Online shopping fix: Resident GP (plus 15% off for readers)

May 30, 2014

FacebookPinEmailTweet

Have you been looking for that one off piece or for something different for your home? Well look no further, I have found an online haven full of bespoke pieces.

Grey ombre dip dye napkins
I definitely need these Grey Ombre Dip Dye Napkins in my life! And they’re only $26.

Online homewares boutique Resident GP specialise in unique bespoke pieces for the home. Their products are sourced directly from a select group of independent designers from around the globe. The product range truly is different to any other online store I’ve perused (and trust me, I’m a serial shopper).

untitled1
Salt & Spice Caddy made from concrete, $99.

Resident GP is run by the lovely Gabby and her partner Pawel. Originally from Perth, they now call Melbourne home and bask in all the creativity the city has to offer. Realising that so many homewares were mass-produced, Resident GP aims to provide its customers with one-of-a-kind items. “When we discovered we had the same bedside table as a friend all the way in London, we realised that the uniqueness in pieces for the home was slipping away and being replaced by mass-produced items,” explains Gabby. “We want customers to visit our store to search for that bespoke piece that has a magical story behind it, so that it becomes a talking point in your home.”

Black white marble bowl
Marble bowl, $59.

Gabby continues: “There are so many independent artists and designers out there who are unbelievably talented and we feel people need to see their work. For us it’s fun to see the production process as it happens and be able to showcase their work.”

untitled3
Bright Mosaic Cushion $86.

Gabby sees the interiors trends heading towards more unique one-off pieces. “We’re loving the industrial look too and freshening it up with bold pops of colour such as a great piece of art or brightly coloured cushions. Basically, colour, colour, colour! Gone are the days of the neutral palette, people are starting to embrace colour again which we think is fantastic!”

Ink cushion
Ink cushion for only $60.

There are definitely some exciting plans for the future as they are always sourcing new designers to showcase and will even be teaming up with some of them to create their own unique range, exclusive to Resident GP. Watch this space!

Resident GP is offering Interiors Addicts a 15% discount storewide for the next seven days! Simply enter INTERIORSADDICT as the promotional code online. There’s even free shipping on orders over $100. You can thank me later!

Is there a more decadent and delicious soup than F Is there a more decadent and delicious soup than French onion?

I think not!

Grab the recipe on the blog this morning via link in bio.
Get to know me! I haven't done one of these in YE Get to know me!

I haven't done one of these in YEARS so there's possibly thousands of you who don't know my back story. Here's a few things you may not know about me!

✔️ I'm English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and I moved here (just for one year) back in 2008😆 

✔️ I can't end the day without a bath, even if I get home really late or on a really hot day. It's a mental health thing and my happy place. 🛁 

✔️ Before becoming a blogger and running my own small business, I was a journalist from the age of 18. My favourite news gathering times were as a newspaper crime reporter (bit different to interiors!) 📓 

✔️ I once worked at New Scotland Yard in London 🚔 

✔️I had an interview at Oxford (didn't get in!) but chose not to go to uni at all after being offered a job on the local paper #universityoflife 😁

✔️ My mum died when I was 3, I have an excellent dad and one sister (younger) in the UK ❤️ 🇬🇧 

✔️ At school, my favourite subject was French 🇫🇷 and I was head girl 🤓🤓

✔️ I'm addicted to ☕️ , long hot baths and💄 (been wearing it since I was about 14!)

✔️ I'm not a phonecall person and will never ever pick up an unknown number. Ever. They can leave a message 😁

✔️ My favourite cuisine is Japanese 🍣 🍜 and Damian and I honeymooned in Tokyo and Venice 

✔️ I have zero design qualifications. I just started blogging about my passion, which is trying to persuade everyone to #heartyourhome That was 11 years ago...

✔️ My favourite tipple is a good GnT or🍷 

✔️ Cheesy as it sounds, 💁‍♀️being a mum is my absolute biggest joy in life 🧒👦

✔️ I will never give up my old school paper diary! Has to be A5 and week to view 📖 

✔️ My official surname isn't Bishop. I kept my maiden name for work after I got married but changed it for everything else. Often confuse myself!

✔️ I didn't get my Ps until I was 37 and I'm still a terrible parker 😯 🅿️

Hope you feel like you know me a bit better 😘

Blue, green or lilac? 🎨 @nood_co coloured con Blue, green or lilac? 🎨 

@nood_co coloured concrete basins is a great Aussie business success story. Although co founder Matt Di Costa first found fame as one half of Matt and Kim on The Block, he hasn't relied on this to build his brand.

“We are very honoured to have been a part of The Block, and all they have done for us. I am, however, a believer in letting the product take centre stage,” he says.

Read our interview with Matt via link in bio now.

I'd love to see more colour in Aussie interiors! I'd love to see more colour in Aussie  interiors! 🎨 

At the end of the day though, it's a matter of personal taste. I love pops of colour but it's not for everyone. 

We couldn't resist featuring this Canadian house tour today. The amazing Kelly Green  hutch (swipe) was an upcycled $200 find 🤗

Head over to the blog via link in bio to see the rest including one of the best playrooms we've seen in ages!

The things that excite me as a 40 year old 🤭 N The things that excite me as a 40 year old 🤭

None of us enjoy laundry (OK, there are a few of you out there who do. Weird!) but we have to do it. And often. So if your laundry bin can be as good looking, functional and space saving as this, then why wouldn't you?!

I've lost track of how many baskets I've thrown out because they've gone soggy or mouldy. They look pretty, sure, but they're not fit for purpose and they're often messy and overflowing.

Here's what I love about his @brabantia_australia one:

✔️ ventilation holes
✔️ no need to remove the lid for small items plus it hides your dirty laundry from view
✔️ easily removable and washable inner laundry bag that velcros back on 
✔️ corrosion resistant so fine in bathroom or laundry 
✔️ Brabantia make things as sustainably as possible
✔️ compact, sleek, European design
✔️ 10 year warranty
✔️ tall and skinny so takes up less floor in my tiny laundry

The Rolls Royce of laundry bins? I think so 👌🏻

TOLD you this was going to be exciting!

Now I need to know, do you have your laundry basket in the bathroom, the laundry, every bedroom? We used to have one in each bedroom but moved to the laundry-only situation which I much prefer (one for colours and one for whites). My boys know to put their used clothes in the bin in the laundry each night and they're 7 and 3!  #raisingfuturehusbands

"Living rooms are important spaces where our publi "Living rooms are important spaces where our public and private lives intersect."

So says stylist @nataliewalton in her gorgeous new book Style, the Art of Creating a Beautiful Home.

"They are where we gather to welcome guests and entertain. But they are also where we decompress and relax at the end of the day. Increasingly, they are open-plan spaces and need to work within a greater scheme. Bringing all the elements together cohesively requires care and consideration. And, if you want a space that lives up to its true potential, make it personal and create with conviction."

Read an extract, the chapter on elevating your living room, on the blog today via link in bio.
