<br />
Continuing on where I left off yesterday with a selection of Vancouver
design stores... starting the tour in the east, on Main Street, before
heading into the city of Vancouver.<br />

If you
ever had a pen pal as a child, you will love The Regional Assembly of
Text! 12 year old me would have loved the button making station, or the
typewriters set up to type a letter to a friend. (Let's be honest,
grown up me thinks it's pretty neat as well!) There are quirky
postcards and original cards for sale, as well as a tiny nook for
reading tiny books. And yes, they have a letter writing club as well.
Adorable.</div>

Further
down Main Street is the adorable home store, Nineteen Ten. You will
find a mix of vintage, up-cycled, hand made and modern homewares here,
including purses made from vintage, iconic Hudson Bay blankets, timber
and marble chopping boards... plus it was exciting to see they stock <a data-mce-href="http://turncowoodgoods.com" href="http://turncowoodgoods.com/" target="_blank">Turnco Wood Goods</a> made by some personal friends.</div>

Also on
Main Street is my personal favourite, Vancouver Special. (The store
derives its name from home from the period of 1965-1985... basically a
two story rectangle box with a low pitched roof, balcony stretching
across the second level at the front, brick exterior on the lower level
and stucco exterior on the second.) Vancouver Special specialises in
contemporary furnishings including Muuto, Norman Copenhagen, Alessi.
They also have a wide range of design books which can be very dangerous
if you love design and books!</div>

Love
eclectic cafes? Love window shopping for handmade items while you eat?
If so, then Le Marche St George is where you will want to be. A short
walk from the shops on Main Street, Le Marche St George is perched on
the corner of a residential neighbourhood. Pastries and other treats
are served up on silverware, just begging to be Instagrammed!</div>

While waiting for a table at <a data-mce-href="http://www.catch122.ca/" href="http://www.catch122.ca/" target="_blank">Catch 122</a> just next door, we popped into <a data-mce-href="http://www.stylegarage.com" href="http://www.stylegarage.com/" target="_blank">Stylegarage</a>
on West Hastings. I loved the thread of Canadiana that runs through
their products; from their furniture being signature, made-to-order, to
the Prairie tables (yes, three individual tables in the shape of
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, click <a data-mce-href="http://www.stylegarage.com/products1/accent-tables/prairie_tables/prairie_tables.shtml" href="http://www.stylegarage.com/products1/accent-tables/prairie_tables/prairie_tables.shtml" target="_blank">here</a>
to see them), to the stylish cushions by Nicole Tarasick. I don't know
why I walked out of the store without buying the YVR cushion, but have
since discovered that they are also available through <a data-mce-href="https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/NicoleTarasick?ref=shop_sugg" href="https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/NicoleTarasick?ref=shop_sugg" target="_blank">Etsy</a>
should you not be able to get to the store. I'm always on the look out
for beautiful table lamps, as I find them hard to come by... they stock
gorgeous ones by <a data-mce-href="www.caravan-pacific.com" href="http://www.donnavercoe.com/blog/wp-admin/www.caravan-pacific.com" target="_blank">Caravan Pacific</a>. Sadly, because of the voltage in Australia, I couldn't bring one home. :(</div>

Saving
the best for last is the beautiful Old Faithful Shop, also in Gastown.
It occupies the space of a landmark building. Original industrial
detailings have been maintained and black and white photography of life
in 1900s Vancouver decorates the back wall. Enamelware, glassware and
pottery lining the wooden shelves with the brick wall as a backdrop is a
visual feast.</div>

After

around the block from the Old Faithful Shop. Though I don't know how
relaxing it is, because they are pretty serious about their coffee!

