{Sunday Inspiration} + My Week in Review

 Photography by Mikkel Vang for Vogue Living Australia Magazine

This Sunday it's all about your basic black-and-white inspiration. There's something effortless and edgy about the space above. Even though there isn't much colour present, the space still looks very calming and inviting. The natural lighting is showcased beautifully while the hint of colour, wood furnishings, and personal accessories add a touch of heart and warmth. When I first gazed upon these images, I thought of someone named Paul: a serious writer who lives in black-and-white. Paul isn't afraid of colour. He's just a bit methodical on how he does it - a splash of it here and a dash of it there. His home is filled with personal things: a typewriter on the dining table, a trophy on the nightstand and inspirational photos hanging on the walls. What is your favourite thing about this space?

What I was up to this week:

A pendant lamp that allows you to display your favourite things.

The perfect D.I.Y. project for Father's Day ~ how to create a saw-blade clock.

Photography by Diane Tuft {my new favourite!}

Handmade crystal rock accessories by McCoy Designs.

Market finds from the ThomasPaul collection.

Inspirational Homes ~ An old factory turned into a Texas treasure.

Sunday {Spring Fabric} Inspiration + My Week in Review

Thilbaut Collection for Avalon

On this bright and beautiful Sunday, I leave you with some bold, fresh, playful -- and a splash of retro -- fabrics by Thibault. Their collection of printed and woven fabrics and wallpaper are the perfect compliments to a stunning "almost-Spring" day. (I keep forgetting that it's not quite Spring yet. We still have a few more days until the official beginning.) Whether you mix-and-match these fabrics and prints, or use them solo, these stylized florals and geometric motifs are the perfect pick-me-up. What do you think of the warm and delicious orange and pink colour palette?

What was I up to this week? Well...

On Monday I went mellow yellow.

Tuesday I highlighted Swarovski Elements decadent wallpaper collection.

On Wednesday I was inspired by Pantone's colour blast with food by Griottes & I was dazzled by these words.

I created a city chic colour palette on Thursday.

Friday I highlighted the designs of Kyle Schunerman.

On Saturday I showed off one of my favourite inspirational spaces - alfresco style. 

Have a beautiful Sunday! I'm off to enjoy the day outside and run some errands.
