Cheap & chic planters.

Doesn’t Gwen Steffani look amazing? She does. But I’m focussing on the cool foliage backdrop. See the pretty basic planters used here? I reckon even I could knock up some of these beauties. A future project perhaps.

Light my fire.

I love this lighting solution by Benedikte Ugland as seen on Remodelista. Kitchen lighting is so important. I know this because mine isn’t great (there are times that I have to use my range hood light to see what I’m doing and make sure I don’t cut my fingers off).

It’s great to have an image of something like this, because trust me so many tradies can’t visualise new things. You have to show them.

Magic pictures.

OK, OK, I admit I’m not getting married anytime soon – I hear that you really need a groom to do that. But should I ever tie that knot this is what I’d be aiming for with my wedding. I think this couple and the photographer are amazing. Thanks go to Coco & Kelley for pointing out this great find.

The photographer is Jonas Peterson, he's based in Brisbane and it looks like he's up for travelling around Oz for work.

The wedding is at Penny's Hill winery in the McLaren Vale (South Australian) and the glamorous dress is by Jenny Packham.

I love that there are so many great shots here that you could frame and hang in your home and they don't look like lame, cookie cutter pictures of your won wedding. These are really interesting images that capture so much.

IKEA Hack helpers.

This via the amazing Remodelista, some clever Swedes are offering little legs to jazz up your IKEA purchases - they're called Prettypegs. Great idea and a lovely range, but if you are a true hacker you could maybe fashion something yourself for a lot less.

Definitely worth a look, but also take a trip to Bunnings before making any purchase.

I have to say that their website isn't that easy to move around, it all feels very protected like they don't want to make it too easy for you - case in point the image above. Please go to Remodelista if you're interested as they do a much better job of selling this pretty little peg legs.

A master's abode.

In the interests of recording the actual images somewhere and not just a link that can be taken down and unaccessible in the future, here are the images including floorplan from the NY city home of Mr Albert Hadley.

He died yesterday at the age of 91. I came to the Hadley party pretty late but still appreciate the beauty of what he created. RIP.

The apartment is located at 10 East 85th Street (so that I can check out the block if I ever get to NYC myself) and it is listed at $1,150,000.
