7 Vignettes with The Block’s Darren Palmer

By Jen Bishop •

FacebookPinWhatsAppEmailTweet

It’s almost time for the March round of my Instagram photo challenge 7 Vignettes, and next month I’m delighted we have interior designer and judge on The Block Darren Palmer, taking part as our guest judge. Here’s the new list!

7 vignettes March

This month I’ve compiled the list from participants’ suggestions. I hope you like them! The lovely Darren will be watching the hashtag and joining in the fun, then helping me pick the winner at the end of the week.

Darren Palmer

This time we have a great prize for the winner; not just a $200 voucher to spend at PAD (Passionate about Design), but also two bespoke cushions from Mantel and Church worth $270.

How to play

If you’re new to 7 Vignettes, here’s how to take part:

1. Refer to the list above. The fun starts on 1 March for 7 days. So, on day 1 your vignette should be inspired by the word white, on day 2 by circles, and so on.

2. Each day, post your vignette to Instagram with the hashtag  #7vignettes so we can easily find it, and tag Darren (@darrenpalmerinteriors) and I (jenbishop_interiorsaddict).

4. If you miss a day, no worries! But you must post all 7 vignettes by midnight on day 7 to be in with a chance of winning.

5. If you want to submit more than one image each day, go for your life!

If you have any questions, please post them in the comments below and I’ll get back to you. Unfortunately the winner must be in Australia but we love our international friends to take part just for fun!

I always LOVE a new IKEA STOCKHOLM (widely known a I always LOVE a new IKEA STOCKHOLM (widely known as the IKEA best of) collection and 2025 is in Australian stores NOW.

I'm getting that floor lamp at a minimum.

Karin Gustavsson, creative leader for STOCKHOLM, IKEA Sweden, said: “The purpose of the STOCKHOLM collections has always been to prove that high quality doesn’t need to come at an intimidating cost. We have worked to create a no-compromise kind of collection where every piece tells a story."

Check it out on the blog now via link in bio and stories.

Don't hang around as these pieces always sell out fast.

Building new isn't the only way to get a climate f Building new isn't the only way to get a climate friendly home. CSIRO research indicates that over half of the houses Australians will live in by 2050 already exist today. And those homes — from our 1950s weatherboards to mid-century gems — offer one of the most exciting opportunities to slash emissions, cut energy bills, and reimagine home design for a low-carbon future.

Welcome to the rise of retrofit culture: a movement that’s proving you don’t need to knock down to level up.

We're having this discussion on the blog today and sharing examples of two older homes given new, more sustainable, leases on life.

Head over via link in bio and stories.

Love to know your view on knockdown rebuild vs. Renovating older homes and what you have done and why in the comments!

Set off on a spontaneous trip to Balmoral despite Set off on a spontaneous trip to Balmoral despite it being dreary and grey because the kids wanted the beach (and it's our favourite). Then BOOM! The weather decided to turn it ON 🙌🏼☀️

Thought about trading in our house for an apartment as we often do 😜 and reminisced about our Lower North Shore days pre-parenthood. Sigh.

Wouldn't change our lot though 🥰

    Hi Jen
    Saw you out at Life in Style at the Style Lab, but hadn’t booked so couldn’t join in to your talk. Hope to next year though. But I will certainly be joining in here with 7 vignettes. Looks like fun.

      Oh you should have come and joined us, there were a few no-shows! Such a shame as I know lots of people who tried to book and were too late 🙁

    Hi Jen,
    Thanks heaps for setting up another 7 vignettes for the month of March. I just wanted to let you know how these challenges have brought back to me the joy of looking at what I have, not what I don’t! Of looking at the now not the past. I am trying to re-find myself after years of chronic depression and these challenges and friends I have found on Instagram have been truly a gift to me. It has given me inspiration to renew my blog and also the courage to enroll in Holly Becker’s latest blog e-course also starting tomorrow. I am so looking forward to the month of March! Thank you x Fi

    Hi! I’m new to this page and can i just say… I LOVE IT!
    I’m interested by the 7 Vignettes and want to participate, but I just wanted to clarify something.
    With each topic over the 7 days, does it have to be interior design related? ie, cushion patterns, wallpapers etc

    • Jen BishopJen Bishop says

      March 1, 2013 at 9:24 am

      Not at all Melissa. Whatever you like. Check out the hashtag today on day 1 and get some ideas. Please join in 🙂

    Hey! First timer to this challange. Does the image need to be photographed by myself or can it be an image i have come accross. Thanks Jen.

      Welcome! Yes, it has to be your own. The point is you style your own vignette/arrangement 🙂
