Today I love...

These fabulous budgerigar paintings by artist Ben Quilty:

The new towel range from Aura Home - I'm thinking of the spot towels (second image at front) for my own bathroom:

This great book from Mary Randolph Carter (it's on my Christmas wishlist):

These prints from Southwood Home - green being my favourite colour, I especially love the 'Eat Your Greens' print on the far left:

Speaking of green, I think these green tiles are pretty gorgeous too:

And also this glass and ceramic collection - simple but stunning:

And finally, who could go past a great shell collection like this:

Wishing you a happy weekend.

Shell screen

Problem: A very ugly water temperature control point in my laundry area

Solution: Put something in front of the control point to hide the ugliness!

This is the inspiration...

This is the ugly water temperature control point in my laundry that I want to hide/screen...

And this is how I used a vase and some shells to screen the ugly control point in my laundry area...

What do you think? Does it look better? Well, it wouldn't be difficult to improve on a water temperature control point would it!

I will be back to post a belated 'Monday Morning Shop Post' later on today.
