a little mexican lovin'
Doesn't everyone love a little Mexican?
I spotted this funky little pop up food joint in Surry Hills yesterday when I was on my way to a meeting - design inspiration is everywhere.
The building is the old Royal Lounge Pub but it has been taken over by a new chef with a love of colourful Mexican food.
I love the colour they have injected into the old pub. It has captured the Mexican theme & is a lovely place to sit outside to enjoy the sunshine.
Go check it out!

Sydney Design Stalker #2
The Sydney Design Stalker strikes again!
Have you ever seen a more beautiful home? Granted it is not everyone's taste (and I don't think I could live without having a wall colour) but it is most definitely textured and colourful!
What do you think?
Hidden windows somewhere under there
Yes, it is a house!
Gorgeous little windows
The front door

Interiors Photography
Photographs of interior spaces is a difficult talent to master. People tell you never to work with animal or children, I would advise you to pray to the sun before doing a photographic shoot.
Brent Darby is a talented New Zealand born photographer who is now living in NYC and making his name in the interiors industry. His style is light, airy, full of nature light (see, a true talent, he must do a lot of praying) and always incorporates texture.
I am drawn to the gentle and simple nature of these images. They don't look over styled, instead, they look rather effortless.
Do you relate to his images as much as I do?

A can of GOLD spray paint
Is there an item in your home or something you found that you just HAD TO HAVE? Then you get home and try to make it fit with the rest of your space and realise it is never going to work. We are all culprits of this!
Here is my very easy 1, 2, 3 - that will have you running to your local store for a can of spray paint.
I picked up this watering can from IKEA while I was sourcing for a client last week and absolutely had to have it- my life depended on it (or so it seemed at that moment). It costs my $2.99, I had big plans for it. I new my desk could do with some uplifting and I thought this can would look super cut with flowers in them.
The only problem - the feature colour in my room is gold (at the moment). Yes, this changes more often than the weather in Sydney.
I keep a can of gold spray paint at home for rainy days - it always seems to come in handy and feed you that little bit of creativity that you are so hungry for. You can pick up a can from your local Bunnings for less than $15.00
Ok, it's time for a make over!
My Boyfriend, let's call him Jack - because he is my "Jack of all trades" once gave me the best advice when handling spray paint, he said, "Do it on the grass". Thank you life saver! It's quick, there is no preparation, no need for newspaper that is going to move in the wind and end up sticking to what you are painting and within a week you cannot even see where you spray painted - mother nature takes care of that!
Here is my finished product! I will show you a photo next time of it sitting on my desk with fresh blooms inside!
What are you planning on attacking with a can of spray paint?
