I built this inspiration board a year or so ago, just to keep all the little bits and pieces that we seem to accumulate that we love. The top right hand corner is a Lavazza ad (featured in the previous post too) that I tore out of a magzine during my first year at Tafe because I loved the colours - the lime nails and yellow corset (and I collect corsetry, so that didn't hurt either). There are photos of my friends and pets, little hand made gift tags that I picked up at Pepe Paperie in Bondi Junction, a bookmark I was given for xmas, mini embroideries I did years ago while working the phones in a call centre, and some street art I picked up in Ultimo and Newtown.

Plywood Passion and a Little Hindsvik Pt 1
Stumbling around the many and varied design blogs and websites I visit of a morning, I noticed two words together that you don't see often. Plywood. Flooring.
Hunh. This should be interesting, I thought.
I'm now a convert, and am seriously considering it for my dream house. I've always loved hardwood floors, but love the look of sheets rather than planks after spying a beautiful house in a magazine with huge sheets of Australian Blackbutt used as flooring in a beautiful almost black chocolate stain.

Then, of course, I was led to HindviskVintage, and the amazing Plywood makeover they've done on their bedroom. While, I'm not a huge fan of the headboard and side tables, I love the idea of a completely integrated room, and I adore the floor and the design of the rest of the room. The tiny Inuit drawings, gorgeous!
