Artist Love - Rosetta Santucci

Dandelion Walk

Have you seen any of the fabulous paintings by Australian artist Rosetta Santucci - possibly in Nina Proudman's bedroom if you, like me,  obsessively watched Channel 10's Offspring?
{Weebirdy has a great blog post on how to get the 'Nina'-look here}.

I think this is my favourite of Rosetta's paintings (but it's hard to choose!).

Falling Into The Light  86cm x 61cm

Rosetta's husband John is also a talented artist, so it's no surprise to discover that they have a very stylish home, it's been featured on The Design Files, as well as a few magazines and Design*Sponge too.
My favourite rooms are the bedroom (below) and her painting studio.

Rosetta's fabulous and original style is influenced by her background in costume (for film /TV), jewellery & Textile design. She is particularly inspired by ethnic & tribal textiles.
Her work is also evocative of a birds eye view of exotic, fantastical landscapes. Imagine a land or a world with that much colour....

Design spotlight - Bokja

Hi there,

this is going to be a post of pictures and very few words. I don't believe words are needed, the pictures speak for themselves.

Let me suffice to say these wonderful items are from the incredible store called Bokja, in Beirut, Lebanon. 

I must also mention that these 'ahh-mazing' photographs were taken in the store by Gemma, a Sydney textile designer,  of Line Shape Colour blog (where you can find her great Bokja post).

All I can say is *SWOON*!!"

Take care,
and may your day, week (or indeed life!!!) be as cheerful and bright as this wonderful work of the Bokja design duo!!

Love,
Sally x0x
