I first caught sight of these lotus flower lamp shades at Rovan at the Melbourne Gift Fair a couple of years ago.  They are a product that I keep finding myself getting drawn back to.  This year, I also saw a few of the hanging chandeliers like the one you can find at Pomegranate in South Melbourne.  This chandelier has a more sophisticated look whilst still incorporating the whimsical nature of the lotus flower.  If you are looking to inject some femininity into your interior scheme and create interest, lotus flower lights might just be the thing you are looking for.  The hanging lotus light from Missi Missi could be perfect for a little girls' room.  I like that it is still subtle, being white, yet creates interest with shape and form.

What's news at school

This is the latest mood board that I have completed for school.  I am loving this subject as we are learning about the design elements and principles at the moment and I am finding the work very interesting and useful.  For the above mood board, we had to select an image that we liked and then create a board based on this image.  My image was the central image of the tea cups and I have created a board with a modern sophisticated feeling, such as you would find in an luxury hotel or home.  Whilst the colours and many of the accent shapes are feminine, the straight lines of the chair are masculine and suggest formality.  We have another assignment due next week so more pictures to follow.

White Never Looked So Good

This amazing home showcases just how fabulous white can be.  Interior designer Victoria Hagan has combined  layers of texture and subtle colours with warming wood accents to create a sophisticated interior.  This is a perfect example of contemporary design that will stand the test of time.  I wish this was my home, especially with that backyard!  I seriously can not resist a rectangular pool.  This home is perfection, inside and out.
