the weekend..

via design sponge

JD has been sick, so most of the weekend I've been chilling out with my little brother. He kindly updated my neglected ipod. I dragged him op shopping (an extra set of hands to help carry the loot) in exchange for a driving lesson. I wonder how many grey hairs have propped up...

I visited my mama, and for lunch was a delicious duck curry. She let me dig up some succulents from her garden.

I finished up a lazy Sunday over at a friends making Syrian chicken as we hatched plans for a small holiday for her birthday.

Beautiful black and a little hint of industria, I'm loving these handsomely masculine kitchens.

interior love

Once a carpenters workshop, now a converted warehouse home. Such generous light filled windows, and a wonderful mix of reclaimed furniture. More lovely images here.

typography love

A new addition to my growing collection of letters. This one is made of metal and was quite well price considering most industrial stores would have charged triple for it. I also bought a big letter U, yet I'm still to decide where to put it. I think this love is spiraling dangerously out of control.

industrial work benches

I have wanted a industrial work bench for so long.. I came across this one on the weekend.

At the same store was a truly lovely antique tolix chair... sigh...

factory enamel lights

I've been eying off these grey industrial factory lights on ebay, although let it slip through my fingers because realistically I don't have the right space for it. I already have a green one which I may use in our study. I discovered more vintage lighting on Skinflint Design UK.

cabbage flowers

So I ended up getting the Jorun rug from Ikea yesterday. Currently having a play around with it in the lounge room.. Still unsure, it may be too matchy matchy with the sofa, but I like the pattern.

On the way home I stopped past the flower wholesaler and bought these awesome cabbage flowers. I probably should have attempted a more artful display but gave up.

Yay! The metal frame for our coffee table has been completed and is being dropped off this week. Remember I was ranting on about it back in April, I'll take a pic on the weekend of its new steel legs.

interior love: mart 130

A cute little cafe located at Middle Parks tram stop. Mart, tram spelt backwards.. Always busy however if you don't mind the wait the food is delicious. How cute is the old school styling? Right up my alley!

I considered it as a possible venue for our engagement party back in February, as they offer private function hire. However the old lawn bowls club won over due to its size for our large extended families and handy so little ones could run amuck. Perhaps, an idea for an upcoming 30th?

Images are via Breakfast Out, a fabulous website which lists Melbourne best breakfast haunts. Go have perve if not for the interior photography, but for drool worthy food styling.

Pallet day beds

The last is Ashley Campbell's - Inspired by Pia Jane Bijkerks Parisian bedroom featured on Apartment Therapy, Ashley made a pallet day bed for her baby girl's nursery.

Isn't it lovely? Oh, where to begin... I love the family portraits in vintage frames, the confectionary colored paper lanterns & tissue pom poms, the patterned cushions, patchwork quilt, wall art and the other talented and seriously cute handmade gifts from family members. Have a look at the rest of the room here on her blog, it is absolutely gorgeous!
