Bindle - unique gifts

I love this concept from Bindle - they engage local artisans to produce
Australian, hand-made, tailored gift packages. There are Bindles for every
occasion, each one lovingly and thoughtfully put together. Founder Catherine
Blackford states that she "faced a constant nightmare of trying to find an
inspired gift for friends and family for milestone occasions. The fact is that
giving a gift to someone is and should be a very personal experience, a
chance to show that person how much they mean to you. The problem is
finding the time to assemble those gifts or gift. This combined with the
need to showcase local artisans meant that Bindle was born."

My Dream Home Office

I've been thinking a lot lately about how I need a bigger space
for my home office and how I'd like to change things up a bit.
I own the painting (pictured below) and would like to build the
colour scheme for my home office around it. I love the Kartell
Mademoiselle chair pictured above and adore this bright and
colourful study nook. The colours are so bright and cheery. If
I was to wallpaper the walls I think I would choose one of
Anna Spiro's wallpaper designs from Porter's Paints.

Inspiration: Beverly Hills Hotel

You might remember me talking about some of my goals earlier
this year (click here to read more) and I'm super excited to say
that another one of these goals is coming true! My mum and I have
recently booked our trip to California and New York for August this
year and I'm so unbelievably excited. I'm already planning which
places I'd love to visit, including the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles.
Here's what I'd like to pack for my trip away!

IKEA's new range of fabric

IKEA’s new textile range for this April is a twist on the past with a
nod to the future. Think woodland creature patterns with
psychedelic undertones. Sally Dubois, IKEA 1st Visual Merchandiser
says, “April's range is considerably diverse, and there are a number of
whimsical textiles juxtaposed with strong colour blocks. What better
way to spice up a room then with a splash of colour and a moose!”

Cute little girl's nursery

Today I thought I would share with you the most adorable little
girl's nursery designed by New York designers Sissy + Marley.

+ Marley's e-decorating service to create this nursery for her daughter Victoria.

We did it!

We did it! Yay! We have raised $35,495 to print the Adore Home book!
Thank you so so much to everyone who has pledged their support. We've had
such an overwhelming response to the book campaign. I can't wait to get
straight into it and start creating this gorgeous coffee table book for you all.
I'm aiming to go to print late October/early November this year. If you missed
out on pre-ordering a copy you can always purchase the book when it's
launched later this year from the Adore online store or from one of the
many retailers who will be stocking it. Thank you, thank you, thank you! xx

One day to go!!

We have just 24 hours to go to raise the remainder of the funds to be able
to print the Adore Home book. So far we have raised 80% of our target goal
($28,004)! Wow, what an absolutely phenomenal response we've had. Thank
you so much to all of our dear readers who have pledged their support for
the book. If you haven't yet pledged please head to the Pozible website
