Blog

What a dream come true! My living room/kitchen has been featured on The Room Illuminated blog. The lovely and talented Kate found Homely Creatures through the Pedestrian TV Blogster awards when we both came up as finalists. Kate got in touch when she saw that I lived and Melbourne and asked if I would like to have my living room photographed for her awesome blog which is all about taking a peak into the favourite rooms of every day people. Naturally I said yes.

What a treat to have a visit from Kate! Within minutes I felt like I had known her for years which is a neat quality to have when you make a habit of going around and photographing the inside of stranger's homes.

Kate has found a creative way to quench her curiosity for the stranger's abode at the same time as improving her photography skills. We can all benefit from this by following her blog which is fulling up with heart warming stories of rooms, furniture and families.

Here are some of Kate's lovely shots of my open plan lounge/kitchen and you can check out the whole story here on The Room Illuminated.

 







If you live in Melbourne and know someone who has an interesting room full of memories and stories, get in touch with Kate.

As I patiently await to see what house we will end up living in, I spend hours online creating a wish list for furniture and homewares to full it with. Perhaps one of the most important pieces, I have put a lot of thought into what couch I would want. The colour, size and comfort of the couch need to be considered but also the look, and how versatile this look is to be a backdrop for my ever changing taste in colours and décor style. One inspirational image I keep on going back to and drooling over is this interior with a grey couch with pink and black added for a homely but still chic look. I included it in my blog article talking about my requirements while 'Searching for my Dream Home.' Photographed by the Klein for Alt Interiors Magazine, the gorgeous Major Sofa has been used in the same room to create three different looks. The sofa is not sold in Australia to my knowledge, but even if it was, it's so far out of my budget that I could only justify buying it if I could also live in it and it washed my dishes for me. So I'll do my best to find a more affordable compromise. Although I do like the busy walls and gold lamp of the last room, and am spotting a 'smoky greys' trend in the second image that I really like, the first room is my definite favourite. What's yours?
