Mr Vogue Living

A fascinating interview with David Clark, editor of Australian Vogue Living, over at The Design Files. Love the beautiful images and his comments on creativity.

The FOZZ

THANK YOU TB! We are very thankful (and blinded by the light!) The FOZZ's have been installed! FOZZ products available here.

Lighting

Have been making a few small changes on the home front - amazing how they make me feel about our space. Will post a pic or two very soon. Added a new rug, blinds and (very bright, excellent for cooking, homework time etc) ceiling lights to our kitchen/family area.

As a supplement to the FOZZ, for soothing, low-level lighting, I am thinking "floorlamp". Here are some possible options....

Replica Lewit M Floor Lamp (on sale $199) from ClickOn Furniture. Love the base, possibly a bit "dark/heavy" for the space (on the other hand, could look good in the lounge room, mmmm now that's an idea...)

Replica Tolomeo Floor Lamp Large (on sale $143) also from ClickOn Furniture. Great for a more industrial look, possibly a bit "cold" for the room.

JACOB ($189) from Beacon Lighting. Hoping this may go on sale as is probably the best match with the space as it's the "softest" option.


In other lighting news, I have my eye on this (although having also drooled over the Bay Leather Republic version - add $200 to the price tag, thank you - this looks a bit cheapie in comparison).

Sheer Glass Table Lamp ($99) from Freedom.


I am also a little (ok, a LOT) partial to this earthy, natural lantern. Thinking it may work in our bedroom with a low wattage globe. Also comes in a dark brown but a larger size so may be too long.

Spiral Lantern - Small from Hermon&Hermon.
