<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Showing my age, but I clearly remember the release of the album Zenyatta Mondatta by The Police in 1980. The album title apparently was a made up word which has now been applied to this vibrant classic fabric by Schumacher. Not sure what the link is there.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I look at wallpaper a lot as part of my work at Porter's Paints. I've learnt that although you may love a wallpaper pattern, if the scale is not right for the room it won't work. Here is a great example of scale and form that is just right framing the window with the organic shapes of the branches. All the lines are curved - the vanity, the spalshback and the upholstery and I love the line up of the stool and the wallpaper on the left. This iconic paper is Flower Quince by Clarence House.</span></div>

We have not yet done this look which I love. Obviously you would only do it if you had lovely shiny under sink plumbing (no plastic) and I am assuming the mirror is in two pieces with the lower part cut around the vanity. I don't know, it could be once piece that is predrilled by the glazier ? . . .</span><br />

This post is for my friend Jane. Jane has impeccable design style and taste so its always a bit challenging when she says 'any ideas for my hall pendants ??' Had to be neutral preferably with a bit of silver shine and interest, a bit of a feature but not a screaming focal point. Her walls are soft grey. Hope she likes it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Lots that is clever about this serene guest bedroom. The shared central bedside table saves on space but what pulls the scheme all together is the size and layout of the six prints over the beds. Plenty of reading material in the bottom of the bedside too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I was the guest of <a href="http://www.luxaflex.com.au/au/en/home/home/sb.cn">Luxaflex</a> recently at a lovely event at La Croix, Potts Point giving media and bloggers an overview of the extensive Luxaflex range and a preview of the new Luxaflex ipad app. It is always fun to meet people who are passionate about their product and with deep deep knowledge about the textiles and technology we need to to both make the most of the sunshine and block it out when required. Pearls of wisdom that I came away with were that alot of Luxaflex specialist fabric is made here in Australia as we know what we need to withstand our sun, Luxaflex collect and recycle old blinds, recycling the fibres into new fabric, they can now do widths of 6m (!) in some <span id="goog_514873936"></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/">exterior products<span id="goog_514873937"></span></a> (great for those gap haters). I love the Evo range of contemporary awnings and the very architectural exteriors louvres shown below. La Croix was a delight also - designed by Iain Halliday in a palette of soft grey tumbled stone, marble and buttery grey leather cushions. A perfect neutral backdrop for the shop's mirrors and decorative items scattered amongst the cafe tables. Thanks again to Luxaflex for inviting me along.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is the ideal gift for a busy mother - I would love one myself. Imagine firing up your On Air sign when you are talking on the phone to discourage your offspring from interrupting you. Or for outside a study when you really need to finish something when working from home. Or, of less benefit, for your husband to light up while pretending to be on a conference call but really watching the cricket.

I do love period dramas as much for the costumes and sets as the plot line. Tune in to Upstairs Downstairs on the ABC, set in 1936 just before the war, there is lots to inspire.</span><br />

Everyone will know that my homeland is really struggling economically. One outcome of this is that some pretty special properties are coming on to the market (not always for happy reasons) but at least we get to have a peek inside. I read the Irish Times online and this is where I found this great Georgian house. My parents lived around the corner from this house in a flat in a similar Georgian building when they were first married. They had to move out when I was born as children weren't allowed ! I love the way the owners of this property have allowed the architecture to sing and their impressive looking art collection to do the rest. The funky kitchen and orange table work well for me too.
