beautiful things

after moving back from the UK to Australia I try not to lament about how narrow our furnishings retail market is. sometimes to make things worse I will have a quick browse on some US or European sites......... here are some of the beautiful things that can be frustratingly hard to find in Australia (then I think of our beaches, lifestyle, food, horizons....and all is back to equilibrium)

these fantastic bar stools are by Phillippe Starck for Emeco

 brass side table by Coleen Rider

brass coffee table by Coleen Rider

faux bamboo bar stools by Coleen Rider (am I beginning to sound like i have a crush??!)

Dana John walnut hand carved ottoman. yum.

country breakfast eatery by Stamp Interiors

as I have mentioned time and time again i love the blue & white combination. Here we have used to to revive a tired kitchen eatery. We have incorporated existing furniture & blinds as well as some favoured old friend cushions to create a functional and inviting area. Unfortunately the garden is in mid winter, but imagine stunning English trees full of leaves and a beautiful feast of flowers as the backdrop to such a pretty family meeting area.
