INSPIRATION FOR THIS POST
The Life In Style Event was held in Sydney over the weekend. This trade event is a showcase of the amazing home wares and gift products that we can expect to see in store soon. There are also a few categories that I think I can say we do not need to buy anymore of
- Necklaces with wooden blue birds
- Velvet headbands with bows
- Terrible woollen jumper things
- PJ’s that come in pouches of the same fabric
- Bags that look good and feel crap
- Neck pillows with matching travel tags- what the?
- Cushions with stamp and envelope/ letter/ motifs
- Ugly things that keep handbags off the ground at the table- no one uses them!
Things that are good and that you should buy
- Products made from recycled waste- baskets woven from garbage bags, jewellery made from bottle caps.
- Smart, real leather travel wallets
- Very own “at home light boxes” that you can change the letters of!! Quote of the day anyone? Available from Top 3 by Design.
- Umbrellas with curved corners instead of pointy edges- brilliant!
- Amazing leather from Alan Myerson (touch it and you will agree)
- Cool things from Lightly like these
- Printed vases (see below)- these flowers don’t die so you can just add leaves! Much cheaper.
Oh, so I give you all this love and you still want a styling idea?? Of course you do- that is what FURNNISH is all about! Voila- I present little stool big vase!
Now before you dismiss this as terrible shop fitting style think about how smart this could look in a house. Cute chair in any colour you like- TICK. Large ornate vase looking decorative and ornamental by virtue of it’s proportion- TICK! Dead twigs optional I just like the idea of playing up proportions!
