The winner of 7 Vignettes May with Interiors Addict Shop

The winner of this month’s 7 Vignettes is Angela Steyn for this beautiful collection of images. She wins a selection of goodies from Interiors Addict Shop.

Guest judge Naomi Findlay, who runs Silk Home and the International Institute of Home Staging and is my partner in the online store, loved Angela’s images and how they included the gorgeous little hands of her sons! They also worked so well together as a seven.

Angela previously won 7 Vignettes in July last year and is one of four people who have won twice over the 29 challenges so far.

Angela, please contact us with your address so we can send you your prizes!

If you’re new to 7 Vignettes, find out how to take part next month here. If you have any questions, please write them in the comments below and we’ll get back to you.

Naomi’s International Institute of Home Staging (IIHS) and the American Home Staging and Redesign Association (HSRA) are teaming up to host a home staging summit in Sydney in July. If this is a career which interests you, find out more and book your ticket here.

Homedrawn: the girl illustrating the homewares she covets!

With expensive taste (but maybe not the budget to match!), Christina Banos began drawing all the beautiful decorating pieces and furniture she envisioned for her home.

As a graphic designer for Real Living, there was far from a lack of stimulus, and she began using all her spare time to bring everything from textiles to appliances, to life. “I find pieces online as well as in my favourite interior stores. I also like to flick through magazines for latest trends, inspiration and products. These items then translate onto paper, which I sketch. Some proving more intricate than others.”

Compiling her illustrations on her increasingly popular instagram, @homedrawn, it is the culmination of many years of interiors obsessing! “From a young age, I was always filling my sketch pad with drawings and doodles of my dream space. I would dream up floorplans, house designs, objects and constantly change my ideas, it was what I enjoyed doing, and still do!” Sounds like a proper interiors addict to us!

While she studied design, most of her illustration skills are self-taught, which led to a lot of experimentation when beginning Homedrawn. “My practice has changed over time. I started off with Artline pens and then began to add watercolours to my drawings. Now, my main preference is watercolour, however every now and again I do like a traditional pencil sketch!”

The Interiors Addict Shop has launched! Win your favourite!

I’m delighted to announce that the Interiors Addict Shop has launched and is open for business online. Happy shopping!

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES

I teamed up with my friend and interior stylist Naomi Findlay of Silk Home to curate our own range of limited edition decorative homewares. We hope you love them as much as we do. Once they’re gone, they’re gone, and if all goes well, we’ll look at releasing new collections twice a year.

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES

The first range, Monochrome & Metallics is, as the name suggests, largely black and white, gold and copper. That said, we couldn’t resist one little pop of Interior Addict fuchsia! Products range from decorative bowls for your coffee table through to a versatile black and copper side table/stool.
