Strike me Pink……and Aqua
I wanted to share with you a new piece of art we have hanging in our home.
As you know, it was my daughter’s birthday recently and she has aspirations of being a fashion designer. She is also ready to redecorate her bedroom and has decided that her new colour scheme will be pink and aqua.
We found this image at Better Homes and Gardens and will be taking our colour inspiration from it.

So when I came across the works of Laura Trevey I knew it would be a welcome addition to the room – aqua, pink and fashion.

Girlie Girl by Laura Trevey
I bought four prints the same size and had them all framed together in one large white frame.I must admit I was a little worried the colours wouldn’t be as bright in the flesh as they were on my computer screen. But I had no cause for concern as they were exactly as I had expected.

I love all of Laura’s watercolours for their bright colours and her whimsical style. She writes a fabulous blog on art, photography, fashion, design and entertainment.

Red, Orange, Green and Bholu
Remember that alarm I mentioned on Monday? Well it went off even earlier today as I needed to be in the city for breakfast.
Not that I was complaining. I was off to the Cafe in the Royal Botanic Gardens for the launch of Porters Paints new wallpapers which have been designed by the very clever Jodie Fried.
Jodie is the designer behind Bholu, pronounced boll-loooo. The name has it’s origin in India and means a term of endearment and affection towards a small child or is descriptive of naive and free artistic expression.

Bholu products are designed in Australia and are brought to life by artisans in India. Proceeds of many of the pieces sold are put back into the Indian communities giving them independence and opportunity.

Since 2007, Bholu, along with Architect Without Frontiers have built 10 Bholu schools and now have more then 250 children in school, receiving education, hygiene, nutrition and love.

Many of the wallpaper designs have been inspired by artworks by the children in India and would look gorgeous in a nursery or young child’s room. The bright colours and fun images are a refreshing change for childrens’ decor.
Porter’s Paints will be donating a percentage of sales of this collection to the “Bholu Anganwadi Project” which rebuilds preschools for slum children in under privileged communities in India.
Porters Paints and Bholu wallpaper and accessories are available from Inside Out Colour and Design.
