shopping for a stylish overnight bag

i am suppose to be on a 6 months of no shopping diet. but i had to go overnight to a few places for work recently and didn't feel like taking a bag on wheels. so i raced to myer and go myself a fossil bag. i only have a small bag collection as i prefer quality over quantity. my collection includes fossil (as below), chloe, kenzo and jamin puech.



the above is the same as my jamin bag, yet it was in black and is unfortunately falling apart because the owner doesn't know how to look after her possessions.

this is my exact bag above.

books and bookshelves for a home library




i have always wanted a library for my picture books. i don't read much, but i love books on architecture, home wares, art deco, fashion and i have a huge collection of magazines. so who needs a guest bedroom, they can use the couch. i would rather devote a spare room to a library. my library certainly wouldn't be a quite space. it would probably be stained with red wine, have nine inch nails or a saint germain compilation engraved into the cd player from repeating it so often, and be littered with post it notes and decks of cards. i have started using cards to mark pages in magazines rather then post its, to avoid the sticky pages if anything.

white timber floors

it looks like i will stay in the current house for a few years, so i might as well go all out and paint the floors white. i have been debating over the saleability of a house in brisbane with white floors, yet after a few years, i can always send them and stain them again. at least i get to enjoy them in the meantime! polished timber floors are so boring. i am over the yellowish look!

quirky old style kitchen and other kitchen ideas for my cottage

so the trestles are going back today, yet the front isn't finished so it will take me a few more weekend with ladders etc. the next project to finish (as i have already started) is the kitchen. stripping back the rest of the vj's, painting it white, and then paining the cupboards. i am going to raise the kick board as well so the cupboards will be elevated as they are very low at the moment, and i get a sore neck if i try and prepare some dinner. i have been thinking of painting the cupboards black, yet i think i will go white. at least it is easier to paint black over white if i don't like it. if it was the other way around, i would have to strip back to bare timber again. too hard basket.  

below is some inspiration. i really like the shelves in the dining room. i am thinking about doing something similar in my dining room, yet that is a project for another year.

stainless steel and marble furniture

a few years ago i bought 10 chairs by magis called 'chair one'. in white as pictured below. i fell in love with the chairs from the moment i saw them. problem was, i wanted a marble and stainless steel table to have the chairs seated around. i googled, flipped through every interior magazine i could find, hit all the top furniture stores, yet i couldn't find a large enough table. i wanted a table that would allow 5 chairs on each side, plus arm room, plus a table wide enough that you could fit a place setting on either side, and heaps of bowls, serving platters etc in the middle. i hate being crammed at a table. 

the best table i could find would cost $15,000 and take a few months. there was no chance! i was not paying $15,000. so i googled a bit more and came across ajc metal and steel at northgate, brisbane. so i spoke to brett, took him some dimensions and they made me the table, dropped it to the marble company for the slab to be cut to size and around $2500 later, i had my table. 

then i moved house. a table with an unsecured slab of marble which ways over 550kgs is a little difficult thing to move. i had to hire a company called hector the erector in brisbane to crane it over the front fence, load it onto the truck and deliver it to my current house. it sits underneath in hiding. can't get it in the house. bumma. 

so i have decided i miss my marble and stainless steel. my solution.....side tables! they will weigh less.

kitchen ideas.....bars, black subway tiles, marble subway tiles and white stools




there are so many funky bars with great interior design ideas to borrow. one of my favorites to date is the pict i found on habachy designs.  it is the bar from the nightclub called aurum, in atlanta, georgia.


perhaps an all black kitchen.  hmmmm. i am not going to be able to sleep at all tonight.
