Vegas Letter Lights

Why do I always form obsessions over things I can’t really afford? I’m meant to be saving for a holiday to Vegas later in the year and instead I’m dreaming over Vegas Letter Lights for my living room.

Also known as Alphabet Lights!

I really really really LOVE LOVE LOVE the white Vegas Letter lights.

DownThatLittleLane also offer petite lights for kids rooms. Due to be released in mid 2014.

Instagrammers I follow

Instagram is evolving before our very eyes. Remember the days when Instagram was all about checking out your friends latest creative pics? Those days are gone for me. My feed is now full of designers, food porn, fashion, charities, musicians, actors, homewares and a bunch of celebrities.

From Mariah Carey to Miranda Kerr’s mum to the cafe around the corner, I follow 465 instagrammers.

Here is a snapshot of who I’m lovin’ at the moment:

HateTheyAllHateUs – Aussie stylists and fashionistas

Warehouse wonderland

Yet another home to drool over.

Located in Hawthorn East Melbourne, this warehouse belongs to fashion designer Lynda Newton and her hubby. It’s an old blind factory converted into a contemporary three bedroom home.

When the warehouse was being stripped, useable materials were salvaged and re-used.

Weekly Lovers List {25SEP13}

WWRed

It’s that time of the week. Time to share my lovely internet finds with you and get you excited about using colour in your home!

I remember reading about Louise Bell, owner of online store Table Tonic in a magazine years ago. Louise is homewares obsessed (like most of us) and quit her job as a Creative Director for a fashion magazine to start a quality homewares online store. Sourcing products from all over the world, Table Tonic is most famous for their Moroccan pouffes and Juju hats.

You can also visit their store in Avalon, NSW.

weekly

1. Juju Hats – pick up any home decor magazine and you’ll find a Juju hat. Worn by Village Chiefs in central Africa, these hats are hung on empty walls and add instant texture.

2. Vintage Kilim Rugs – these Turkish rugs are highly durable and stain resistant, not to mention, bursting with colour.

3. Uashmama washable paper bags – pronounced “wash mama” these paper bags feel like leather and wash like fabric. Can be used to hold pot plants, fruit, toys, washi tape … anything really! Also available in silver, black, grey and white.

4. Moroccan pouffes – perfect as an ottoman, side table, seat or footstool. There are so many colours to choose from as well. The pouffes come flat and you can fill it with old sheets, towels, clothes or bean bag beans. FYI – Rachel Zoe has a Table Tonic Moroccan pouffe in her Malibu home!
