<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Incorporate Copper Details</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Since this whole interior design may look bare and simple, you need to bring character with small details. A great way to achieve this is by introducing copper ornaments and accessories in your home. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If you are feeling crafty and on a budget, you could use copper paint that is suitable for glass, and decorate your mugs, glasses, candles and vases. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You can be creative and design these with Scandinavian-inspired motifs such as deer antlers, geometric patterns or leaves. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You can also easily decorate tin cans with three coats of copper paint and turn them into cute, decorative pencil holders or pots for plants and dot around your home. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For a bathroom refresh just spray paint the towel rings, mirror frame and bathroom hook.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Introduce Wood</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">To strike the perfect contrast to the whole white interior you should incorporate more natural wood into your home. You can do that through furniture, flooring or you can even decorate the walls with some wood art and panels. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Another simple way is to introduce wooden branches as decoration. You can use some sturdy branches with a hook shaped piece and use them as coat hooks in your hallway. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Also, you can use them as hanging racks, and hang a few of them in your living room or patio and have a perfect place for your hangi</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">ng plants. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Wood will bring warm atmosphere in your home because it is a natural insulator. But above all, it will turn your house into a lovely cozy place for your family.<br /></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Functional Bright Kitchen</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As the busiest place in your home, the kitchen needs to be bright, spacious and functional. Like with the rest of the Scandi look, your kitchen can be painted all-white with copper and wooden details. Also, to make it brighter you should let as much daylight as possible in order to make it appear bigger and cozier. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">To respect the functionality of this design, you should make sure to have multi-functional furniture, lots of useful storage and no excess appliances and clutter.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Love the Nature</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Despite cold long winters, Scandinavians adore spending time in nature doing various activities. To be even closer to the nature, they decided to bring it inside. To do the same, you should introduce plants and greenery in your home and show deep appreciation to nature and healthy life. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hang up your favorite flowers, filter the air with some bigger potted plants and introduce natural textures and fibers </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">into your home. Hang some art that depicts nature and simple mimic its neutral tones in your home.<br /></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Cozy Corner Fireplace</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">To survive long cold winters, Scandinavians rely on their warm fireplaces that are there for heat and sometimes even cooking. Of course, with today’s technology we do not have to worry about the cooking appliances, but a nice corner fireplace is a great decoration and an artful focal point. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It does not have to be big and in the center of the room, like in many other western countries. It should be simple, functional and simply to serve the purpose of getting your home warm and ready for winter.<br /></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">Alvar Aalto</span></b><span style="font-size: x-large;"> (1898-1976) is widely considered one of the masters of modern architecture and design. He was a functionalist who developed his unique style by combining rational architecture with a vividly organic idiom. His works are internationally acclaimed and landmark many Finnish towns from the tuberculosis sanatorium of Paimio to the university campus of Jyväskylä, the administrative centre of Seinäjoki town and Finlandia hall in Helsinki, to mention only few. Aalto’s furniture for Artek and the glass vase collection for Iittala are loved by design audiences all around the world.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>A true humanist</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Aalto’s approach to design included a deeply practical aspect: the design was based on human needs. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><i>“Form is a mystery that eludes definition but that gives people a sense of well-being.”</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Alvar Aalto touched upon something special when he created the simplified and free formed vase collection for the Karhula-Iittala competition in 1936. The objects were not only revolutionary in form, freeing the glass from its geometric own will, but they also left the user to decide what the object should be used for. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><i>“Beauty is the harmony of purpose and form.”</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">The vases were first introduced at the Paris World’s Fair a year later. The fair was a breakthrough for Alvar Aalto in industrial design. There are various interpretations of Aalto’s original idea for free form; for many, the shapes represent the thousands of lakes in Finland, with their winding shorelines. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>The most skilled craftmanship </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Aalto vases are mouth blown every day at Iittala, Finland. It takes 7 craftsmen, 12 work stages, 1100 °C and 10 hours to make a single Aalto vase. The skillful craftsmen of the Iittala glass factory have dedicated themselves to keeping tradition alive; every single Aalto vase is individually made.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Anniversary products</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">To mark the 80th anniversary of the Aalto Collection, Iittala is launching new products. The key sizes of the range will be available in nostalgic Emerald green. The colour refers to Alvar Aalto’s wife, Aino Aalto. A similar shade was present in the original Aino Aalto collection in 1932.<br /></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Words can't quite describe the euphoria and excitement experienced at the London Design Festival!

