INSPIRATION FOR THIS POST
As a born again Melbournian I have been spending a fair bit of time reading through The Design Files. It’s kinda like getting out and about and having a good shop without having to leave the comfort of your own home. (Although, cabin fever has set in and today I WILL be getting out and about to see these stores in the flesh). Anyway, I cam across these lovely images and wanted to this floor immediately.
Plantation coffee house was designed by Foolscap Studio in collaboration with Jennifer Lowe and Brooke Thorn. All the photos by Tracey Lee Hayes . For more photos and details of the project CLICK HERE.

INSPIRATION FOR THIS POST
I am sorry to be a copy blogger today however when I read on The Design Files that it was Kikki K’s 10th birthday I was so proud. Retail and design in this country are all hard concepts to get off the ground but staying alive for like TEN YEARS is really something else altogether. We are all aware of the “buy factor” of these amazing products- today in celebration I ask you to think about styling factor. Be inspired to be organised and enjoy the structure lines and clean palettes.
Be sure to head over the The Design Files to have a read about the lady behind the success!

INSPIRATION FOR THIS POST
I really want to start painting again. When I am not being creative enough I feel like a zombie, so I am aiming this weekend to start some new paintings. That in mind I saw some incredible paintings by Craig Waddell when I was at Biota in Bowral in the weekend. Both the artist and the amazing new organic restaurant are highly recommended!
This little number will set you back $27,000- check out Gallery 9 in Sydney if you are in the market

Not to leave you without an at home styling idea I found these images on the The Design Files – whilst the photography is not the inspirational style I usually share on this blog the idea is succinct and something I love.

TRANSLATION: TRY THIS AT HOME
- I love how the use of blonde wood, white edges and black frames create the ultimate neutral palette for displaying these images.
- Don’t be afraid to mix frame styles just ensure that they are lined up perfectly so the story is continued.
- Look for illustrations, etching or small black and white images to highlight the simple colour palette
- If you have old family photos in black and white and want to display them without them looking daggy try something like this.
- Ensure there is plenty of white space in the border and the frame width is kept reasonably consistent if not the same – but of course you can vary frame sizes.
