Amy’s lust list: March 2019

Click On Furniture

It’s certainly been a while between lists but this month’s round-up of my current favourites is a good one! From Click On Furniture’s stylish new additions to retro-inspired pots and luxe enamel tableware, there’s plenty to tempt as we head into the cooler months.

Click On Furniture: The furniture brand has really upped the design ante of late and its latest offering is no exception. I’m a big fan of the terrazzo Astra collection and that Sky Blue velvet dining chair is a beauty too.

From stylish use of rattan to etched wood, there’s so much to love in this pic!

Click on Furniture’s Astra dining table, $2590 and Astra side chairs, $320 each.

Jones & Co wooden animal dishes: With a menagerie of animals to choose from (my personal faves are the koala and llama), these hand-painted wooden trinket dishes would make a great gift. From $26.

Miss Jones

Aura Home Chambray vintage stripe coverlet: I’ve had my eye on this for a couple of months now and just can’t seem to shake it. Timeless (but not dull), this transeasonal piece is made from a blend of linen and cotton and features a stitched diamond pattern. $299.

Aura Home

Capra Designs etch pots: Handcrafted in small batches, these pots have a distinct 70’s feel and come in three gorgeous colours. Each pot comes with a handy tray ensuring proper plant drainage too. $69.

The Capra Designs rainbow object is rather gorgeous also, $89

Table Style & Co luxury tableware: Given the casual nature of contemporary entertaining, napkin rings almost seem like a long lost dinner party relic but these stylish enamel ones could definitely persuade me. $140 (set of four)

Amy’s lust list: September 2018

Given we’re in the enviable position of coming across gorgeous wares on the daily, I thought it was about time I shared the things I’ve been coveting of late. From Slim Aarons inspired photographic prints to the latest whimsical bed linen, there’s so much to love as we head into spring.

Kerrie Hess ‘Louis Giraffe’ print: The first animal print from the celebrated fashion illustrator, I’m just a little bit in love with the little (big!) guy. Louis the giraffe is statuesque in Paris, standing alongside a set of iconic Louis Vuitton luggage. Perfect for the little ones. From $275.

Feliz Home: ‘Dream Weaver’ is the latest collection from this Aussie bedding brand and I’m particularly taken with the delicate hand stitched details, fringing and whimsical patterns. The hand drawn travel-inspired motifs are rather gorgeous too – there are pillows that celebrate an array of Australian capital cities as well as Byron Bay. The range is made from pure Belgian linen and crisp organic cotton and is priced from $39.

Feliz Home

Urban Outfitters bath mats: From statement tigers to Moroccan inspired geometrics, the Urban Outfitters bath mats are perfect for injecting a bit of fun in the bathroom. From $49.

Stuart Cantor prints: These remind me so much of the late great Slim Aarons but they were captured by our very own Melbourne-based photographer Stuart Cantor and are available through Tigmi Trading. Shot in France and Italy, old school glamour abounds and don’t even get me started on the gorgeous warm tones.

“Tigmi has a certain aesthetic and a warm colour palette. The range we selected is a combination of France and Italy. It’s that old world feeling. You look at the photos and are hopefully transported to another space,” says Stuart. From $800.

Spark & Burnish Ocean Plastic knobs: Made from ocean plastic and created by industrial designer Andrew Simpson of Vert Design, proceeds from the sale of these gorgeous cabinet handles are donated to the Great Barrier Reef Foundation and go towards raising money for marine conservation projects. $77 each.

Castle & Things Sweet Pea quilt cover: The latest from Rachel Castle is like spring for the bed. I absolutely adore the combination of floral and stripe. Love! From $135.

Jen’s Lust List: 19.09.2017

It’s been a while between lust lists! I blame overseas travel, jetlag and sickness but now I’m back and firing on all cylinders!

First up, I have Losari, a Bohemian luxe homewares brand from Brisbane mum Kristy Ballentine-Turnball. If you’re one of those people who love everything white, neutral and a little bit boho, this is for you!

Next up, some great dinnerware for the Italian food lovers amongst us: Villeroy & Boch’s Pasta Passion collection. Pasta Passion plates include thoughtfully designed features, like the integrated twisting indent in the spaghetti plate, allowing pasta to be easily twirled around the fork, with no need for a spoon! A raised edge on the large pasta plate helps to scoop up short pasta such as penne and farfalle.  All plates also feature a practical groove for cutlery, to prevent slippage when being carried. Winner of the internationally renowned Red Dot Design Award for Product Design, the Pasta Passion collection cleverly suits traditional dining at the table or a mid-week meal on the sofa.

I’m definitely lusting after the new Curio Cane collection at Clickon Furniture. Those curves! Gorgeous!

Amazing, right?!

I’ll be back with more next week.

Jen’s Lust List: 13.06.17

Hi folks. Sorry I’ve neglected this weekly roundup while I’ve been overseas!

I have developed a love of floral artworks lately and this limited edition Waratah print from Lamai Anne is rather gorgeous. Lamai, who loves drawing Australian natives, brings her illustrations to life with her digital art. Her work began its upward spiral when her first fabric collection was showcased through Robert Kaufman. She has since worked with companies such as Adairs and Hallmark cards. From $135.

Clearly I’m rather partial to the native flora myself! Maybe it’s because I’m from England where the flowers are so very different (yet equally lovely)? I’ve always loved Utopia Goods and their latest collection, The Native Classics, is as gorgeous as ever. The Waratah and Eucalypt designs are my favourites. Aussie as. In the best possible way!

