My work is a mix of inspiration and perspiration. In the past weeks, perspiration has won out and I have not had much time to be inspired to blog. As a bit of a treat I bought the fall (halloween) issue of Martha Stewart Living ( we get it a month later here in Australia) and I just thought it was great.
There was a fab industrial style house reno in Texas, a spooky but beautiful story on Victoriana style plus a spread on how to decorate with dark colours. It was the best issue of Martha I have seen yet.
I love it when inspiration breaks a week of heavy workload and here are some of my breakthrough images. I hope they speak to you too.
P.S. I couldn't believe the orange industrial shelving. I have had the same thing supporting my bathroom vanity basin for the past 4 years and many visitors, parents especially, have wondered why we haven't got around to replacing it yet. "When are you going to get a 'proper' vanity?" is the usual question. Thanks Martha, if its good enough for you....
Love the orange shelving, it's divine!!
ReplyDeleteYou should post a picture of your vanity - sounds really cool! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHi - yes I will post the vanity. Mine has more than neat piles of white towels on it so I have to do a bit of styling! The bathroom walls are lined in flat galvanised metal panels.
ReplyDeleteOh my!! I love the map wall.. and the orange industrial rack like thing.. Awesome!!
ReplyDeleteLoving the large amount of white towels set against the orange and tea coloured walls. So simple and so effective. Rock on Martha...
ReplyDeleteHi Catherine. I've just found your blog and I love it! Love the style, the pics, everything...:))

Great inspirations. I know what you mean about it nicely breaking up the workload and getting some ideas or simply escapism!
