Lessons in Still-Life (Vignette)

August 30, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

Anyone who is in awe of beautiful still-life arrangements in the home, but also acutely aware of how tricky it can be, should take a look at Kara Rosenlund’s blog and her brilliant video on styling a plain white shelf. Genius and inspirational! Kara is a props stylist and buyer, who also runs vignette (still-life) workshops in Australia. You can see from her blog and portfolio, she is a total master. I’m also just a little bit in love with […]

Stud Service 2120

August 16, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

Our extension is taking so long I’m beginning to forget what’s its like to have a home. I’m itching to get the candles out and make things cosy, and without the ability to do that, I feel like I’ve lost my right arm. Apparently we have a month to go but looking outside it seems a long way off! So to cheer myself up, and live in somebody’s else’s shoes for a while, I’m lusting after Ellen Degeneres and Portia […]

Greys & Metals: A Lesson in Renovation

July 13, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

This house is a lesson in how to renovate a 19th century hospital into a quirky family abode. Fortunately Ludvine Degas specialises in renovations and her husband runs a metalwork company. Taking over seven years, this is the result – a beautiful fusion of soft greys and industrial metal. Oh, what I would do for that pool right now! Photographs by Anne Catherine Scoffoni

Zadig & Voltaire Bohemian Hideaway

June 21, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

How perfect would this Coriscan retreat be, for all those covetable boho looks from last week? No surprise then that it belongs to the designer of Zadig et Voltaire – the french hippie/rockstar brand. You can just feel the dry heat coming off the pages! Images: Milk Decoration

Dark Colours & Raw Textures

June 19, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

I don’t normally go for dark colours in the home but this dwelling in Cape Town has just the right injection of warmth. I love the textured walls, the yellow pop of colour and those suitcases, antlers…..the list goes on! House & Leisure SA June 2013, Photographs Micky Hoyle

Natural Character

May 24, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

I love the way this little home has been decorated. Really simply but drawing the eye to the natural character of the rooms. A tranquil post to lead us into the weekend……. (Images: Anna Kern/House of Pictures for Elle Decoration July 2013)

Eclectic Makeover, Italian Style

May 16, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

Check out this stunning 19th century villa in Reggio Emilia. It manages to mix glamour, salvage and antique style all into one. In fact, I pinched this from Elle Decoration Country – and I’m totally loving this magazine. I’m not massively into designer interiors and this is just full of the electic, collector-style homes. Right up my street – and I think the second edition is out soon, so keep your eye out for it. Images by Fabrizio Ciccioni/ Living […]

Somerset House, Boden Style

May 9, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

I have just returned from Somerset House, where my good friend Emma and I were able to sample preview pieces from the next Boden Autumn Winter 2013 range. Forgetting the clothes for just a second, the styling for this event was “amazing”. The rooms were decked out with loads of quirky details which have just given me inspiration overload. What do you make of this? So now I know what to do with David’s collection of old tapes! And I […]

Project X Goes Live

May 6, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

Firstly the pole shoot went well (I think)! I have yet to see the pics but we worked our backsides off and made a pretty good team, I might add. So I’m hoping there must be some money shots there. I certainly have the bruises to prove it! Watch this space people…. Secondly, I can now finally launch Project X. I have been collecting a few of my illustrations which people have “liked” on the blog and decided to get […]
