a page from my visual diary

school update

Last week at school we started to learn about the Design Elements, in particular we focused on Point, Line, shape and Form. We looked at a number of images and identified each of the elements, it was loads of fun. We then had to gather a number of images for our visual diaries and point out the elements - "He" called this homework - I call it, just what I love to do. Kx

tear sheets

please excuse the photos, the reflection is terrible - but here are few tear sheets I did for my mum on Mothers Day - we didn't get to spend the day together, so I thought I would send her some of the things I know she loves. She has started a look book too, if you haven't then maybe you should, it's a great way to unleash your creative flair and also establish your look/style.......what do you think my mums look is???

look book update

happy weekend to you all, here is a look book update - hoping to get some more pages done over the weekend....
oooh, I do love a vintage mirror, simple but very effective.

my lookbook update

here are some favorite pics from some favorite mags mashed together to inspire and delight. today I have been doing lots of tearing,cutting, ripping and pasting in preparation for some more look book pages...

my look book, I love mags!

my look book

BOO!! ohh it's me, have you missed me? I've missed you all. Time to switch on for 2011, take a peek at me look book, I've been working on it whilst holidaying down the beach, I do love doing this in case you haven't noticed.

I have lots on so far for 2011, I have a new home project that involves all the hard surfaces for the interior...a roofing project, a blind project, a carpeting job and most excitingly, a bathroom project, I am looking forward to getting my teeth into all of these and more.......and of course school starts next week!!!!!!!

my look book

love the kiddy art group together on the black board.

love those rustic urns grouped together

love a bit of David Bromley!

and just cause....

guess what???? my look book is full - there is only one thing left to do..........start another one! to me these are like mini mood boards! I really truly love them - all of them!!

my lookbook

here are two more pages from my look book, right now I am loving yellow - wouldn't a yellow door be great. And as always I have this thing for Blue!

my bathroom lookbook

my favorite thing to do at work is to play with all the colour swatches and samples and just look at colour plans for clients and builders. I love looking at the choices and seeing how they work together, the lady I work with, really is the guru when it comes to colour plans and I love just listening and watching what she does. I am learning lots (even though the juggling act is sometimes hard to cope with), and slowly gaining confidence in my own choices. The other thing I love doing is helping clients choose the hard surfaces for their homes, this usually means choosing bathroom tiles for their floors, walls, bench top stones and cabinet colors. That really is so much fun and does not feel like work at all. Here are two pages from my bathroom and kitchen lookbook that is coming along nicely.....

tile love

photos from - living etc &decor addict

This is my first tile post - as promised this is the first of many peaks at my tile "look book". And although we don't sell many of these at work, I do love patterned Moroccan tiles. Like wallpaper, they thread an artistic expression into the architecture and fabric of a home - and in these days of fairly neutral backdrops - it's a wonderful relief to come across a space that uses pattern in this way. I also think I love the colours blue and green - consciously or subconsciously I am drawn to these colours and like most, I find them soothing and refreshing and just beautiful to look at - I'd love to use these!

my look book

still very behind in getting my look book up to date and now I have decided to start another one on tiling to help me at work, I've pulled some images together but have not managed to get them stuck into anything yet, so until then, here is a page from my look book inspired by Kylie Kwong.

look book

I have a whole lot of tear outs ready to be posted into my look book, it wasn't until yesterday, that I just realised how much i have been missing my pictures. Then today I saw this post and I thought....I just put that picture into my look book, I love the simplicity and the combination of colours, it really just appealed to me, and to others too, I am sure. More look book next week, hope you all have a lovely weekend.x

a page from my look book 19.07.10

i love this dinning room on the left. i love the table and chairs - a little Scandinavian looking I think. I love the lighting, the artwork on the wall and the abundance of natural light, this house fits me just like a glove.....

school update

well, it feels like forever since I was last at school - these holidays have gone so fast, but I also feel like I have had a really good break - looking forward to getting back into it tonight - will let you know what goes on in this new subject tomorrow! for now take another peak at my look book...I love those lanterns hanging in the streets of the Milan for their recent Furniture Festival, bottom left hand corner.

look book

you might remember, that I mentioned here, that I would try to post a page a day from my look book - well, lets just say that I may have over committed myself, I do intend to keep posting pages, just not everyday!

well hello....

well hello there, I have been missing for a few days, sorry...... I've been hanging with my kiddies whilst on school holidays. Still lots going on, just need five minutes to myself to pull it all together, in the mean time take a look at my mood board above my work space. Hope you are enjoying the school holidays too!