Designed to be played with, this super fun glassware can be turned upside down so that a vase can become a lantern when it’s not filled with flowers.

It’s crafted from a single copper panel which has been individually hand rolled and hammered. An age-old technique used by coach builders in the restoration of classic cars, enables the craftsman to form compound curves from a single flat sheet. Finished with a luxuriously soft aniline leather, the design ensures that the shell fits seamlessly with the form of a human body.</span><br /></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Elisa's Woven Pendants push the limits of glass technology. The lights are made of circular brass frames inset with two parallel layers of interwoven glass panes, which surround the light bulb, allowing glimmers of light to pass through. The interlaced pattern distorts the material's transparency, creating radiant optical effects. </span><br /></span><br />

They have a special “battuto” surface cut finish which imitates the ‘distressed’ effect of hammered metal. Rather than just describing a technique for working glass “battuto” signifies a way of being, a way of breathing, and expresses the beat of life.

The project began from her need to find a symbolic use for things which have been abandoned. As such, she has created a collection of hand-thrown ceramic plant pots that fit inside old glasses so both stem and roots can be seen. The result is a gorgeous visual statement of ceramic, glass, and greenery.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After 10 years of working with pattern and wallpaper, sisters Maria and Ekaterina Yaschuk went a step further to create a radical new concept that turns walls into light structures! LEDs are integrated into the wallpaper, allowing it to be used just like any traditional wall-covering – but with the added requirement of an electrical socket or switch. Together with the Trompe L’oeil design the 2D wallpaper gives the illusion of being 3 dimensional.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Humans weren’t built to sit a desk for 8+ hours a day, most of us don’t even sleep for that long! A study shows that sitting for periods of longer than 3 hours can decrease a man’s life expectancy by 20% and 40% for women! The TableAir is a height adjustable work desk that gives you the option to stand or sit and uses a sensor to detect the height of an outstretched hand. It then moves the desk surface up to match it. It can be paired with a smart-phone to automate a schedule for time spent sitting and standing, plus it has super cool colour-changing side panels!</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Stylish, snug and super soft, Designers Choice bed linen has been developed with the modern family in mind. Their range is simple and stylish, using colours and patterns that would be a comfortable fit in almost any home.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The fabrics vary from yarn-dyed stripes to textured cotton fabrics and simple, embellished percales. They also have a great selection of accessories that can be coordinated widely across the range to create your own look and style.

<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The simplicity of pure white combined with the repetition of pattern and shape creates a beautiful sense of peace and tranquillity. The baluster design references vintage Philippines, inspired by the mouldings used on ventanillas (little windows) to enable air to flow through traditional Philippines houses. Kish has taken this historical concept and created a beautiful, electric modern collection. This was by far our favourite product of the show.<br /><br /></span></div>

Such a happy little collection by an up-and coming designer! We predict Koa by Kaitlin is going to become huge in Australia over the Summer.<br /><br /></span></div>

The on/off switch is shaped like a turd that needs to be stepped on. The puppy is in its natural pose, looking around with a bit of surprise on her face. Love it or hate it, Whathisnames’ aim is to encourage the public to look at the surrounding world and question it in derisive, jeering way. I’ll let you be the judge.<br /><br /></span></div>

A terrarium is a small clear glass container filled with plants to create a miniature garden eco-system.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Low-maintenance and self-watering, terrarium plants get all the moisture they need from recycled water that disperses throughout the container. Typically the top part is closed and the front is open. Water from the soil inside the terrarium rises into the air creating ‘water vapour’. Vapour then collects onto the surrounding glass and cools. It then turns back into droplets of water which drip down into the soil and the whole process starts again! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #274e13;">U – Umbrellas:</span></b><span style="color: #444444;"> Bright and beautiful, colourful and cool - a garden umbrella might be just the splash of colour you need to make your patio pop! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Whether you have a preference for strong solid colours or vibrant patterns, there are many different options available. You shouldn't have any trouble finding the perfect parasol to compliment your outdoor décor scheme. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A garden umbrella could be the missing piece to your garden puzzle. To achieve a complete and overall stylish look, firstly, decide on what type of aesthetic and mood your garden conveys, then select an umbrella in a colour, pattern or style that helps to pull all of the other elements in the scheme together. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Not just for rain, umbrellas are made to create shade. Look for options that have UV protection marine fabric and come with a screw fastening and tilt function. This will help to provide protection from the sun no matter what time of the day. For breezy days, a canopy with double reinforced pockets (that are vented for wind release) will add strength and stability.</span><br />

