Tiffany blue in the kitchen

After i posted this pic of my all time favorite kitchen a few weeks ago (which we all drooled over!) i have started to notice the appearance of 'Tiffany Blue' in kitchens more & more - I do have a bit of a soft spot for the old tiffany blue (& tiffany in general really).... i blame my grandmother for this! Actually one of the coolest things i got for my 21st (a while ago!) was a set of Tiffany poker cards from my godmother! Pretty cool huh! But ive never used them cause i dont want to ruin them! Anyway back to the kitchens!

My fav...sigh!

If i could be a kitchen - this would be me!

This ones a bit yummy too. How cool are the cabinets!

Lydia's Wardrobe - Before.

Last week i completed the design & joinery drawings for a new walk-in-wardrobe for Sydney fashion stylist & jewelry designer Lydia Saunders. You can see some of Lydia's styling work here http://www.lydiajanesaunders.com/ & her jewelry, which you can also buy online here http://www.lydiajewels.com/

Lets look at the before shots...

Lets just say the tenants who live in the apartment she has recently purchased don't exactly keep the wardrobe in a...um.. stylish state!

Part of the brief was to come up with good looking & practical storage for Lydia's extensive collection of handbags & clutch bags. Heres how they currently live.....

We wanted a solution where the bags would stand up & not fall over & also a better way to store & see all the clutch bags. Lydia also wanted lots of half & full hanging.

I couldn't resist giving you a peek at her shoe collection;

I have included a low pull out shoe shelf for her flats, but the heels however weren't part of the brief...Lydia has purchased a custom made shoe cabinet for these! Hell Yeah!

Stay tuned in a few weeks for the 'after' photos of Lydia's new custom wardrobe.

New chevron calling cards @ Made By Girl

Saw these goooorgeous new calling cards that Jen has in her shop at Made By Girl they only went up for sale yesterday! With my 'side work' increasing by the day i think i may just have to make a purchase :) I have always loved Jen's stuff & infact hers (along with apartment therapy) was one of the first blogs i ever discovered & inspired me to start my own! Plus you gotta admire a chick that has made such a successful business doing something she (& we) loves! aaahhh now i feel all inspired!
