I have wrapped up a few jobs this week that have carried over from last year and somehow I’ve managed to NOT take on too much work like I usually do just before I go on holidays… Infact I haven’t taken on much at all this year which is good as I am still working away at a little side project that’s about to get big, as well as my own renos which never seem to end. Plus I am back to Bali again this week for 7 days of bliss in paradise, yeah that will be hard to take.

I must finally be learning from my own mistakes when it comes to taking on projects and not being able to say no to jobs, or maybe I am just balancing my workloads a little better. I’m sure this quote is what inspired me to constantly bite off too much and then choke, that or plain greed perhaps.

Anyway, this is what I’ve been reading and looking at, you know…design wise.

A slick modern home in Montreal with splashes of hot orange against a classic black, white and timber backdrop.

An artist called Sally King Benedict’s home (below) , and you can see her gorgeous artwork here.

Some inspiring Terrace home reno’s worth a look here.  AND looky here my all time favourite Scandanavian apartment which I have featured bits of countless times but I still can’t get enough of. Love love love it and I don’t care if you are sick of it cos I think its beaut.

I learnt about the work of a guy whose name I can’t pronounce Sergey the Russian Designer, he does some lovely work as demonstrated below.

I have a few other bits and pieces to share… some new products by Didier that I am excited about …

I also had some renovation update pics that I wanted to post about but it’s the weekend….and it’s been a big one for me so I haven’t got around to actually uploading the images from my phone yet soooo I will come back to all of this later when I am feeling more inspired and don’t have a glass of rose in front of me and a vegetable au gratin in the oven. Happy sunday to you! x
