2 weeks to go!

Only 2 weeks to go til our book campaign ends! To date we have raised
$18,287 thanks to 260 loyal supporters. Wow that's such a fantastic
effort - thanks so much to everyone who has pre-ordered a copy of the
book. We still have to get to our target goal of $35,000 before we get
a single cent from the campaign so please, pretty please pre-order a
copy of the Adore Home book before it's too late. www.pozible.com/adore

Everingham and Watson

In the Everingham & Watson spirit of all things Australian, they have
looked to the end of a long summer for this PRAWNtastic design. Inspired
by beach holidays, long lunches, endless summers and the big prawn,
they have captured the essence of an Australian icon in a new iconic design.
The palette pays homage to the prawn, with a contemporary twist.
Check out some of their new designs by clicking here.

Elegant Melbourne Home

Today we have a gorgeous home tour for you from Melbourne based interior
designer Massimo Speroni from Massimo Interiors. His clients wanted an
elegant, modern yet comfortable open plan living space to entertain friends
and family. The client, a professional couple, wanted a home with personality
and a wow factor with that level of luxury you might find in a 5 star hotel.

The inspiration for the home was based on the painting "Romans of the
Decadence." The clients had a real connection with the artwork after
seeing it in Paris and loved the idea of using it in their home when Massimo
presented his initial design concepts. A painting like this one could
look a tad conservative and stuffy however using the whole painting as
a mural on the wall gives it a whole new lease of life and makes it feel
more contemporary. It definitely gives the living room its wow factor.

20 days to go...

Only 20 days to go til our Pozible book campaign is over. Eek!
We've have raised 47% of the funds but still have $18,378 to
raise to reach our target goal. Also we have new revised pricing
for our readers from New Zealand and US/Canada which is great
news and hopefully will encourage more to pre-order a copy of
the book. Plus we still need at least 5 more people to book in on
our Brisbane interior store shopping tour to make it a reality. If we
can get another 20 or so people book in we can run 2 tours over
2 different weekends. It's sure to be a fun day out! To pledge go to:

Harolds Finishing Touches

In the latest edition of Adore Home magazine we featured 24 year old Aaron
Bourne's homewares shop - Harolds Finishing Touches in Toowoomba. It is
such an amazing store and if you're ever headed to Toowoomba you simply
must go visit. But the good news for those who don't live nearby is that
Harolds Finishing Touches is introducing an online store this year which
means you can purchase all of the lovely goodies from his store with
the click of a mouse! I'll be sure to let you all know once it goes live.
Thought I'd share some bonus pictures that didn't make it into the mag...

And if you thought Aaron's store was stunning - check out his bedroom
and home office space. Very luxe and layered with a masculine edge.
