Rubie Green Intern

Some very lucky person is going to have so much fun as a Rubie Green Intern in New York. I wish it was me.

Colour Love

Vintage Poster Love

I love love love this poster, I had originally seen it about 3 years ago in New York and didn't buy it, and I have just found it again at the amazing www.galeriemontmartre.com but my husband doesn't get it, so I am trying to convince him. Yes it is big, yes it is bold but it talks to me. Wish me luck.

Yellow Kitchen Love

My girlfriend is looking to put splashes of yellow into their kitchen and I instantly remembered these photos which have a fairly neutral white kitchen and then that amazing yellow stove which sets the mood for the paintings. Love such bold use of colour.


Alternatively here are a few more subdued options

I love ...

I am loving Stephanie Conley's apartment in this month's Vogue Living, the colour, fabrics and sophistication of it make me want more than what is on the pages. I would love to sit in the chairs, see the kitchen (fancy not including it), and have a cocktail on the balcony.

Whilst I am not a lover of orange this combination could turn me, all the fabrics are beautiful, and make such a statement. I can see this in my friend Allana's bedroom.
Perfect outdoor furniture, and beautiful fabric. Good on you Coco Republic, another thing to add to my wish list.

This is the perfect kitchen dining area for me, I love the table, chairs and the fun Audrey poster. Those chairs might not be the best for the kids in my life but we can't have it all.


She is beautiful as well, figures.
Ohhhh, need I say more.
And the cover picture, what a great combination. So much inspiration.

New Look

I decided a needed a chair in my heading, so this is my favourite chair which I bought at a New York Flea Market in the upper west side. It was one of those things that you see and don't buy but then can't stop thinking about. The next couple of weeks it was raining so the markets were cancelled, I eventually went back bright and early and it was still there much to my delight. My husband started trying to bargain but I said 'I will take it' as soon as another lady started showing interest, he wasn't very impressed.

This is another chair love from the Sydney Morning Herald a couple of weeks ago. The chairs were found in an antique shop in Annandale (just down the road) but covered in my favourite Trellis fabric. I am not a lover of orange but I do love this combination.

She is about to pop...

Jill (my beautiful sister in law) went to a baby shower recently and sent me these photos, what a gorgeous event, so much care and thought went into the detail. Nice to see red used for a baby shower instead of the traditional pink and blue.



Bentwood Beauty


I haven't even been to Rafan Kelaher and Thomas yet this weekend and already I can't wait to look at this Bentwood Hall stand. I can just imagine it looking beautiful with a gorgeous wallpaper behind it like in Shannon Fricke beautiful Byron Bay home and her beautiful bentwood chair.