Something else you can never have enough touches of (when done right) in my opinion, is leopard print! This Society of Wanderers print on French linen is just perfect and comes as table and bed linen. Whether you go for napkins or Euro pillowcases, this touch of animal print will look great in your home. Trust me! Buy online via Greenhouse Interiors.

I seem to be all about textiles this week, don’t I?! I feel like gingham is making a comeback and I’m loving it! I’m currently in the UK and gingham is all over the high street in clothing. How good are these charcoal pillowcases from the new The Pillowslip Store? I feel like you could easily mix and match them to great effect, even if you kept your doona cover plain. I do enjoy a more layered, mix and match bed look in the cooler months. $35 each in 100% cotton.

I’ll be back with more finds next week!

Jen’s Lust List 23.05.17

How beautiful are these pieces by small Melbourne studio Felix Furniture? Cork and plywood never looked so good. The young couple behind the brand make everything by hand themselves  and are big on sustainability. It’s no wondered they’ve amassed a large following in just three years.

I’ve been getting a bit wallpaper obsessed lately as I really want some in the office. I love what’s on offer at Quercus & Co. as well as Greg Natale and Anna Spiro’s ranges (both really different!) from Porter’s Paints. And you may remember I’ve used the gorgeous Publisher Textiles’ Bugsey design in my last two homes, I loved it so much! But I think it’s time for something different. Any other great Aussie wallpaper brands out there I don’t know about? Please share with me in the comments!

Also, speaking of home offices, I’ve just bought this storage combo from Pottery Barn. I hate when office furniture looks too, well, officey! There’s nothing corporate about these lovely grey pieces and I think the price point is really good too. Windsor door cabinet, Windsor bookshelf and Windsor storage unit (at the time of writing, these are all on sale). There’s a matching desk too but I already have a timber one.

We featured these yesterday, but I’m really loving Mr Jason Grant’s new tile range with Di Lorenzo. So much so I’m reconsidering my stone splashback in my future kitchen in favour of the mini bricks in deep sea. Yes, we’re talking navy, you got me!

I’m so pleased with these pendants we recently installed in our living room. They were a brave choice and they definitely make a statement but they’re working so well in the big space. Everyone has loved them and even better, they take LED bulbs so they’re really energy efficient as well as beautiful! I’ll be sharing some more photos of the full room soon. Lancette 9 Light CTC in Brushed Brass, $299 from Beacon Lighting

I’m also loving these cool, all-natural handmade baskets from new brand J’Jute. From $149. Many other designs available. Toys, shoes, towels: I see endless potential uses!

And last but not least, I’m loving Georgia MacMillan’s third textile range, especially this gingham-look Farglioni Blue Check. Isn’t it divine?! Available in Australia via Nicola Lawrence Textiles and Papers, $189 per metre.

I’ll be back with more favourite finds next Tuesday!

The latest addition to SMEG’s small appliances range is this beautiful coffee machine. It would look very nice indeed on the kitchen bench and it takes both coffee grounds and the paper pods available from several supermarkets. Available in four colours, from $499.

There’s no doubt about it: terrazzo is making a comeback. Add a touch of it to your home with this set of four trivets/coasters from Sly. $69.95.

You know my feelings on cleaning products with good packaging, especially of the eco-friendly variety! Well, just check out this new brand, Koala Eco. The labels are beyond! They’re all-natural, eco-friendly, cruelty-free and made in Australia. From $10.90.

This week I’ve been in bathroom planning mode and I’m lusting after Brodware’s new Industrica collection, available exclusively at Candana Bathroom Ware in Sydney.

It includes basin sets, mixers, bath sets, shower sets, soap dishes, toilet roll holders, towel rails, and robe hooks and maintains the company’s reputation as an elite Australian bathware product designer and manufacturer.

Heatherly Design Bedheads make it into my lust list again this week with their new range of bedroom accessories to complement their famous bedheads. They include cushions, bedside tables and these gorgeous footstools ($1,570 in velvet).

I’ll be back with more fave finds next Tuesday!

Jen’s lust list 07.03.17

Sorry I missed my lust list last week! We were moving and life just got a bit hectic! 

DesignByThem’s Butter Stool now comes in a new light blue colour. I love the look of these stools and the fact they’re made from 80% recycled materials. Amazingly, the stool is made from a single piece of material which is folded together to become rigid and create the final shape! $319 each and available in nine other colours.

We bought a house last week (yay! Mortgaged for LIFE!) so I’m mentally decorating, renovating and furnishing already. One item on the shopping list for the new home is a solid timber dining table. Something simple and timeless which can withstand knocks and scratches from small people and even get better with age. I really like this Malmo table from Life Interiors, which is currently on sale. $1,274.15

I love the idea of a round one but it won’t work in the space. And marble tops are gorgeous but they’re not cheap and I just know someone will end up taking a chip out of it with something!

Our bedroom post with Darren Palmer last week reminded how important sheets can be to styling your bed. A pop of colour or pattern under your quilt can make a big impact! I’m loving the pink hue of these French linen sheets from WA brand Bedtonic ($339 for queen size sheet set).

If you like the style of bed those sheets are on too, did you know there’s a crazy sale happening at Incy Interiors and their super simple Megan Morton collaboration four-posters in black or cream are currently HALF PRICE. I have never been so tempted! Queen size is now down to $649.50. If your bed’s king size, their Sybilla velvet bedheads are currently a steal on sale too!

And last but by no means least, they’ve added some new customisation options (including vanity tops and two-tone vanity legs) to the drop dead gorgeous Issy by Zuster bathroom collection, available exclusively at Reece. If money were no object, I’d be decking out my new bathrooms in this stuff for sure. I’ll keep dreaming though…

Divine, am I right?!
