Meeting: Jamee Huntington from Inadesignerhome (IDH)

A little bit more Sydney my design bunnies...

I had the pleasure of getting to sit down and shoot the design breeze with Sydney sider Jamee Huntington from Inadesignerhome (IDH).  What a treat.

Over organic green teas, sitting in a leafy park, Jamee gave me the skinney on her interior design web based business from a shared office (The Commune) in the outskirts of Surrey Hills.  What I dug about Jamee's business is that she has hand picked Australian and International designers to provide product for the Interior Trades.  This means that designers can get access to great products which they can then specifiy to their clients.

I found Jamee when I was serching the web for some 'different' pendants for a client.  I spotted the Enoki range and immediately was in love.  This range is stunning and like I required, different.  It has a structural wooden skelton with a soft voile exterior.  

I often get asked about lighting, and I'm always on the look out for something unique that is not outrageously priced and not 'everywhere'.  This range ticked my boxes.

She has emassed a beautiful range of all sorts of goodies, including the Danish design fabness from Muuto.  Fun and funky.  My favourites from this range include the 'Unfold' pendant light and the 'The Dots' wall hooks.  

AND guess what there is additional 20% off all Muuto prods at the mo.  Bonus!

Muuto Products

Her website is packed with goods and goodies with mostly an Australian and Scandinavian bent and that is fine with me.  Good bent.

What impressed me about Jamee was her get-up-and-go attitude.  She has a passion and drive for good design and is shines thorugh in her dedication to what she does.  Plus she's a babe.  It was so lovely to meet such gem - thanks Jamee and see you next time!

You can find her on Facebook, Website, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter

Shop it up: Vintage Marquee Lights

Waiting for a sign was not me hoping that some mythical creature would appear or the next lotto numbers to emerge from scattered stones.  I literally have been waiting for my sign...

and it arrived.

Oh happy me.  A vintage sign.  My very own.  

I have been spotting these yummy's all over the shop... Pinterest, Shelter Mags, Look books, and Catalogues.  Not to be out done, I investigated and luck behold I found.

I found Jerrad and his skills of vintage marquee goodness.  Him and his lovely wife make and own Vintage Marquee Lights. They sell a glittering array of rust and coloured rust signs, symbols, letters and numbers.  They can be joined up to make works or simply stand alone.

They rock my eyes.  So did their sweet movie.

Teeeeeeensy problem.  They came with bulbs that hated our NZ voltage.  I fixed that issue and bingo-mingo we have light.  Not cheap to fixaroo but do-able none the less.  If you are to order one from Jerrad, I'm happy to assist with the conversion - just contact moi.

Here's my red arrow in ma kitchen.  S'lovely.

good prod: woodchuck pendants from lindsey adelman

Oh my help - lovely pendants abound.
