Bison Australia

I’ve been checking Bison Australia‘s website regularly for several months now, waiting for the perfect time to feature them here. I first discovered this ceramics company via Holly of Decor8 (check out her shop tour- the photos are lovely), and was instantly smitten with the fresh, modern and cheerful style of this brand. They’re meant to be opening an online shop soon (hence the frequent lurking), so I was going to wait until then for this post. It looks like the shop will be operational on June 1st, but I just can’t resist offering you a “sneak peek” today.

Doesn’t it seem like walking into a Bison store would be a multicoloured dream come true? I love how fashion-led the products seem; they even have a colour palette which changes yearly! I’m feeling the greens, greys, and forget-me-not blue… you?

Cool Kitchen: Paris Apartment

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I hope you all had good weekends- it was a long Bank Holiday one here, so I took the day off yesterday. But it’s a new day and a new week, and I’m looking forward to sharing some great finds with you over the next few days.

There are few words which, when combined, delight me so instantly and completely as the words “Paris” and “apartment”. The idea of a bijoux Parisienne dwelling, under the eaves of a centuries-old building, perhaps looking down on a bustling street or a tranquil courtyard, fills me with a romantic nostalgia so pure I can almost taste it. I’m not even all that bothered about Paris itself, to be honest. Just the apartments.

So I was always going to fall for this space, which was featured on Design*Sponge last week. The slanted ceiling, exposed beams, utilitarian surfaces and rustic feel combine to create an atmosphere so utterly charming that my heart’s all aflutter. It would be easy to channel Julia Child here, non?
