INDUSTRIAL, RUSTIC GREY, WHITE AND BLACK


Grey, white and black can be complimented with warm colours as this wall has allowed the wonderful caramel colour to show through thus allowing interest,depth and texture creating a warm atmosphere.




Natural wood in the stool, warm's up this otherwise cool colour palette.



Browns and black portray a classy environment while allowing warmth and texture to provide a relaxed rrom.


What unique idea using gaibein walls as as a separate garden room


Texture and history






Have you watched the Australian TV series Offspring if not give it a go, Nina is the main character, this is her lounge room and below the bedroom. the show is set around inner suburb of  Melbourne and the life and times ups and downs of the Proudman family.





Look at the memoir of this little corner I hope it keeps its rustic history and not be pulled down for a 21st century sterile building.

White, Grey and Black

This week I am looking at the hip colours of white, grey and black I have included some random images that could be shot from the same building, you will not be surprised to see concrete in this blog. 















 The floor could be painted  yellow tongue, in Australia is a reasonably priced flooring, I predict it was under-painted with a dark colour  and then white was painted over, the walking has given the floor a textured aded appearance.



 A view into the history of the building with an exposed section of the wall left not plastered.


This minimalist composition is a sublime, work of art no need of art, this is art? So lets ask the old age question what is art??????????








This staircase has inspired me to paint my front concrete stairs grey, I hope they will look as good as these. Blackboard behind the lounge, draws out the green of the sofa, where it would sink back into the room.





Lovely layers have you noticed frills are everywhere, I love this, romantic vintage.



concrete concrete


LOVE  LOVE LOVE







I love an unmade bed the layers  and the creasers make me want to jump in, the white lockers would look great in my family room.







I am going to make this light shade.

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.