There’s nothing more satisfying or rewarding than being able to nip out to the back yard to collect some fresh, enviro-friendly, GMO-free, organic veggies that you cared for and cultivated yourself. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A veggie patch offers a smorgasbord of colour, texture and fragrance. Choose from tomatoes, peppers, beans, squash, cucumbers, carrots, leeks, or leafy greens such as lettuce, chard and kale to create a living work of art. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Your veggie patch needn't take up a lot of space either. Simple garden boxes can be created and if space is really limited; boxes can be staggered or tiered (see image below). </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Avoid sewing too many seeds at once – you don’t want to feel overwhelmed. The trick is to start off small then gradually add to your veggie patch. This will allow you to better gauge how much time and effort you need to devote to your new edible garden.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Water features can be as simple or grand as you wish and are suitable for any sized outdoor space. There are options to suit every budget and definitely worth the investment. A wall mounted option is great for those with limited space, whilst a fountain or pond-less feature work well in a more spacious area. Both require very little maintenance but bring so much visual interest to a garden. No matter what your taste the design styles and finishes options are endless. Materials such as natural stone, textured glass, stainless steel, aluminium, mosaic tiles or pebbles are hugely popular and lighting can be incorporated to make the garden look magical at night.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Thanks today’s modern technology; water features can be designed to clean the air throughout the day, then automatically drain and refill with ‘Reverse Osmosis’ filtered water at night. It is also possible to have full control over the water feature, including the water speed, sound, and cascading water patterns!

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Pick a private, quiet spot within the garden away from high activity areas and traffic noise. You will need to have a relatively level surface where you are comfortable sitting, standing and laying down. A decking area is ideal; however, grass can work just as well. It’s a good idea to have the area already set up and ready to use. It will be far more motivating for you to have easy access to matt’s and equipment. Consider implementing clever storage solutions such as hooks, painted timber boxes, or a chest with an upholstered seat covered in a bright outdoor fabric would work well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #274e13;"><br />Z – Zen Garden Elements:</span></b><span style="color: #444444;"> Introduce a little East to your West with a few key Zen design elements! Taking cues from a Japanese garden will help to instil a peaceful atmosphere within your outdoor living space. It will also provide a tranquil place to de-clutter your mind and nurture your spirit. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A Zen landscape consists of simple, clean lines which avoid symmetry. In essence, the design should replicate the randomness of nature, alter perception and engage the senses. It should offer a sense of mystery and magic without being pretentious or unnatural, and just like a fine wine - it should improve with age. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Whilst a Zen garden doesn’t require or expect any single component, some common features that are typically depicted include; bridges, islands, ponds, streams, waterfalls, basins, sand, pebbles, stepping stones, sculptural rocks and plants, pathways, lanterns, bamboo fencing and Buddha statues.<br /></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When choosing task lighting for the exterior of the home, LED lights are a smart choice for their energy efficiency, longevity and wireless options. LED fittings are available for most standard types of lighting including; lamp posts, wall mounted, spotlights, recessed spots, uplighters and garden spikes etc. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Your source of decorative lighting can come from a range of products which don’t have to be typical forms of lighting, for example; a fire place will create a beautiful warm glow, a neon lit sign can bring about a sense of fun, solar powered floor lamps create a soft glow, hanging lights and lanterns strung across a patio, on trees and bushes or along the top of a deck will look magical at night, hurricane lamps look great when placed either side of a staircase and continued up every few steps, and last but not least; year-round outdoor standing lamps (which look like indoor lamps, but come with all-weather light bulbs and waterproof, washable shades) will create a cozy, homely feel.</span><br />

Here’s your opportunity to go modern, classic or kitsch. Items can be as simple as vases, pots and bowls or as elaborate as a life size sculpture or water feature. These items all work well as they provide a focal point and can be the source of a theme for your garden. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Before selecting outdoor art, consider your home's architectural style.

