something fresh from Blu Dot

I spotted an interesting lamp, the perimeter floor lamp from Blu Dot, in the latest edition of Belle magazine and went on an internet hunt to find out more.  I was delighted to discover it was actually available in Sydney, so I went on a real life hunt to the store.  
The store, in Alexandria, has only been open a month although Blu Dot has been selling online in Australia since 2012.  In store I met the enthusiastic Brett Conroy who is passionate about their philosophy of creating affordable designer pieces - useful, affordable, desirable is their mantra.  

Below are my favourite picks.  The Charlie rug ($699) has great colours that will mix easily with other furniture.  A good price for its size (approx 1.8 x 1.2).
I really like that hint of pink and grey with the more traditional reds and browns.

The Splash Coat Rack is another good looking piece.  At $389 its stylish and practical, great for renters who can't hang a coat rack, and not a huge investment in the dipped look that is so hot right now.  

Baby sheep skin rugs

My first blog post from my iMac beauty... I am still trying to figure out how things work by the way... but I'm getting there :)

But more to the point, I am after a baby sheep skin rug (or two) like the ones below, a real one... but not overly expensive... Any recommendations on places to get these from?

As we've got timber flooring in all the bedrooms, and with winter fast approaching, I would like something to keep by the bed...

Hope everyone is having a lovely extra long weekend :)

We've been decluttering all day ...  It's very satisfying... :)

Oh, and the kitchen splashback was installed this morning. However, against out Vivid White cabinetry it has a tinge of green even though we paid extra for the special glass (star fire I think it's called) so it could be pure white. What's up with that Stegbar? :S
