Belinda Marshall - Art Prints

Belinda Marshall is a Melbourne-based artist & surface designer who works mainly acrylic on wood and linen.  I have long admired Belinda’s work and have three of her beautiful prints in my home.  She has recently released her new collection and I’m really loving the brightness and vibrancy of the latest pieces.  Her artworks not only add a little burst of colour to your walls but look perfect just propped up on top of your office desk or sideboard.  They have really added the finishing touch to my home, I even have her calendar in pride of place above my desk at work!  Make sure to check out her work in person if you are heading along to the Brisbane or Melbourne Finders Keepers Market this July.

Linear by Resident GP

 

 
Resident GP is one of my all time favourite stores for luxe homewares.  After running their Resident GP store for just over a year, the owners have decided to take the plunge and create their very own product range.  Linear by Resident GP is the debut Marble Collection from the team - and it's an absolute gem!   The collection features beautiful trays, vessels, platters and planters made from white Italian Carrara marble with gold or copper accents.  There are also a few select pieces in black marble for those who prefer the dark side.  These pieces are so versatile - perfect to display your soaps and candles in a bathroom, trinkets and perfumes in the bedroom or why not serve up something yummy at your next dinner party!  I'm finding it hard to pick a favourite piece from the collection, I love the metallic accents and geometric forms, if I was forced to choose (can't I just have them all?) I would probably say it's the hexagonal white marble platter, I have a soft spot for hexagon shapes. 

 

Finell - Bags & Homewares

I recently stumbled across an amazing store called Finell.  Finell is a designer and manufacturer of neo luxe housewares and fashion accessories, based in Austin, Texas.  Their range of handbags and homewares are a stunning blend of geometry and minimalism.  I'm particularly obsessed with their Rae handbag, I'd love to get my hands on one but their Australian stockists are currently scarce.  Hoping more retail outlets pick up this design gem soon! 

Mr Printables - Free Printables

 I've been obsessed with crafts ever since I was a kid.  My best friend and I were always off to Spotlight and Lincraft in our school holidays to get materials for our latest projects.  Every birthday present I wanted was always some new knitting, crochet, embossing, stamping something!  Our projects always ended up half finished, but half the fun was just giving it a go even it didn't work out.  So I wish we had something as awesome as Mr Printables around when we were looking for something to make or decorations for our parties.  Mr Printables is one (if not THE) best printables site around.  Not only are most of the printables FREE, but they are just so darn creative and all you need is a printer, some scissors and a bit of glue!  I'm totally going to get printing and crafting.
