Save the date for the first 7 Vignettes Meetup with Belle’s Steve Cordony and BoConcept

The BoConcept showroom, where the event is taking place

I’m so excited! Only seems a couple of weeks ago (probably because it was) that a few members of our 7 Vignettes Instagram community asked if we could perhaps have a meet up. Like, in real life. And now, I’m delighted to announce it’s happening on Friday 23 August.

Judging by the buzz and the sense of the community we have online, I can only imagine how fun it might be to meet some of you in person! What’s more, Belle’s interior designer editor, the hugely talented stylist Steve Cordony, will be doing a demonstration on how to style vignettes. Learn from the master!

This is all made possible thanks to our friends at Danish furniture store BoConcept and the event is taking place at its stunning Crows Nest showroom in Sydney, with support from Belle. On the night there’ll be food and drink, fabulous goodie bags, and a live styling competition, which you can choose to take part in.

The winner of 7 Vignettes July is…

Erika Rax!

It’s always tough, but this month’s judge, Kate Reeves Robertson from The Story of Us, chose @erikarax as our sixth 7 Vignettes champion.

“It was a gorgeous week of sublime hues, fab framing and organised chaos, but it was the elegantly restrained frames by Erika that caught my eye and inspired my imagination every day,” said Kate. “Clean, refined and simply beautiful.”

I loved the simplicity of Erika’s pictures too, and discovering her lovely blog was an added bonus.

Congratulations, Erika! You get to work with Kate to create your own custom stationery set. I have to admit, I’m jealous!

July 7 Vignettes: Jen’s birthday edition!

7 Vignettes is just a week away! Yay! It starts on 1 July, which just happens to be my birthday, so let’s make it one big instagram party! Our judge and sponsor this month is Kate Reeves Robertson from The Story of Us, who make amazing stationery and wedding invites. They happen to have just done mine and Damian’s and we could not love them any more! (I can’t show you them just yet as some are winging their way to England and I don’t want to spoil the surprise for our guests).

Anyway, the winner of this month’s challenge gets a brilliant prize: their own custom stationery set, designed from scratch (they don’t do templates!) by Kate herself. If, like me, you believe in the power of the handwritten note, the ‘just because’ note, the ‘I think you’re awesome’ note and the thank you note, you’re going to love this! Kate’s work is really special and often includes elements of handwritten calligraphy combined with her graphic design.

Kate is a big fan of 7 Vignettes and the top photo above is one of her own previous entries. She is very excited to be judging next month!

The winner of 7 Vignettes June is…

Eatlivelaugh!

Here’s Shantel Ross’s gorgeous entry for the gold theme:

eatlivelaugh goldGuest judge Suzie Atkin, of Urban Road, had a hard job deciding. Good job it was long weekend! “I was blown away by all of the amazing entries and just thrilled to see so much talent, it was a visual feast! I found it very difficult to select just one winner but there was something about the vignettes of eatlivelaugh that I just adore. So creative and visually just stunning, I love each and every entry. They all work together beautifully and the rustic vintage feel they have is divine.”

Suzie and I both loved her gold entries (of which there were 3!) the best. In fact, that was my favourite day of this month’s challenge. So many sparkly, glamorous images! Which was your favourite theme of the week?

The 7 Vignettes May winners!

Every month since we started in January, 7 Vignettes, the Interiors Addict Instagram photo challenge, gets bigger and better and with its amazing community.

This month, we partnered with Melbourne store The Woodsfolk to offer a prize a day plus one overall prize. The overall winner this month, as judged by Amber Clohesy of The Woodsfolk, is boiledeggandsoldiers. Well deserved, as you can see by her entries:

OVERALL WINNER 7 vignettes

“Her entries were consistently fantastic,” says Amber. “I’m really drawn to flat lay and her composition was really thoughtful. The chalkboard background gave them a really distinctive look, I knew who they belonged to even from the thumbnails. The objects used were really varied and I loved the different interpretations of each theme. If I had to pick a favourite from all her entries it was day 2.”

The winner for day 1 (hanging) was idknowhowshedoesit:

DAY 1 7 vignettes

Amber said: “The image was so rich with the contrast of timber and greenery. The simple take on hanging herbs made it my day 1 favourite.”

Not one but three winners for 7 Vignettes April

It’s always really tough to pick a winner of 7 Vignettes, so when we had two $200 vouchers this month it seemed a good idea to have two prizes: one for best overall and one for standout single vignette. Luckily the tough judging job went to Louise Olsen of Dinosaur Designs, not me! But then she decided to award a third special mention too!

The overall winner is @mollysmaison. These are my favourites of hers:

The standout single vignette prize went to @loumasters for this beauty:

Kids get creative with 7 Vignettes

As if 7 Vignettes wasn’t already enough of a feel-good, creative share-fest, it’s now started attracting the younger generation too! This month I noticed two young participants in particular: 9 year-old ‘India Kitty’ and ’13 Year Old Vignetter’ (real name Radha) who created her account especially for the photo challenge!

7 vignettes

Simone Patterson, Radha’s mum, said: “There was instant curiosity when she saw me pulling the place apart and building vignettes. I showed her the hashtag on Instagram and that was it, she was off on a vignette frenzy! She enjoyed the creative process, but she especially enjoyed seeing all the likes and lovely comments from other vignetters, and says it made her feel ‘awesome’.

“She loved watching all the other vignettes getting uploaded throughout the day and seeing all the different styles. I was more than happy for her to take part because, as an interiors addict myself, it was a joy to watch Radha get so engrossed in the process of developing her own style and expressing her individuality and creativity in this way.”

The winner of 7 Vignettes March is…

Dee! (aka Pictured Thoughts on Instagram).

Guest judge Darren Palmer and I were equally impressed with her consistent effort throughout the entire week (never mind the outtakes which have continued to be posted as extras ever since!). This is why she won…

White

CirclesIt was such a tricky choice this month with so many stunning entries! I think even Darren might agree it was tougher than judging a room on The Block! But we both feel pretty confident we picked the right person. Darren, who said the quality of everyone’s work was inspiring, added: “Dee definitely had the most vignettes I liked over the week. Great work all round and there were many entries in my shortlist. I was so happy to see such great style and skill out there!”

Kara Rosenlund

If you took part in the very first 7 Vignettes, my monthly Instagram photo/styling challenge, you’ll remember the lovely Kara Rosenlund was the guest judge. As well as being very generous with her comments and advice on participants’ efforts, we also saw how AMAZING she is at styling vignettes in her home with the most ordinary of objects (sometimes even chooks!).