toilets. Yes, design inspiration can be found anywhere!)</div>

Vancouver Shops + Stops | Part One<br />
<br />
It's not often you hear of people escaping a chilly Australia
for a sun-drenched Canada, but that was exactly what I did when I
visited my old hometown of Vancouver in July for the first time since departing
two and a half years ago. Vancouver summers are just delightful with
their long, warm days, sun-drenched patios overlooking the water... and I
had forgotten how gorgeous the hanging baskets are!<br />
<br />
Even though
it was predominantly a family trip to tie up loose ends, I made some
time to check out some shops and cafes for design inspiration. It's a
big post, so it has been roughly divided into two parts; east and west.
This post focuses on the east; from UBC to South Granville.<br />

While
exploring outside the Museum of Anthropology, I came across an event
being set up. I wanted an invitation to a party that involved tents,
lanterns and scatter cushions! How gorgeous would it be when the sun
went down and you would have the lit interior of this Arthur Erikson
designed building as your backdrop?<br />

Having
had fallen in love with Butter Baked Goods before I left, I had to visit
the new cafe on Mackenzie Street this visit. The interior of pistachio
green joinery and pink tea rose wallpaper brings back nostalgic
memories of visiting grandma, as does the delicious bars and
marshmallows. I was given the Butter Baked Goods cookbook as a gift...
the cupcake recipe with its tips including using pastry flour and
sifting ingredients onto parchment paper makes you feel like you are
baking like a pro. Oh, and the cupcakes are so amazing, they almost do
not need icing. Almost!</div>

I had
driven past this brick apartment building at 12th and Granville for
years, often admiring the terracotta pots of flowers hanging from the
windows. I had almost walked by again, but window boxes of petunias in
the window of the restaurant at ground level caught my eye. Upon closer
inspection, I noted that the restaurant had undergone a renovation
since the last time I was in town. I had to have lunch just so I could
sit and take it all in. The kale Caesar salad did not disappoint
either. In fact, it was the single most delicious salad I have had in a
long time. Homemade Caesar dressing and cornbread croutons will turn
you into a kale lover.</div>

After
all that exploring, you will need an afternoon pick me up. Thankfully,
there is never a Cactus Club Cafe too far away. The Raincoast Greens
salad is welcome sight to any traveller whose eating habits are all over
the map. The ceviche, pictured here, is refreshing as well.</div>

I have just realised I am halfway through my interior design course and haven't shared anything yet! Unlike my first courses where I was oversharing. Here's an image of my concept board for my house design. Now, that may be why you haven't heard from me... I have to design and spec the interiors for a four bedroom house. Not feeling panic at all! <br />
<br />
I do like the concept board approach... it conveys your vision for the project, helps you stay on topic and helps you come up with original ideas. I have so many ideas brewing... I had better go get them down on paper!DVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16986123794765539819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13836112.post-60714235709177776202013-12-12T16:52:00.000-08:002013-12-12T16:52:25.473-08:00The Merry Rose - CafeI keep meaning to update this blog with my commercial café assignment. As it turns out, I won the Highly Commended Laminex Commercial award for this design last night, so thought I had better get it posted, pronto!<br />
When we received the plans for the café, I noted that the layout was similar to the café that is located in Lyne Park, Rose Bay (just down the street from me). I decided to locate the café there (the joys of imaginary clients!) and the rest fell into place!<br />
<br />
The back story to the commercial café design was a family who had worked in the restaurant industry and now wanted to open their own restaurant. I decided that my family should be transplanted Americans (again, taking creative liberties!). There is a large representation of different nationalities in the food industry in Sydney, yet not so much American food, not counting fast food. American food from the South would work well in Sydney, given that they are both similar climates. The menu was the first thing I developed.<br />

Lyne Park is located on the edge of Sydney Harbour, so it has the double treat of a leafy park on the water's edge. In doing my market research, Rose Bay has a couple of high end restaurants in The Sailor's Club and Catalina, and numerous coffee shops and take away shops. What it is missing is somewhere in the middle, where families and people can gather to relax and enjoy the scenery. Inspired by the harbour setting and the leafy park, I settled on a "Nautical Picnic" theme.<br />
<br />
The setting:<br />

