Slice of Heaven: April 2010

95% of the time I spend on the computer, I am sidetracked by inspiring design, pretty colours and things that make me feel warm inside. So, I've decided I must share some of these designs, illustrations, and bits & bobs that some people usually wouldn't think of checking out.

There is no doubt in my mind that I love interior design. Everything about it makes me giddy and want to colour co-ordinate, organize and mix and match every part of my life. It sometimes gets pretty bad, and if you know me well you've noticed that I fold the clothes that have been scruffed up at a clothing store, or suddenly decide to clean your room as you've popped into the toilet.
Anyway, my point is that a single colour, accessory, throw rug or photo can transform a once 'blah' room into something beautiful!

Something I love so much more then interior design is STATIONARY!!! One of my little pleasures in life is going down to Officeworks or an Arts and Craft store and shopping for pretty notebooks, organizers, cards, etc! Here are a few designers that I LOVE!

These are London graphic designers (which they apply their work to stationary and things for the home) Present&Correct- www.presentandcorrect.com. There work is too cute to handle, with the organizers so clever and handy!
There long-term obsession with stationary has flourished there ever-growing warehouse, implementing funky, quirky and vintage inspired designs throughout their collections. Check it out!

Another designer who has put exentricity and creativity ahead of the norm is Anna Fraser's card collection "Cards for Complicated People". This collection has something everyone can relate to, they're funny, cheeky and have a strange truth to them.

Moving on now..while reading the April issue of Cosmo (or Cleo, they're both the same) I discovered an abundance of amazing illustrators that I just have to share.
