...Exhibition Recycling Part 1...

So I graduated with a Diploma in Interior Design and Decoration this year from Design Centre Enmore. After 4 grueling years of part time study, it's strange and surreal to not have to rush home after work to do homework!
For our graduate piece, we held an exhibition in which we were each given a 1200x1200x2400 stand to decorate how we saw fit, paying mind to sustainability.
I'll post photos of my stand another time, but for now I need to get out an idea I've had to recycle my floor which I made out of old fence palings I purchased from Heritage Timbers.
My partner and I are looking to move in together next year, and both of us are on tight budgets with not much furniture. Light bulb moment - I'm turning my floor into a table!

I have the designs in my head, and will post progress shots etc, but for now here are some inspiration images I've found.

First up, my floor! Excuse the thongs.

Driftwood French Provincal Side Table - French Dressing

Fence Paling Table Top Project - Home Ninemsn

Paul Hay - Yellow Dog 2008

Flotsam and Jetsam - Yanko Design

Hmm, lots of possibilities!

...a Lotta talent...

I swear, it really is serendipity that one of my fave blogs to follow - Emmas Design Blogg - did a post about Lotta Agaton at the same time I have.

I've been following Lotta on facebook for a while now, and always find her images so beautiful and inspiring. She's a freelance interior stylist based in Stockholm, and her clients include Elle Interiör, Ikea, Decor Maison, Kvadrat and Unicef to name a few.

Lotta will be opening a store in Stockholm soon, and launching an online webstore shortly after that. I can't wait to see more of her amazing work - makes me want to move to Stockholm!

And some images of the new store in Stockholm:

...Stef Bakker...

Stef Bakker is an amazing architect/designer/creative genius based in the Netherlands.
It's almost impossible to find any information about him, other than the fact that I'm falling in love.

Visit Stef Bakker here.
