Amy’s top 10 picks from west elm’s 2017 spring collection

June 26, 2017 Leave a Comment

FacebookPinEmailTweet

west elm is back with a whimsical new collection for spring and we’ve got our eye on quite a few of the pieces. Animal lovers will be hard pressed to pick a favourite with a gorgeous brass monkey table and mid-century animal illustrations just twoย of the highlights.

Monkey side table: A mix of marble, brass and glass, this cheeky piece is a most excellent conversation starter. I want! $449.

Marcellย wing chair in forest: I love the straight, angular lines of this piece – it has a futuristic feel despite its retro inspiration. $999.

Wallace Sewell Crewel multi pinwheel cushion cover: The geometric pattern and 1970’s hues make this statement cushion a collection standout. $49.

Streamline narrow side table, umber & antique brass: This one is the perfect solution for that tight space next to the sofa. $399.

Colourblock woven lounge chair, multi: Oneย of the most jubilant outdoor pieces I’ve seen in some time. $499.

Fishs Eddy Charley Harper glassware: The whimsical work of mid-century American artist Charley Harper adorns this range. From $10.

Celine bench, light pink: Perfect for the foot of the bed or under a window, I love this practical,ย low bench seat. $599.

Diamond Point rug, frost grey 152cm x 244cm: Like a tranquil tapestry for the floor, this rug is finished with playful pom pom fringing. $499.

Concrete and metal standing planters: Made from lightweight resin to resemble concrete, and thusย much easier to move around the house, these stylish planters are available in two sizes. $219 (medium) and $279 (large).

Dapper Jaguar salad plate: A statement for the table top, and perfect for lovers of anthropomorphism! There are four to choose from but I’m coveting the Jaguar.ย $9.

Letterbox kinder egg deliveries from a friend, dressing changes without a flinch and refusing to nap despite all the bribes (check the face on him in pic 3!).

Thanks for all your care and messages/comments for this tired and shaken up mama! Now very relieved and grateful ๐Ÿ™
Before & after It's not just the award winning de Before & after

It's not just the award winning designer houses that get us excited here. It's also the beloved family homes which are renovated and extended to make them fit for purpose so people can continue to live where they love ๐Ÿค—

@inspiredspacesaus helped her clients with teenage kids transform this house in Sydney's Hills District inside and out, making it their forever home. 

Due to the nature of the block they could only extend sideways and then gave it street appeal with render, new windows and doors.

See inside on the blog now, via link in bio. It was completely overhauled!

Oh what a night. Thankfully Hornsby Hospital were as amazing as always and we avoided stitches. All taped and glued  back together and now to keep him calm for the next few days (๐Ÿคช) and watch for signs of concussion. 

Bravest little patient ever. Yes I've had a ๐Ÿท

Funny how we go into super organised mama mode in times like these. Grabbed dinosaurs, textas and scrapbook on the way out in case we had a long wait!

UPDATE: thanks for all the love! Charlie is so well this morning after a big sleep!
Australian made bathroomware is seriously impressi Australian made bathroomware is seriously impressive!

The new @studio.xox ONLY sells Australian brands. Like @nood_co coloured basins, lead-free eco brass from @faucetstrommen and @lindseywherrett's  ceramic basins made by hand in Tassie.

And as for their Sydney showroom (they also sell online): WOW.

Do I recommend a timber vanity top? A big fat NOP Do I recommend a timber vanity top?

A big fat NOPE! ๐Ÿ’ง 

Which is why we have recently covered ours with a Caesarstone top (thanks to @justinplace_sydney for the advice and supply) and the sweet RELIEF of not having to worry about this high traffic area anymore, I'm telling you!๐Ÿค—

Doesn't matter what they tell you or how many times it's sealed, I'm not sure it's a great idea in a room which is so, well, wet!

I love having the warmth of timber in the bathroom and it's a beautiful piece, but timber on the top? Never again.

Ours probably lasted a year (if that) before it started to go downhill (and we want a good decade out of a bathroom, right?!). 2.5 years on, everything else in this bathroom looks virtually brand new and the water marked vanity top was really letting the side down and making me sad!

But I'm so pleased with this solution, I have to say! Took the plumber less than an hour to remove the sink, install the top and connect the sink back up. We didn't need to move the tap and it isn't too close to the basin.

The kids are allowed to brush their teeth and wash their hands (liquid soap ๐Ÿฅด) in here again and I can leave my hair straightener on there with gay abandon ๐Ÿ˜†

The reflective surface (which I can clean with whatever I like!๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป) brightens the room up too!

Next week I'll tell you what I really think of my brass tile trim too ๐Ÿ˜‰
