Chair Love: Alex Fulton Design Furniture

The newest edition to the AFD furniture collection has just been finished.

Rather happy with end result. Tots up-cycled.

NB: earthquake-chic-concrete-styling.

Home love: Gemma Ahern's House

Gemma is sister of Abigail Ahern and part of the Atelier Abigail Ahern Company.

This house is totally yum with it's high voltage colour contrasts.  

The pops of fluoro is so good that I even forgive the use of the bus sign.

She has also written a book called A Girls Guide to Decorating.  You too can turn your place from "crash to flash" (her words not mine!).

Wash away a shitty day

Bit moaney today.  I shouldn't be, but I am.  Where do you turn for an emotional pick-me-up?  

Why Pinterest of course.

This image jumped out as a visual anti-depressant.  It speaks to me like a dolphin speaks to Megan (Bridesmaids Movie joke).

My pulse slowed and a colour-induced-calmness washed over me - then I noticed the 

WALL BOOBS and CHAIR ON CEILING.

Back to the black mood...  Don't worry, nothing a good sleep won't fix.  

I'm also Day 11 of being alcohol-free.  That explains all really.

Outside the box: Boxpark

This is such an ace concept and one that many developers and local business peeps here in Christchurch are and should be considering.

This wee ditty is from Boxpark based in Shoreditch, London.  Inovative and exciting.

All ideas and ideas are good.  Let's now 'do' those ideas CHCH.

Printastic: Zoe Ingram

These prints have a visceral effect on me.  

By now, those who regularly read me, will have a sight inkling that colour is a "thing" for me.

So are these beautiful prints by the super talented Zoe Ingram.  She's no 'one trick pony',  her portfolio is testament to a wealth of talent and imagination.

They sing to me..... Sunshine

Moonlight

Goodtimes

Boogey 

Zoe lives in Adelaide, Australia, and these lovelies are available through her website and other places.

Nice work Z.  I rooooolly love them. 

Floored by: The Humlegarden Apartment, Stockholm

I knew I was part Swedish and after seeing this apartment I truly believe this is my long lost relation.

My jaw is still on the ground - so will just type the details and clean up the drool later.

Designed by Tham & Videgard Arkitekter - the colours of the parquet floor mirror the neighbouring parks' changing hues of the seasons.  

Who cares...it's fucking cool man.

I found it at Plenty of Colour (my new bestie blog).  Thanks Chloe - I'm finding in very hard not to re-blog all your posts.

I got interviewed: Raina Cox of 'If the Lampshade fits'