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The <b>classical</b> look lends itself well to objects carved from natural stone or cast in bronze, zinc or resin. Usually these statues are heavily influenced by the Renaissance in 15th century Europe and depict figurines such as angels, goddesses, mythical creatures or animals. Also very popular are bird baths, water features and urns. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Remember: simplicity is the key here – sometimes less is more, be careful not to overdo it. The accessories should enhance, not compete or detract from the natural beauty of the landscape itself. It’s best to select a few key items to add a pop of colour and add interest and intrigue. If you like a lot of colour and pattern – that’s fine, just make sure that the overall look appears balanced and harmonious, not confusing to the eye, busy, untidy or out of place.</span><br />

Scouring for salvage can be a lot of fun and is great way to express your creativity. Sourcing unique inexpensive garden art can be as easy as scouting out old items you own, or ask family and friends for anything they may no longer want. Visit salvage yards, garden centres or car boot sales and look for items that speak to you. Use materials as you find them spruce them up with a sand and varnish or fresh lick of paint. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Seek out charming rusted gates, grand timber doors, distressed window frames and shutters, or antiqued mirrors to create a statement within the garden. Re-use old wagons or wheel-barrows and wooden furniture such as a chair or dresser to display plants and flowers. Add a vintage looking bicycle, bird cages or horse saddle to create a sense of whimsy. A small claw-foot bath or galvanised tub can be filled with ice and drinks to create the perfect party ice bucket, the list is endless! These unique, unexpected items when placed creatively will transform from junk into spunk and enliven-your outdoor space!</span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>S –</b></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b> Solar Shading:</b> The most successful outdoor living space not only values the surrounding landscape, it offers comfort, shelter and sense of style – Selecting a good solar shading option helps to make this all possible! </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Solar shades are perfect for reducing sun-glare without completely blocking out light or obstructing your garden view. Not only will solar shades protect you and your family from harmful UV rays, they offer protection to furniture and fabrics and can protect the exterior of your home, making it more energy efficient. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Shading solutions are available in the form of retractable awnings, fixed or portable canopies sails and sun screens. They are made with solar screen fabric that is available in various colors, fabrics, weaves, and styles with varying levels of light blockage. Some shades (design permitting) can also include the added convenience of motorization, making fun in the sun as easy as pushing a button.</span><br />

Not only does it make entertaining easier (no more trips back and forth from the house), it can increase the value of your home. </span></span><br />

From a fully equipped built-in kitchen with all the added extras to a small free-standing grilling station with bench top and sink, there’s nothing better than being able to cook outdoors! </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Hi!! I'm Amanda "The Chefs Wife". A Perth food blogger that has known the lovely Sarah Louise before she realised her design and travel dream. I'm thrilled to be a part of her beautiful and inspiring blog. I've enjoyed Squeezed Daily and living my own travelling dream vicariously through Sarah and her vibrant photos.</span><br />

<span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">I'm married to a chef, who is on the Australian Culinary Team. He does a lot of travel himself to various cooking comps around Australia and the world. Together, we enjoy dining out and discovering new places. It's great to have a walking/talking food glossary on hand too! I hope you enjoy a few guest posts from us, now and then, as we eat our way around sunny Perth and the Margaret River Wine Region - Western Australia.</span> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I’d heard some excellent things
about the tasty food and fab location at Bib and Tucker. It was just my luck
that Perth has just had one of the wettest winters in recent years. The weather
was very relevant. As a blogger, I usually take something ridiculous like the
weather conditions into consideration, when picking somewhere to eat. This is
not usually a problem in one of the sunniest cities in the world. I had decided
I’d hold out for a super sunny day, for our first trip to Bib and Tucker.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The day we chose was gloriously
bright. Bib and Tucker, right on Leighton Beach, is a very welcoming place
indeed. It’s a stunning venue, inside and out, built on top a “surf club”. It
has a cool vibe, with a few quirky vintage touches. Its part owned by Olympians

from the snow white sand dunes, overlooking the pristine Indian Ocean. The
service was efficient and with a smile. Chef Scott Bridger’s philosophy of
fresh, simple, well-cooked food really works. Everything we had was brimming
with flavour.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The Sanchez Pizza ($27) Chef
really enjoyed his “Pizza”. It was topped with pulled pork, charred corn,
avocado, fetta, smoked chili and coriander.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The base was fresh and tasty; the toppings were delicious and full of
southern US flavours. There was just one sticking point. The size of the
portion. For the price we paid, we assumed we’d be getting a regular sized
pizza (we weren’t advised otherwise by the wait staff or the menu). It came out
as a kind of oval shape, as the dough had been twisted at the sides. This made
the surface area of the pizza much smaller and hence, much less topping. It
would have been half the size of a regular pizza. Chef had wanted a bigger feed
for lunch, but didn’t feel compelled to order more food, based on the prices.
As I said though, he was very happy with the taste.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

