Scotillo magazine racks

Acrylic + leather = a whole range of handsome magazine holders by Scotillo.

Funny, I couldn’t find much mention of this Italian brand in English in the whole of cyberspace.

Otthon magazine

Here’s a very inviting country home as seen on the website of a Hungarian home decor magazine, Otthon.

I’ve no clue what the site says, but it looks like there’s a contest for readers to vote their favourite home and the couple who owns this cosy abode is one of the finalists.

Big Idea

One of my favorite features on our local Home and Decor magazine is the Big Idea page, where I like to be surprised by an idea to re-use something for a different purpose – like framing up old tees as artwork and this one; converting a foosball rod to wall hooks. Though not everyone has a foosball table but it’s just an idea to toy with.

Byrdie Kids + wall decals

Having trouble taking my eyes off these French frames (and the lovely room setup) from Byrdie Kids, a spinoff from a new decal shop Byrdie Graphics.

Artistic tableware from Antheor

The French company, Antheor has been hand-crafting fine tableware collections for more than a decade with the goal to accentuate the French style of decorating — where “aesthetic pleasure goes hand in hand with eating pleasure“.

Mmm…enjoying a meal served *framed up* like works of art.

I can begin to picture *frames* of nasi lemak, char kway teow, rojak or Hokkien mee (all yummy local favourites here) awaiting to be savoured as grand culinary masterpieces!

de Gournay wallpapers

I find it most intriguing when images seek to take over something physical. It’s like creating an extra seat just by drawing a life-size chair.

When I came across these hand-painted wallpapers from de Gournay, I was immediately drawn to these 2 scenes. Imagine sitting next to the Roman-era ruins in the city of Palmyra in Syria or encountering a wind so mighty that branches bend and blossoms fall, almost reaching the floor.

This unreal awareness is simply phenomenal!

Greengate + beige vintage wash

Greengate’s signature colours and prints (think Cath Kidston) are no doubt appealing. However while going through the online catalogue, the few pages with a splash of beige vintage wash (see below) seemingly appeal more to me than the rest.

Um, but this could be purely a “virtual” fancy. If I do get to see the full range in person, I might favour something with more colours. But I like the beige (think linen) too!

Good thing I don’t have to decide right now!
