines (her) and a yum japanese dinner....

Then we got on etsy & had a small spree!

Woohoo :) you guessed what i bought right??

We both got one of these

quite apt because im always wanting to plan a trip & just go 'somewhere'!

And my mate Lucy also bought this 

(which im a bit find of too, being someone who hates to be inside!)

You can find them all here at The Wheatfield

I could honestly buy the whole shop - gorgeous colours & illustrations & quotes

Cannot wait for them to arrive!!!!

New blog obsession - Decor Demon!

So because its friday i thought id share with you what ill be doing for  the whole weekend for a few hours this weekend. Sitting down & reading the entire back catalogue of this am-aaaa-zing blog i have just discovered! I have to send a big thankyou to Kelly Green for finding it & say its refreshing to see another male blogger around! (Hi Will!)

Decor Demon

Décor Demon creator Brian Patrick Flynn is a television producer turned self-taught decorator/designer.  The moniker “Décor Demon” comes from Brian’s fast-paced weekend routine of furiously raiding garage sales and flea markets for one-of-a-kind pieces with which he creates edgy-meets-elegant spaces. Flynn’s TV production credits range from news at an NBC affiliate in South Florida to design and reality shows on Discovery Channel, HGTV, TBS and Fox. In addition to being an associate producer, Brian is also the set decorator and on-air design talent for the TBS series, Movie & a Makeover. So what the %$&* is Decor Demon? Lifestyle editorial…with an edge. Easily amused. 
Not so easily impressed. Our content is for the bold, the beautiful, and the bad ass. 

Here is a small sample - the bedroom of designer Betsy Burnhmas teenage daughter. um omg. do you think she'd adopt me??

Saved the best image for last - don't you agree!

is anyone feeling tight in the chest??

you know that so good i think im going to have a heart attack feeling??

(just told my other half this & he looked at me quite strangely but i know you guys know what i mean...right?)

oh ok heres a bit more...oh good lord!

Have a great weekend!
