Handles

These might have to be some of the sexiest handles on the market right now. 

Thought for the day

“This generation listens with their eyes.”
— Ravi Zacharias

Two days ago my friend sent me a podcast to listen too.  This is the quote that stood out from the session. 

Leadership

“A leader should lead. That is, he should set the pace, define the path, embody the vision, and inspire emulation. He himself should be what he is calling others to be. That is what it means to lead.”
— John Piper

Transparency

There's something to be said for businesses that are honest and transparent.  I've always been attracted to honest folks.  It's rare though.  I've experienced the opposite and been shaken to the core when people are deceitful in their business practices. 

This past week I discovered this company called Everlane.  I was pleasantly surprised (after stalking their website) to find this picture of their pricing.  You can click on any item for sale on their website, and they will tell you:

1. How much it costs the company to make, and

2. How much they sell it for

Check it out.  What do you think? Is this a new trend for companies?

The power of photographs

Photographs are powerful. This photo is distracting me tonight because I'm imagining myself holidaying inside it.

Where was it taken?  Who owns this place?  What does the inside look like?

Give me a bottle of red and I'm yours.

Rocklea Flower Market

I've been itching to get over to Rocklea and visit the flower markets.  I love this place because there's never a shortage of inspiration.  Creation.is.breathtaking. 

Wardrobes

My wardrobe has definitely been influenced by the boho style of late.  Floppy hats, cuffs and leather chokers are still trending this summer and I'm loving every minute.

Timber

I've been doing so well this afternoon powering through a design document I've wanted to write for ages.  It's 9.20pm, I'm listening to Mumford & Sons, I have 11 documents open and I'm trawling through pinterest (daydreaming about design spaces).  I've always been attracted to brick, timber and the rustic barn look.  Here's a photo that made me do a double-take. 

Artwork

The right artwork makes all the difference in a room.  I recently hung this picture on my wall and I'm delighted with how well it suits the space.  The colours compliment my timber dresser perfectly. 

Dark Chocolate

Boxing day.... this afternoon I've been dabbling in some food photography projects.  It was terribly difficult to focus at times as the strong aroma of cacao was VERY distracting.  Makira Gold will be launching soon.  Watch on social media for more exciting news on this project. 

Maleny Modernism

Today I made a mad dash to Maleny to check on a project I've been working on.  The bathrooms are so good I could squeal. 

Random Styling at Home

Gum nuts have influenced my Christmas styling a lot this year.  I've attached them to so many wreaths.  I think it's great to make your home reflect the rich flora of this magnificent country. 

Christmas Entertaining

Parties are in full swing which means lots of food!  I like to cater using a large round platter, and scattering the food all about.   

It's the delicate things

Here's my version of a petite Christmas tree complimented with copper star fairy lights, wrapped in a bundle of canvas and muslin goodness. 

All photos shot on a 50mm fixed lens.
