Weddings

I had the pleasure to be a guest at Leah and Andrew's Wedding, a divine garden wedding celebrated in the historical village of Bangalow just 20mins from the seaside town of Byron Bay you will find both this eclectic towns in Northern NSW Australia.
Leah with the help of her mother Janet co-ordinated and designed the wedding, with her brilliant organisational skills and sublime good taste, is the integral ingredient, to the success of this magnificent vintage inspired wedding.

As all brides Leah looked exquisite in a classic unadulterated wedding dress, the bridesmaids each had individual designed dresses as well as, they were given the opportunity to choose their dress, thus they both looked relaxed and beautiful without having to wear something they would not normally wear.   

Janet had been collecting vintage teacups so she with the help of her mother in law Nell and secondhand shops and market stalls, she was in a position to supply this eclectic collection perfect for a vintage wedding.

White tables set at the entrance to the venue, again a stunning vintage collection of silver, class and crystal.

Leah and Janet again trawled secondhand shops and this beautiful collection of vintage glass and crystal resulting once-more in poetic vignette. Leah's was arranging the flowers the eveing before the wedding and very early the wedding day while Janet's handmade candles include another texter or layer in the composition..

 Janet made all the candles from soy wax.

Petals to throw on the Bide and Groom were elegantly displayed again by Leah and once-more these artistic, {while not ostentatious} adeptness, contributed to the success of this beautiful spring wedding.

Black, White and Grey

White, Grey & Black

This week I'm using random shots to emphasise the colours of white, grey and black with the hope of giving you some ideas for your own decorating inspiration. These colours are hot in design right now, they can be used in a contemporary, industrial, beach to name a few with a dash of pink, turquoise, or yellow all trendy for hip decorating whether interior or exterior.

I have not blogged this week as I have had a weekend in the trendy town of Bangalow in Northern NSW Australia, I had the pleasure of attending a lovely garden vintage wedding. I will blog some of the photos of this stunning wedding, the weather was a perfect spring day. I also had a creative time making wedding sign and a vintage window into a menu board, so one thousand apologises.

 This staircase is poetic

Again I have added a natural concrete wall which has been stripped back whilst leaving remnants of the past history of previous paint, thus adds romance to the history of the building this is an excellent example of the inclusion of grey, black and white.

Painting a floor is a economical way of giving an immediate style statement and as it is walked on, the floor will get a used patina that will give interest and layers.

layers of  warm white and light grey add a coziness to an otherwise cold room.

Black adds depth to this lovely composition look at the very light use of yellow to stimulate the colour scheme.

I am in love with this dinning room well balanced with the long table juxtaposed against the height of the ceiling, ladder and train sign, also the use of complementary colours yellow and blue adds a little excitment to the room.

Luxurious and forbidden this room portrays to me" as this is just a small part of the room it would need to be a very large room with a high ceiling as not to feel overwhelming.

Blackboard paint is everywhere, as it sits very well with the industrial look I have added some pictures to give you an idea of where to use the paint. Upcyling is also big so I have given you a few incentive shots you can apply at your house, for example the wooden cable role used as a table, the magnificent chevie seat hope you enjoy, don't forget to link back to kazzstlye.

Today I'm featuring a house in Mexico, this is what I would call a Post Modern Adobe style, it still has the square adobe shape with the moorish influence from Spain such as the tiles and the arch. I am not a big fan of Post Modernism but this is a tasteful example of appropriation from traditional Mexican Adobe to a 21st century adobe which I still believe fits into the industrial theme I am covering this week.

TURQUOISE, ORANGE & GREY 

This building has mostly a square shape walls, windows, pavers and roof line this places the clever  use of a round port hole window in total contrast, this perspective  shows how geometrical shapes influence the overall appearance of the building and without this window it would lack interest and thus gives the house balance. The use of the circle features subtly throughout this amazing architecturally designed house.

Again the use of circles to balance out the square lines such as the tiles bookshelf doors etc

Industrial and loft style is the subject Im covering for this first week of spring or fall in the northern hemisphere a lovely time to be out searching for treasures. Today I have posted a random collection of industrial style interiors and exteriors, so as to give you an idea of what to look for and how to integrate them into your home.

Black Is The New Black

Another example of a mono-cromatic colour scheme with the wood intensifying warmth and texture, which would otherwise give a cold atmosphere to the room.

An old door used as a desk if you want a flat top, use a piece of glass you can then lay photos underneath or a calendar. I often see glass off-cuts at my junk shop.

A vinget of wood plastic and glass creates a lovely composition for outside or inside

Wooden boxes are becoming hard to find here in Australia so if you find them best to keep them. This look could be achieved with the use of milk crates all the same colour experiment, send me a photo of what you come up with.

These old tool boxes are still easy to find at junk shops

I love everything about this bathroom, why do we have to cover out walls with sheets of plaster?
Imagine this magnificent wall covered with one dimensional  plasterboard it would not have the character and warmth it has now and the history of the wall would be covered shame.

Check out the line painting horizontally around the wall in the similar colour as the skirts and the window this connects everthing giving the study a calm atmosphere. I find the large industrial spotlights are very hard to find,though this desk again could be made from a old door which are still available at some junk shops or on council verge pickups.

Mono-cromatic with a touch of wood see top photo.