Australian slang for wearing your best clothes. However, part owner Eamon
Sullivan says that the Leighton Beach restaurant is actually named after two Western
Australian bushrangers who were "infamous for their fine threads,
rascality and rollicking good times". This theme is also reflected in the
stunning Bushranger-style mural, by local fashion illustrator Pippa McManus.</span> </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Think of a garden as having outdoor rooms with different
sections or purposes. These factors will determine what you need and what you
can actually place in your space. You may require areas to cook, dine, grow, play,
read, nap, exercise, swim, sun bathe, even bathe and of course relax! Most
importantly you must be able to move about freely around the garden. The space
should flow and not be cluttered in any way.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

ascertain how best to position plants, flowers and furniture. The type of
plants and flowers you select will depend greatly on the amount of sunlight the
area receives and of course your love of gardening. Do you prefer a garden that
is easy to maintain with minimum effort, or are you a real green thumb that
likes to spend weekends gardening?</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Think about introducing colour, pattern, texture and shape and
consider how these elements will relate to the overall feel of the area. Envisage

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">If you are trying to create a tranquil space with an overall
‘Zen’ feel, then introducing too many strong colours or bold patterns could
potentially overwhelm calmer shades of greens and browns. However, colour can
greatly enhance a space. Adopting even just a pop of colour will help to communicate
a harmonious planting scheme, add contrast and create a theme or focal point.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Repeating textures will help to
create a sense of harmony, however, you want to keep things balanced not
boring. Don’t be afraid to combine textures such smooth pebbles, shiny
sculptures, high gloss pots or mirrors to create a brilliant contrast against timber,
brickwork and foliage. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It may help to do some research
and select a style that you like to use as a guideline for the overall design.
There are plenty to choose from such as Modern, Contemporary, Vintage, Shabby
Chic, Rustic, Cottage, Coastal, French </span><em><span style="font-size: large;">Provençal</span></em><span style="font-size: large;">, English Rose, Mediterranean, Japanese, or the most
current trend - ‘Industrial Vintage’ which is an eclectic mix of rustic, factory-style
imperfection drawn together by an eye for a bargain. This is a great option of
you don’t want to be tied to an obvious style. </span> </span></div>

Unsure of how Montreal would compare to the likes of London or Sydney, I have to say I was astounded by the local talent. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Each of the high energy runway shows presented impressed onlookers with a richly eclectic visual feast. The refreshing designs combined a colourful equilibrium of artful, structural and fluid pieces; in solid block colours and a kaleidoscope of textures, patterns and prints</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">.</span></span><br />

Celebrating her 15th year in fashion, Jude's latest creations did not disappoint. Proving she still has 'killer style', the designer sent sexy, surf board yielding, wet suit-clad men sashaying down the runway to compliment her groovy 1960's '</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">California cool'</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> beach inspired clothing line. </span><br />

Dressed in all-white, the crowd serves a blank canvas; as the party continues a gigantic work of art begins to evolve. (Absolutely my kind of festival)!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Taking the place of materialism, music and dance are the very essence of Cuba. Traditional Spanish & African rhythms in the form of jazz, rhumba and salsa belt out through live open-air concerts held on the steps fronting the Casa de la Música. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Modern beats are found in Cuba’s most unique night hot spot Disco Ayala. Existing deep down underground, within a hill side cave, a play of colored light and shadow cascades over the eccentrically shaped stone interior to a musical concoction of hip-hop, reggaeton and salsa-disco. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">The dense cultural fiesta of Cuba evokes images of a decadent era now forgotten.

With an open mind you’ll most probably fall madly in love with the country, while being thankful you don’t have to live in it. </span></div>
