Sarah Ellison's magic Real Living covers have been reeling us in for years.  Her approach to styling is fresh, vibrant and effortlessly layered.  I've loved her work for some time now so was naturally pretty excited to learn of the release of her very own wallpaper collection 'Light of Heart' through Emily Ziz.

They're cheerful and pretty and I can't get enough!

[monochrome for the heart of the home]

Monochrome has most certainly made its mark on the runway and like most fashion trends, it's made its way into the heart of our homes - the kitchen.
Against crisp white, it can make a dramatic statement and works well when softened with natural timber finishes.
So cross over to the dark side with these fabulous kitchens.

[st patrick's day festivities]

Regardless of whether of not you have Irish heritage, many Australians will be donning green and celebrating with a few beers, good friends and sing-a-long pub songs this St Patrick's Day.

If, however drinking Guinness in a green velour top hat at O'Malley's isn't your thing, why not simply add a few of these pretties to your weekend festivities.

St Patrick's Day style tips:
  1. Rethink your green: Add deeper shades for a sophisticated look or a lighter mint or sage for a fresh, sweet take on the scheme.
  2. Adorn your front door with a themed wreath - we're in the tail end of the Hydrangea season which make for a beautiful full green wreath.
  3. Add plenty of foliage to your blooms - an easy boost of green!
  4. Get creative with your styling with props such as horseshoes, clovers, gold coins, Claddagh symbols and tartans.
Happy St Patrick's Day!

[melbourne converted factory]

I am completely and utterly in love with converted buildings.
There are stories in their walls.
Sadly there is a serious shortage of little old button factories in Brisbane longing to be converted into trendy industrial style abodes.
This little gem was once a mattress factory in Melbourne and a few years ago, was transformed into an amazing open plan home oozing soul.

Truly beautiful!

If you've been lucky enough to come across an old substation, a little old church or the like, and have made it your home, I'd love to hear from you!

[wedding styling - yandina station]

Last week I assisted Kara Rosenlund in styling this beautiful wedding at Yandina Station.
Here's a few of Kara's stunning shots from the day...
The mega floral wreath hanging behind the bridal table was the creation of Twig & Grace - beautifully symbolic and complemented the rust covered barn wall so perfectly!

If you'd like to see a little more of this amazing wedding, stop by Kara's blog here.
