My new obsession

Well maybe I’m a little slower than the rest of you but I’ve recently discovered the fabulous world of ‘Pintrest’....and whilst it took forever for them to accept my request (what is going on there?!?) I am now pinning my heart away...
So many fabulous images and ideas, its an interior designers dream....surely I could do this all day in the name of "research".
Here are some of my most recent pins, but be warned…this may get you hooked as well.

 The designer in me wants this sooo bad, but I cant help but wonder how much weight is against that glass wall & how thick would that glass have to be to withstand that pressure.... Regardless of the all the questions it looks spectacular and would be a welcome addition in my home. Love the little tiles that flow through into the practical rebated shelf and the overall slight aqua green colouring. Understated and yet the perfect colour for a bathroom.


 
I would adore a space like this and what a fabulous use of otherwise wasted roof space. I am a big believer in the converted roof space and for a chill out zone....just perfect! to be enjoyed by the whole family. 
Love the washed out look to the cladded elements, comfy floor cushions and the overall blue/aqua tones evoking a beach hut style. Complimented beautifully by the freshly painted white cladding and flooring, I'm also loving the light streaming in by the cute little window.

COSMOPOLITAN NURSERY SHOOT - AT OUR HOUSE!!!!

 Wow, what can I say....what an amazing day!

We had the honour of hosting 3 wonderful members of the Cosmopolitan team to the house today to shoot our little boys nursery....and best of all they brought their hair and makeup team to make me all fancy too.

Editor Kat, was so impressed with photos we had sent her that she had to bring the team out of the big smoke for a road trip, and we put on a beautiful day too.
Birdie & Oak's line of imprints, bunting and Noah's cute custom singlet were all photographed and (fingers crossed) are in for a big plug when the mag is in store June/July.

Super exciting...our 1st published works!

Check out the pics of the team taking pics :-)

Shoalhaven Baby & Toddler Expo - Recap

Our 1st experience behind the scenes at an expo for Birdie & Oak 
could be classed as nothing less than an overwhelming success.

We were so proud to show off our hard work, and had some wonderful feedback from customers indicating our designs are refreshing in an industry where the only options available for capturing hands and feet has been considered rather dated.

Massive thanks go out to Mum-to-be Casey for making the huge effort whilst being 37 weeks pregnant, and the beautiful Nanna-to-be Sue for being a wonderful help as well xx

 With orders-a-plenty and numerous entries into our  giveaway ...refer to our facebook page for how to enter....entries close 31st March 2012
...we are too very happy little birdies x
