The winner of 7 Vignettes March is…

By Jen Bishop •

Dee! (aka Pictured Thoughts on Instagram).

Guest judge Darren Palmer and I were equally impressed with her consistent effort throughout the entire week (never mind the outtakes which have continued to be posted as extras ever since!). This is why she won…

White

CirclesIt was such a tricky choice this month with so many stunning entries! I think even Darren might agree it was tougher than judging a room on The Block! But we both feel pretty confident we picked the right person. Darren, who said the quality of everyone’s work was inspiring, added: “Dee definitely had the most vignettes I liked over the week. Great work all round and there were many entries in my shortlist. I was so happy to see such great style and skill out there!”

Paper

geometric

Dee wins a $200 voucher from PAD and two custom cushions from Mantel and Church. I already can’t wait until next month, when the guest judge will be Louise Olsen from Dinosaur Designs.

Darren has asked for a special mention to be given to Kyla Flanagan, for this particular vignette, which was one of his favourites.

Kyla FlanaganHuge congratulations Dee, and well done to the hundreds who took part. I can’t believe we’ve had three rounds already!

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 🥰

    Dear Jen,
    I can’t thank you enough. What a magic experience. I am a little overwhelmed right now, and incredibly grateful to everyone for their continued support. Third time lucky… 3 has always been my favourite number, I’m a third born. Thank you to Darren Palmer for judging and his lovely comments, very appreciated. Thank you to Mantel and Church and to PAD for providing the prizes, I am sure I will enjoy them.Very much! I will respond on IG with a few more words and thank everyone shortly. Thank you, thank you…

    Congratulations Dee! Thoroughly deserved. Your styling and photography is stunning and your images are even more beautiful when viewed here on a larger scale. Not only are you clearly very talented but a very supportive person in the IG community who is so generous with compliments of others. I have only met you this way but can imagine you are just as lovely in person. Well done!
    AND thanks Jenn for this wonderful opportunity to get involved in styling and sharing.

    There is some amazing talent and really original thinking on 7Vignettes – i really agree that Dee’s themes and styling was brilliant every day. I found myself looking forward to what the next day would bring.

    And to top it off she is genuinely supportive and full of praise for everyone else’s work.

    So pleased to see such a well deserved talent recognised!

    Kudos as well to you Jen for creating something that is as much about a positive community as it is about a competition!

    Thanks for those great pictures from Dee, and Dee for THE BOOK – “Work: The Building of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link.” I researched it right away, no luck at my library in Seattle. But Amazon had a great review in the “book description,” sounds like a great read about how to do a hugh hi-tech project while including the beauty of nature in the development. I want to read this book to see how the sensitive rural areas were handled and the wild flower meadows were planned and planted. We could learn much better development theories like these to use in the US. Thanks again, Barb
