faux bois




faux bois. a little bit fun. a little bit captain kk love. i may or may not have paid quite a pricey amount (damn the falling - who am i kidding - fallen - australian dollar and tricky etsy usd prices!) on my faux bois tree stump, door stop, but i do love it so. and what would the husband have to tease me about if my life was without it??
when i spotted this faux bois phone in the april real living mag (page 61) i almost fainted with desire! well perhaps that's a slight dramatisation, but when my eyes hit the page i immediately focused in on it like a hawk. not that i even have a home phone.. does anyone anymore? but jeepers it would look good on my desk.
my first faux bois purchase would have been the furni desk clock i bought for the husband from via alley a few years ago for christmas. he received a clock and i received a beautiful black rado watch that i treasure every time i wear it.. hmmm it was that christmas i realised i needed to step up my gift giving :)
(the gorgeous prints behind the desk clock in the photo are from the latest dinosaur designs catalogue)

hello monday


starting the day at 4:45am is early. very early. i needed to give myself a little pep talk to welcome the (cold + foggy) new day and this is it. of course by the time i've managed to post this, it's a magnificent autumn day. magnolia.

a good weekend.. the last hurrah for kingsley + the captain
hmm.. just remembered kingsley took the photos on her camera..
(i'll post the photos that go with this post soon)
saturday morning arrived and so kingsley, muppet & i took ourselves off to hear lucy from the fabulous design files talk about her life in the creative lane as part of the creative women's circle organised by tess mccabe. i have to say that being in a room full of talented + creative types gave me such a warm + fuzzy feeling :) it was so nice to meet lucy and tess and i think it inspired us all to get blogging.
i started this blog as a way to feel like i still have some creative output while i'm at home with mirka and i'm really enjoying it.. i took mirka down to one of my building sites last week in the baby bjorn.. it was sooo fantastic to be back on site and see the project come to life. so much of architecture is spent in the planning, re-planning, talking, drawing, laughing, crying, meeting, negotiating etc that it is a small miracle to see something get built.. especially something you really like and have put a lot of creative energy in to. my good friend jacq (another archi) once said to me "don't the clients realise that it's our building that they're moving into?" and it's so true!
