On my (eventual) shopping list.

Along with really cool textiles, I also have a bit of a thing for cool chairs. Probably more so actually. I plan to buy some from http://www.replicafurniture.com.au or http://www.mattblatt.com.au when I finish uni and have the money. Most likely from Matt Blatt.

Replica Emeco 'US Navy' Aluminium Chair. These are in one of the kitchen pictures from a few posts ago...and the Grill'd at Chermside has them. Will need more than one...and I'm not entirely sure what I will use them for yet ;)

Replica Harry Bertoia Side Chair. My highest priority. Will have the black cushion and will possibly be dining chairs (after my DIY upholstered ones die, I get sick of them or I don't want to wait any longer to have these ones). These are on sale at Matt Blatt at the moment and I'm super tempted to buy one.

Top: The Barcelona Chair. Obviously. Designed by Mies Van Der Rohe for the King and Queen of Spain. Low priority, partially due to price.

Bottom: Replica Eames DSW Side Chair. Mine will be white.

P.S. http://www.replicafurniture.com.au also has the arc floor lamp in SILVER...and with the proper, super heavy base.

P.P.S. Bit random, but I really want to find a picture of Tony Stark's kitchen from Iron Man - I love it.

Bit of a pattern.

These are some bookmarks I had saved on my computer...I think they're a little bit similar (maybe just in their uniqueness?), so figured they can all go in one post. I didn't actually have the third picture  - by Johanna Johnson - bookmarked...that is just stuck in my head becuase the label is a.w.e.s.o.m.e.

This is from the White Owl store on etsy. Lots of similarly cool stuff.

Love, Taza. An online store with some very cool headbands. Found it when some of the profits (or maybe it was all, I can't really remember) were going to the people in Haiti.

Can't wait.

Can't wait until I can buy a house and renovate it :) Might be a while away but I can look at pretty, inspiring pictures like these until then. These images are from the Home Beautiful website - I will scan in some super cool pictures from RealLiving magazine when I get past the damn assignments and exam.

On my 'to do' list.

These are 'Cake Pops' from the Bakerella website. I have been looking for an excuse to make these for a while, but decided that I'm going to make them just for something to do over the uni holidays. They are the coolest idea! And the website has a lot of other yummy looking stuff too - I made some chocolate mascarpone brownies a few months ago.

Red velvet cake pops.

Pika! I love these too, but I will stick to the cake pops :)

Unchewed, thanks.

Do you ever see things and think 'God, I wish I thought of that!' Well I do and this is one of those things. I found these on The Design Files blog - which is full of awesome stuff. These penlid necklaces are handmade by Melbourne jewellery label Chewed By Tuesday. They're sterling silver and you get to choose if you want your penlid chewed or unchewed...and they cost about 500 times more than the a blue plastic pen lid. These are sooo much cooler though ;)

Textile Love

I have a bit of an obsession / infatuation with really cool textiles...amongst other things. Ink & Spindle is a boutique screen printing studio in Melbourne that makes some awesome ones...I need to find an excuse to buy some. I'm also really keen to get some screen printing equipment to give it a go myself! If my family bothers to read my blog, they won't need to ask what I want when my birthday comes around. hint hint.

CB2. Very cool online store.

If my bank balance allowed, I probably would have already ordered half of the stuff on this online store.  There's some amazing stuff and it's all well priced. One of it's partner companies is The Land of Nod - which I thought was cool, becuase the guy who designed the Nod logo - Michael Malbry - spoke at the agIdeas conference.

I need to own one of these Bauhaus arc floor lamps one day! Don't know if it mine will be green....but this one is only $199.00!

This dinnerware is very similar to what I bought at Target recently - on sale for like 80c a piece! But my plates are round, and the bowls, small plates and dinner plates are different colours. Best bargain.
