It’s just a fact that the best designers are in the UK. Must be the cold weather… or the lack of daylight. Whatever it is, if ever I find a fabric or design that grabs me…you can lay money on the designer being British.
Which brings me to one of my biggest crushes….Andrew Martin.
I love the nostalgia element that runs through his work. And that Brit pop coolness. He’s not cheap..but he’s vibrant and unique. Some more images to inspire…
Not that I don’t like The Beatles music..but I’ve never bought one of their albums. Their album designs… different story…
The new I want THAT! statement pieces range from I want I want I want! will have a number of stunning upholstered pieces featuring Andrew Martin’s designs. Can’t wait!
If you want to tease yourself and have a look at his furniture and other designs go to www.andrewmartin.co.uk

Loving how much yellow we’re seeing lately…it’s a very cool colour when used well.
Image from www.design-crisis.com
Yellow is a fantastic colour for a couch…it really lends itself to quirky and retro designs.
Image from www.emmawho.tumblr.com
Having said that…it doesn’t lend itself to an average design at all. So, if you think you might inject some bright yellow into your world with a cheapo sofa…the yellow will only make it look cheaper and nastier.
Image from www.spicyoldstuff.blogspot.com
When playing with yellow in couches…as with most big colours…be prepared to spend to make it look great.

The same rule applies to armchairs…

Where you can play cheaply with yellow is with cool little wooden chairs like this, or stools or benches.

More expensive than a wooden chair…but still less than a couch are the industrial metal chairs that look amazing in yellow.

And of course, vintage posters in yellow are fab.

It’s the season for entertaining so this Friday’s five is tablecloths. I’m so glad they’re back…a tablecloth can make all the difference to your dinner party. They add colour, are the base for any theme you might have, and always make an occasion just that bit special. Lisa Bengtsson has this amazing ladies with flowers tablecloth…so dramatic! (A visit to her site http://www.lisabengtsson.se is a must…she is way talented. p.s. you can translate the pages from Sweedish to English )

So I thought I might give Friday’s a bit of a boost with a list each week of cool things and where to get them. If anyone has any requests for me I’d love to hear them! In the meantime, this week we have the very important quirky accent cushion…starting with this way cute pug cushion (bless the pugs and their wheezy little ways..) from Domayne Online for $49.95
# 2

Also from Domayne is this gorgeous wee scientific cross cushion for $29.95.
# 3
Image from www.freedom.com.
This hot air balloon cushion from Freedom is the perfect size (50 x 50), colour ( a monchromatic statement cushion is a must to chill out a big colour scheme), and design (what doesn’t go with hot air balloons??) and is really well priced at $34.95.

I know this whole number/letter thing has taken over homewares, but they do provide a great break from patterns and the trick is, now that the market is flooded with them, to find groovy takes on them… like this suede mustard “9″ from Orson and Blake.

Image from www.fernliving.com
And finally…our fifth cool little cushion is a bit more on the exxy side. This 100% silk unicycle design from Fern Living is $145. It may cost that bit more…but this isn’t going out of style anytime. Your daughters will be putting up their hands for this on will reading day.
