You’ve Urnt It…
March 17th, 2010
At the moment, I’m in love with urns on pedestals. They are such an opulent touch to any courtyard, terrace, patio, garden or even inside the house, in the foyer, corridors or indoor gardens.
I’ve found a great retailer of urns and pedestals of all shapes, sizes and prices. The Yardware store on O’Riordan St in Alexandria is a mecca containing all things gracious and regal for your outdoor living – and even indoor if you choose.
One of my favourties is the Aves Bird Urn on Spring Pedestal Stand. You could place it anywhere and it would instantly transform a middle-class space to a grand space.
If you get the chance to visit this store, it’s well worth a look at all the amazing concrete, sandstone and aged materials used to create such stunning pieces.

Philippe Starck’s Miss Lacy
March 15th, 2010
Words cannot describe how much I love this chair (not as much as my Konstantin Grcic chairs at home!).
This is a creation from Philippe Starck for Driade, called Miss Lacy. The stainless steel legs and stainless steel cast floral pattern seat make the chair not only comfortable, but it leaves an amazing floral print on your back, butt and thighs.
When you first pick up the chair, you notice the weight. You can always judge a strong and sound product by it’s weight, especially chairs. It’s like when you shut the door on a European car and get that heavy thud. It’s the sound of quality.
They would make the ultimate dining chairs in a very crisp and clinical home, with a crystal dining table – these chairs are the feature of a room and you can’t take that away from them – especially for $6,130 each at Space Furniture on O’Riordan St, Alexandria.
