I received my copy of Australian Country Style today and couldn’t wait to show you this home of Justine Bishop, an Interior Designer, in the Dandenong Ranges, Victoria. The house is an old cottage that he admired for years…then nabbed it and went to work.
The man can display. Utilitarian becomes beautiful…
and the strange, stunning. This telescope stand and army advertisement show his love for military campaigns, which is picked up through the rest of the house. I so want those urns!
Today I have been looking through some Home Beautiful Mags and came across this house which I love. It is home to Ceramist Kate Shea. I adore this room and would love my lounge to be covered in white with that style of cushions on it (have to wait for jam hand stage to be over first)…
I also love the look of her dining area with the French farmhouse work table. The portrait is a 1920’s watercolour of a Shakespearean actor she bought at Christies in London (she lived around the corner). Don’t you think the whole look is like “Somethings Gotta Give”?…
AAAHHHH! The set from said movie. I am in love with the set designer. This is everything I would want in a house if I had a chance to plan from dirt up. I would say “here, re create that”.
These chairs are so like Kate’s dining room chairs. I love them. I think I would have them in our outdoor area at our current Home though. For more great images that will remind you of this set and just great homes, photos etc go to www.citified.blogspot.com the page is called ‘This is glamorous’ it is such a fab site. I think I am going to watch the movie…again!
My wish list is constantly changing, but I would like one of these Louis XV style Bergeres chairs…
and some new linen from Carina Sherlock…
definitely a Lounge with kid friendly fabric (that looks stylish as well)…
this outdoor setting by Patricia Urquiola for B&B Italia, which is like the Fat Sofa range.
Go to www.bebitalia.it to see more
and finally (for now) some ”Monchique’ wallpaper form Osbourne & Little from www.mokumtextiles.com This I would like for the feature wall in the shop, maybe behind the register area….who knows! I am sure I will have a new list next week, Ness x
I told you we were going to be busy this weekend. 
I managed to save this frame that I painted white from the depths
Have a great weekend. We aren’t camping, but this image from Country Home looked to me like a Winter camping image, except here in Tas at the moment you would need woolly knickers and a duvet body pouch to keep you from getting frost bite…bbbrrrrr!
…AAhhhh. This is more my idea of a weekend of relaxing. This serene porch is from House Beautiful. The rest of the house is stunning. Emma from whiteandwander has done a piece on it recently. We will be doing some things with the boys and catching up on some work. I am in the mood to re-do the office….look out Mic.©Marley&Lockyer 2024. All Rights Reserved.
