We attached this bird to our pulley switch for the light near the bookcase. Found him in a toy shop in Annandale for a couple of bucks. He already had a loop attached to his back that we could attach to the string. Such a cute blue wren.
Einstein lives on top of our intercom. I love the way the cables have been painted white but only half way, then the original yellowed cables connect to the receiver. We thought about painting the intercom receiver red, but I really like it in its original state. Einstein is holding a piece of chalk. Almost like hes gone and whitened everything around him with it.
We received this beautiful driftwood candelabra as a gift from Petes brother at Christmas. The candles have a vanilla/caramel fragrance. This sits above our bed on the Besta Burs. Nest to this I have two cigar boxes that hold my special shiny things. The top box I scabbed from work.
I also was lucky enough to get these empty Penfolds Grange boxes from work. They hold all the delicious wines and spirits that we have collected over time (of course always evolving). I am trying to gain access to a third box from work for all the overflow that I can no longer fit.
This spice rack from IKEA hold our tea instead. The white cafeteria was a Christmas present from my cousin from Italy (so it is italiano authentica), and has a matt white finish on it. Bellissimo. The loveley green teapot was from my brother and his partner. They know I have a bit of an obsession with tea. I could happlily fill another rack with the rest of our collection!
Meet Paul Palmer. He doesn't like the sun. We inherited him from our friends A&D who moved to Perth recently. Toto the Bunny had a good gnaw at him when we looked away for one second and now he is on the road to recovery. Thanks to the new floor we just installed, Toto treats it like acid and refuses to walk on it. Us-1. Bunny-Nil.
Easy access Olis and Salt n Pepper next to our cooktop. Anyone that has a minimalist kitchen with mirrored splash-backs (OK so I have a thing against mirrored splash-backs) mustn't cook much..
Jen bought us back this beautiful hand stitched lobster from her travels abroad. I teamed it with some autumn leaf corduroy and made a pillow out of it. It used to have an orange tassel, but again, destructor ahoy. How awesome are lobsters? They're waaay cooler than deer and bears and pandas and owls and kittens.
Our gallery above our bed is a work in progress. Not happy quite yet with this layout. We use these stick on velcro like adhesive pads to hold up the frames so no holes in the wall!
We have here a lab partners goco print, a heart screenprint on canvas and a Twiggy print that was a lovley gift from a lovely friend.
A table runner from Jens travels. Love this salmon colour. A hand made fox mug from the market in Brooklyn. Some pretty lillies. The piece de resistance, the Denon. Looks like a bit of a Denon Shrine with all this stuff going on around it. A couple of weeks ago this picture fell of the wall. Yes we used the sticky stuff to attach it instead of nails or screws, but I blame it on the fresh painted walls and the insane amount of humidity of late. It broke the power-point. The worst things to fix are those that have just been fixed, arrrh!
