THINGS OWN YOU

Slacker

I’ve only written two posts (including this one) in November. I did go to Melbourne for a mini-break but that’s not really any kind of excuse. I haven’t really been doing anything remotely living design wise. The house is the same. No new paint colours.

I did get this beautiful Ben Frost print at the Trailblazers exhibition in Sydney about a week of so ago.

I can’t believe it took me so long to notice that this is actually a real Shepard Fairey Dexter poster. You can buy yourself one of these limited edition suckers here – if you can afford it!

Backyard Bliss

Loving this backyard I stumbled across on Flickr. Loving the shrubbery/mural/red chair combo. How very urban.

It’s always been a dream of mine to have graffiti in the backyard. And now I have my wish. With a little bit more love, I think my backyard could be even better than the funkiness above. Here’s how it (sort of) stands at the mo:

There’s still a lot of work to be done – finishing the rendering on one wall, finishing painting the other walls, finding furniture than wont get get eaten by the dogs, finding plants that wont get eaten by the dogs. At least I managed to chose a non-offensive colour to paint the walls!

In the mean time, here are a few other bits of backyard graf that useful inspiration. I know we can do much better though! Better get my roller ready for next weekend… There’s DIY to be done.
