Loving Geometric!

I have managed to go at least 2 years without being sucked into the vortex that is The Block. Normally I like a bit of “realism” with my reality TV opting for shows more along the lines of Selling Houses or Grand Designs but with the series going “sky high” this year - resistance was futile. As of last sunday I am officially a block-head! The Foxtel has been series linked to record every minute of air time and I have selected my favourites. John and Trixie from QLD! Not just because of they are from Queensland (although I am sure that’s why they are so lovely), nor because they won the penthouse but because I just love their approach to the show as much as I love Trixie’s taste!

The hotel room suite they deliver for the first challenge was inspired! Loved the colours, loved the styling and loved, loved, loved the geometric print on the bed.

Normally I tend to stick with the more feminine patterns but how they used a bold geometric print here has been inspiring! Breaking it up with blocks of colours - neutral, pastels and neon – just makes it work beautifully! I am feeling brave enough to try and integrate into our house. Here is some further inspiration to help you feel brave too! Tunns xoxo

West Elm in Aus!!

I have just taken up residence on the couch for the evening with my spanking new June edition of Real Living, only to jump back up again in pure delight after reading that West Elm (a long time favourite site for drooling and pinning) is coming to Aus! Yay!!!! Although the first bricks and mortar store will open in Bondi (boo – people exist outside of Sydney you know!!), there is also an Australian based website! Check it out www.westelm.com.au. But I would be quick if I were you – I am firing up the iPad with my left hand as a type with my right!
