Industrial finds on Etsy . . . . .
If you were admiring Sophie's industrial jar light fitting on 'The Block' check out these ultra cool light fittings from Boots N Gus. Am in love with these pipe bookshelves from Stella Bleu Designs and these upcycled vintage fittings from Hibernation Restoration would look great in my dream warehouse apartment. Just calculating the shipping costs now . . .

'The Block' redo
After watching 'The Block' Elimination challenges I couldn't help but think about my room ideas based around that Fenton & Fenton chair. Although the chair is gorgeous it's not really my style, so I wondered how I could mix it up and add some red to make it more me.
The result is below, A bedroom based on warm grey hues of the central chair, with mustard yellow, off white, woodgrain and of course highlights of red in an eclectic style of my own.

The Block: Sophie & Dale's vintage styling
If you have been watching the Australian renovation tv series 'The Block' you may be slightly disappointed in the calibre of interior styling this season. Apart from Dale & Sophie's creative vintage style the rest of the couples houses are in desperate need of some soul & individuality!
('The Block' is a competitive reality tv series in which 4 couples are given 4 houses to renovate. The series ends with a finale auction, the winner is the team that sells their house for the highest price above the reserve price.)
Seen below are Dale & Sophie's Elimination Challenge Children's bedroom & the key chair which was the starting point for the room, as well as a few unique details from their latest room reveals.

a little red love
My love of glossy red things is unparallelled, add an industrial edge and I am in heaven. A close source tells me that I even shop for red things in my sleep! A touch of red in a neutral greyscale interior can really make a statement.

2 Broke Girls Apartment
Secretly loving the tv series '2 Broke Girls' at the moment, possibly because I am quite jealous of their cool warehouse style loft apartment in Brooklyn. Filled with vintage and industrial pieces in a messy eclectic style, their apartment would suit me perfectly.
