on the birthday wishlist

all i want for my birthday is every eames chair ever designed. the originals, not replicas. i don't ask for much. i'm content with the simple things.

lets just start with the La Chaise by Charles and Ray Eames from 1948

d-bodhi recycled furniture.... perfect for that aged look to mix with my white floors

after seeing more of lee brennan's work, i was inspired to find some more recycled or reclaimed timber furniture. one of the first sites i landed on was d-bodhi.

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.

white denim couch covers

 

i have 2 red natuzzi couches which i love as they are soooo comfortable, yet i am over the red. we all know i like all white interiors yet my little dog, pj, has a habit of wiping his face along the bottom of the couches after he has had a meal or when he has an itch. he knows when i am watching so when i leave the room or look away, off the little rat goes just to spite me. i can't bare to banish him from the indoors, so i have to be careful with my choice of new upholstery fabric. if i do go white, perhaps white denim slip covers will solve my problems? at least this way i can nappy san them or have them drycleaned.

provincial home living

i opened the latest edition of australian country style this morning stopped instantly on page 5. the advert for provincial home living caught my eye as i love the block book case. it is exactly what i want, but i dont want to buy one, i want to build one. wish me luck. i also have a hall table which looks simular to the desk. if i build the hutch bit to go overtop, it will be perfect. might need to buy a router. back to ebay i go.

fantastic white

This furniture is adorable. I love the cutouts. I am trying to draw something up at the moment to cut out with a jigsaw. Might as well give it a go.
