I didn't know what to blog about, 

so here are some random images that made me smile.

If you've been following my blog you know I love all things Catherine Martin. These are the 4 covers of the Collector's Edition Vogue Living Australia she edited several months ago. The issue was simply lovely cover to cover, and between cover to cover.

Pretty anyone-can-do. Image via ish&chi, though I think the original image may be from Decor8. 

Black&Spiro interior that takes a weird alcove and makes it better. I found the image on VT Interiors Library

I like porcelain. And heads with things sprouting from 'em. "Behind Quiet Veils of The Blue Willow" 2001 by Red Weldon Sandlin. Picture: Newark Museum via NYTimes

Richard Saja's Frankentoile

Found. Artist/genius Richard Saja who makes irreverent history-based objects, prints and general things I want in my vicinity. Here is his 'Frankentoile' concept, concentrating on adding context to a monochromatic Pierre Deux print. One of the simpler ideas amongst his depth of work. 

But I covet. COVET.

All images and work the property of the artist. Images via Richard Saja's blogspot

Pretty Objects from Tracy Porter

Thanks to Hidden in France, who thanked Liberty Post, I was led to Tracy Porter. Unfortunately most of the lovely objet d'art items (eg. monkey in robe sitting amongst ming vases, or pear on top of plinth), no doubt have been snapped up and hence removed from the website, but salvaged these.

It's only clutter if I don't love it, but oh how I would've.

Quietly lovely chinois chair in setting and on its own.
