Holiday Project : Repurposed Jumper

 Can you spot the jumper?

hehe yes! and here's what I did..

But this one was just right...

Jona had the pleasure of playing on the set of the very talented Stylist, Vanessa Colyer Tay's photoshoot for kids chairs in Inside Out magazine Sept/Oct 2012 issue. He eventually settled in for a story on a yellow Acapulco kids chair. Good choice Jona! Here's more of these beauties -

And have you seen these chairs revealed at this years Salone del Mobile by Marni?  !!

 

Kleines Regal

We are engulfed by an ever expanding universe of toys that need some sort of housing station.. one of my favourite pastimes are projects like this. I had a little bookcase made up to size and although I'm a big fan of the natural, untreated timber look, our living room is a mixture of dark stained timber and white fabrications.. so I washed the outer casing of the shelves with diluted white acrylic paint so that the grain detail in the timber is still visible and painted the back panels in solid blocks of lemon, gold and sunset orange. The toy universe has come to a halt.. for now.

Koskela

Wow.. The new Koskela showroom in Rosebery is a ginormous goldmine. It is full of amazing surprises like crochet cacti, rainbow felt ball rugs, flat woven beauties, gorgeous product from Castle & Things.. the list goes on, you simply must go see it for yourself and gasp in its glory.
