All-weather outdoor chairs + eco friendly + recycled

Adirondacks (emphasis on the second syllable)
Multi-tasking, all-weather beauties, that reduce landfill! (emphasis on landfill)
Chris from Polywood Outdoors kindly delivered these classics for our Home Beautiful shoot. Of course I fell totally in lust and have placed my Christmas order as not only are they beautiful but they're completely weatherproof, eco friendly and made from recycled materials. Rain, hail or shine they still look good while giving landfill a nudge.

Have a look at The Porch as well, for more of Chris' fabulous outdoor furniture + decor.

The French Collection, Olinda

 

Metisse is a sweet vintage homewares store in the village of Olinda specialising in gorgeous French collectables. The owner, Vicki Growse sources her products on an anuual trip to France, lucky her!
My favourite pieces are the tree branch coathangers and the long, elegant cobweb dusters- the smaller dusters are perfect for cleaning keyboards as the bristles are super fine. 

The olive & pip bowls are a great gift idea and come in a larger size for olive oil + dukkah....J'ai faim!

Macrame

what's the big idea?
Macrame never looked this good, Sarah Parkes of Smalltown, in Melbourne creates the most beautiful hanging installations for plants & lights. She confided that her daughters name is South and that she too was beautiful...To see more of her beautiful creations, aside from South go to..

Montobello Styling

Classic black, charcoal & white trim

white on white & neutrals

striking print for a warm welcome

neutrals & spice

my favourite mix of colours, pattern & texture

The girls at Montobello Emporium have created another fresh & fragrant home using a heady mix of fabrics and patterns. Neutrals come to life with a spicy collection of ethnic patterns, florals, liberty style prints and a touch of wildlife.

I love their shop on Whitehorse rd, Balwyn...the antique armchairs covered in Kathryn Ireland fabrics, sourced through Tigger Hall, Armadale are especially fab...more on Tigger's fabric range later!
