FRIDAY FAVS // SEVENTH LANE

Friday Fav's this week is a real special one as it is celebrating

a friends business, Seventh Lane. 

Today I am sharing with you my favourite items from their newly

I love the playful yet relaxed nature of the range as well as the geometric

prints! We all know how I feel about funky geometric prints! 

They are on my wish list that is for sure! 

1. Love A3 Digital Print

2. Tribal cushion in charcoal 

3. Pep round cushion

SPARKK SHOP

One of my favourite go to suppliers for all things cool is Sparkk. They know me well and are always willing to help me out on any project that I am working on. I love it not only because they are sustainable in their practice but it is all made with love right here in Sydney and on demand. 

Do not get me wrong, I love having creative freedom sometimes because honestly, I do A LOT of thinking and at times, I just want the patterns and materials to be all ready to go for me and all I have to just say, "that's it" and off we go. I love Sparkk because they have that creative balance down pat, I have some creative freedom with colours and have heaps of patterns to pick from and if I really want to be wild with the design, they can customise it for me. 

I am so excited because for a couple of months now they have opened their own online store, so that their amazing patterns and designs are available and accessible to everyone. 

If you are off looking for something unique for your home or that perfect cushion, this is the place you will be find it.

FEATURE FRIDAY: GET READY FOR SUMMER WITH KAS

With such beautiful weather and summer just around the corner there has been a lot of talk through my blog and others about getting your home ready for the hot weather. Spring cleaning, de cluttering and brining the summer vibe right through your home are topics which are really hot right now. KAS a leading Australian contemporary and youthful homewares brand has hit this brief right on the head with their new summer campaign. Tropics, Island Escapes, Pineapples, cocktails, travels... it is all the rage this spring summer 2013/2014, which KAS captures without a doubt in their very vibrant new collection. It makes me want to jump on plane en route to somewhere tropical, when looking at the images because clearly it evokes the real need to be hiding away on a beach in the sun! Thankfully it is the long weekend down here in Sydney and we are expecting beautiful weather.

What I really love about this KAS collection is the vibrant colour combinations as well as mix matching of different patterns on the one cushion or bedding range. That is very clever and usually we do not see that type of attention to detail on a retail level,  but more so when the designer has the control over upholstery and knows that mixing two different prints or colours on the one surface will work beautifully. I also like that along with the vibrant range they have interpreted the ever so popular grey and made it a little more fancy and earthy to match the summer theme. Which I think is a great idea, as it gives you the ability to differentiate between casual vs more fancy homewares/accessories. We are also seeing geometric again, which I love but an introduction to the ever so popular water colour prints this season, which are a nice contrast and softer in colour and pattern.

Take a look and be inspired by the beautiful colour combinations and patterns. Images have been sourced from the KAS Summer Catalogue and can be found here. For more information on KAS or to buy any of their beautiful products make sure to visit the website by clicking here.

I'd also like to say, their styling team and design team have done an absolutely amazing job creating these beautiful images. They are very very well done!

Enjoy the long weekend! We hope this inspires you.

BTS: LOTS OF COLOUR & ORGANISED MESS

Such a great and inspiring day... cannot wait for the rest of the design fair to continue and with so much to report on. Then I get back to my organised mess that is my work station ... not my actual desk...just where the design magic happens and cant wait to get back stuck into my important projects. 

Here are a few images to share what has been happening this week including some progress shots on a whole new scheme for a client's bedroom ( the results are coming up amazingly well) and a very happy clients picture that was sent to me of my lovely cushions that were purchased. 

I also wanted to share a little quote that I found yesterday that was very cute and true. It is so important to be nice to everyone and be considerate towards other. Anyone who knows me well, knows that I am a VERY big advocate for this type of behavior. It is very true that it really does make all the difference. 

Feature Friday will be posted on Saturday again this week, as you all know what the feature is going to be!

Have a great night,

ARTIST PROMOTION

Exciting news for this cold Thursday night, the website Society6 where I currently have started selling some of my print designs have another artist promotion happening, which means it is FREE SHIPPING! Now who does not love free shipping? I especially love my cushion covers and my Iphone skins & covers which you have seen me blog about before. I know some of my lovely loyal readers have expressed their love and desire to own some of my designs so I thought I would share with you the promotional link you can use to access the free shipping.

Click here!

Lots more designs to come but I have finally started adding more, including my new venture into the geometrics, which you all know I love. Hexagons are the choice of shape at the moment and are making a huge come back lately being featured in a lot of different rug designs and homewares accessories.

Just a friendly reminder, Society6 is an american website so it takes roughly about 10 to 14 days to receive your package and the free shipping only applies to cushion covers without an insert, skins, Iphone, Ipad, laptop cases. It does not include cushions with inserts, framed and stretched canvas. Who needs inserts anyway... with just a cover means that you can chop and change your case as much as you like!
