YOU ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE ME LIKE INDOOR FOLIAGE!! 

(Maybe just a liddle bit)

Alana's imaginary sitting room.

Fave bits: the trio of black lights - especially because they don't completely match - and the bench seats (bench seats make you feel like you're in a cafe). 

Arrggghhhh! (Sound of loving something so much it makes you do a gurgly scream.)

If I got adopted by Daddy Warbucks, I'd buy ALL the amazing chairs from E15

Fancy Spaces!

I'm ready to move in here. Or at the very least, steal that bench seat with the floral upholstery. 

No comment required.

and... a close up!

I bloody love a good archway. 

Now this is a very cute idea: use a vintage ceiling light as a bedside light - and make the cord a wall feature. Weekend project?

This seriously awesome sofa is from... IKEA! Yes.

Studio Sweet Studio.

Our House - Mike & Bray

Who lives here? 

Engaged couple Mike & Bray.

Our house is not a home without…

Art, fresh flowers and our little cat Kit.   

On Saturday morning you can probably find us... 

Having breakfast at our new local - the Block Cafe in Blockhouse Bay (Auckland), its just a short wander from home for a great breakfast! Concrete/Brick/Wood fit out, happy people, great coffee and great food! Plate-sized hash brown x 2 please.   

Best buy...

We recently swapped out a big dining suite for a smaller sized high office meeting table and stools - best decision ever, clean lines, industrial, giving better balance of space and modernising our pretty compact dining area. The white office Meeting table (with castors) was a great buy from Freedom.   

Best find or gift...

We found an awesome painting of a baboon called Bob at a cafe in Kingsland, it's by local artist Emmaline Bailey. It has an aggressive energy to it that gets people talking, it's quite different to the other work that we have seen of the artist. 3 months down the track I woke up on my birthday and Bray presented me with this big present to unwrap - He's a keeper!    

On our house wish-list...  

We would love a white Flos Skygarden Pendant light to hang in the bathroom!  

Sunday Spaces

Sort-of ugly odd little vintage chair, don't go changing, you're perfect just the way you are.

Some Fancy Spaces...

Let's have a look at some spaces with prints on the walls, shall we? OK. 

9 kinds of wonderful

I think I'm going to buy that Apple Papple poster. Want me to get one for you while I'm at it?

Black white and awesome. And high fives for the longer-than-usual striped cushion.
(But is that a giant puzzle piece I spy behind the gold lamp? You ruined it, puzzle piece. Go home.)

Hey guys, I love that rugimages via

Temporary gallery wall with washi tape.

If I was a bouncer I'd let in the sofa, the light, and the pink wall. But I'd have to tell those hanging prints that it's a private function, sorry, and we're full. via
