to keep or not to keep

So which planet friendly mock take away coffee cup to buy you may ask.

Well the two I am liking are the Keep Cup whose name and branding was designed by the Melbourne based design studio SouthSouthWest...

However I am liking MORE the lovely little numbers from Hook Turn Industries. They don't look as 'tupperware' as the Keep cup and I just adore the black and brown ones. So cute. Plus they are designed by the ever lovely Lucy from the Design Files' (www.thedesignfiles.net) mother! How awesome is her Mum!

Packaging

So I think while interiors are fun, time for a little design. And hey, packaging is sorta like homewares right?

and pretty red brick walls...

Mods Vs Rockers

So when we moved we found this super old haggered Union Jack flag that Mat's Auntie swapped with someone when she was in the navy. It is worn, faded, holy and I love it. It is also huge so I am nor sure what to do it with it. Thanks to Miss Viv Westwood, mods and punk there is something cool as fuck about old Union Jacks. I tried to find some inspiration on the net and found heaps of American flag reference which just looks patriotic and lame as hell. Sorry, these ref is pretty shiteola too.

I have a couple of red brick fireplaces at our new place and I think it could look cool hanging from the roof down. Man, I wish I had a huge warehouse with red brick walls, it would look amazing.

So here is my love of red brick and old flags. God save the Queen.

Lighting

I need my dream house so I can go nuts on beautiful lighting. I want a bubble style lights damn naggit.

The ever gorge Miss Sare bought me a Norm 69 light when she was last in Denmark and I think I am going to attempt to put it together this weekend. Apparently it is quite a challenge and by the look of the flat pack nightmare and lack of instructions it is going to be rather interesting. Oh hang on, I just googled it and found instructions on youtube, whoopah!

Rested frames...

Pretty mess

It goes against my grain and sometimes if you aren't too careful your space looks like a dusty mess however sometimes areas of chaos look awesome.

Something pretty for a Thursday morning

Just spied this little number on a Swedish design blog. Love the rug, love the simplicity and love love love the old architectural detailing. So effortless and contemporary. Beautiful.

Drool...

So fresh, so clean, so perfect.

New blog and look at me go. Last one for today but man, look at this house!

Contrast

I love turquoise and wood tones together. It official.

I still do love lime, white and beech. So fresh and calming.

Clusters of goodness

So in the new house I have too many pictures and not enough walls. Have been thinking of clustering it up for ages now. I do have a thing for symmetry so it is going against the grain a little but me likey...

Chairs

I love a designer chair and I already have way more than I really need.

Hint for next birthday anyone? Eames Rar Rocking Chair? Sure, I will take one in black or lime green. Thanks, your the best.
