A few recent temptations on my mind this fall for a curated home

Happy Tuesday lovers. Autumn is finally here! I find myself getting that new kick of inspiration as the season’s change and I’m really feeling it these days. It’s no news to you that as a designer, I am always on the lookout for beautiful pieces that I can use during the styling stages of our projects. The best feature that Instagram implemented on their app was the ‘Shop’ I have found so many new small businesses with a curated selection of refined homeware items and antiques. Obsessed is an understatement. How good is that fluted marble bowl!!

Excited for more blog posts I have on my mind, more Instagram fun, and hopefully some travel updates in the upcoming autumn/winter months. More to come! For now…a few things worth noting.

Recent Temptations

Pablo Linen Dining Set | Rinka Ceramic Plate | Ripple Champagne Saucers

Marble Chain Sculpture | Treble Clef Cutlery Set | Zig Zag Candlestick | Fluted Marble Bowl | Loewe Scented Candle

If you need to know anything about me is that I am a lover of stationery and books. My old atelier was filled to the brim with books and magazines. When I moved home I had 10 boxes purely dedicated to them. Yes. That is how obsessed I am. As I began to dabble in the Design world and landed myself a serious Interior Design position at a Luxury Boutique Design Studio, I started investing in books that would keep me inspired. Instead of grabbing my phone to check Instagram or Pinterest, I would brew my coffee and spend my weekend mornings on my atelier floor, flicking through their pages and noting down any ideas that would jump out at me or pictures that I loved the look of. So, here I am with a severe case of insomnia, browsing online and I couldn’t resist putting together a curated list of my current top 15 favourite coffee table books for the design & art lover!

Let me know which books you have on your coffee table or perhaps even your cart (i know I’m guilty of that!)