Picking a colour scheme was the next step. Navy was the obvious given, being the official nautical colour! Inspired by the blue and orange in the previous Temple and Webster styling assignment, I added orange to the scheme, along with a touch of aqua. Also, subconsciously, I think I was inspired by American sportswear designers Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren. (Funnily enough, post assignment, I was walking through the mall and spotted the orange and navy theme in the Ralph Lauren window!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A few months ago, we had a school excursion to Materialised, who design and print commercial fabric. We were shown how we could design our own fabric using Dulux colours to match. I then designed three different striped fabrics for picnic rugs and cushions using Dulux colours; Flamboyant Orange, Blue Mercury and Royal Battle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The rest of the design unfolded from there:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jardan for picnic tables, café tables and bench seating. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Di Lorenzo for a fabulous timber tile and subway tile behind the bar. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Like Butter wooden milk crates assembled into storage shelving behind the bar. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Basil Bangs umbrellas for the terrace. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And my personal favourite... Walk the Plank for the bar stools. (A local Sydney company.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And the name... some quick brainstorming with some friends (I am fortunate enough to have some intelligent friends!) and the name "Mary Rose" came up. The Mary Rose was Henry VIII's battle ship. (Though the Mary Rose was sunk in battle... hopefully my café fares better than that!) A quick switch of Mary to Merry, and The Merry Rose was launched!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The final design... apologies for the iPhone pics... grabbed quickly before it was handed in!</div>

Whoops... forgot to blog this one - I only completed it about a month ago! Temple and Webster is an online store and they shoot their product in house. As a class excursion, we visited their offices, had a presentation on styling and photography and were then given a brief to work to. Included in the brief were two cushions we had to sell. We had to design a scene around the cushions, source props and then design that scene. It was a contest, and the winner one a week's work experience at Temple and Webster. I didn't win... but did find it a very useful exercise in planning and creating a photo shoot. I will let the pictures and board tell the rest of the story!</div>

<br />
The brief was to design a bathroom for a busy working couple in their 30s. They wanted something luxurious, but also easy to clean. Separate basins were also required as was a bath tub.<br />
<br />
My starting point was concrete tile that I sourced through one of the tile suppliers who supports the school. This tile is gorgeous... in situ, it looks like concrete formwork. Yes, I have developed a love for concrete thanks to swimming pool design days! Actually, swimming pool design practice came back to me while working on this project. We used to consult with architects on change room layouts. Two things I applied to this project were small mosaic tiles for the floor (small tiles allow for more grout lines to create grip for bare feet) and separating the space into wet and dry areas.<br />
<br />
In reviewing the layout, I realized I had the space to separate the space into male and female sides, therefore meeting the brief for separate basins. While sourcing the concrete tile (which was to be used as a feature wall on the female side), I also fell in love with some marble tile, which had some grey through it which linked with the concrete tile. The octagonal marble tile was to be used on the floor, and the square tile to be used on all vertical surfaces and in the walk in shower. Around this time, I had seen a Jamie Oliver food video where he had a timber bench top... and I had to have that too! Slowly a palette developed into what I unofficially called "rustic luxury". The design developed into rough and smooth, light and dark, squares and curves, old and new; his and hers. (I titled it 'lui et elle' because with the addition of the Bentwood chair on the mosaic tile, it reminded me of the French bistro in Sydney CBD, Felix.<br />
<br />
Some detailing bits: the shaving mirror over the male sink is rimmed and hung with a brown leather strap, the square vessel sink sits on a walnut bench top, there is a window over the tub which looks out onto a private garden (with high walls and a locking gate!), the female bench top is sparkling white Corian with integrated sink; the make up counter to the left is also Corian and connected to the bench space, a walnut Bentwood chair for use at the make up counter, the mirror over the female sink has integrated LED lighting and the ceiling light is an Italian glass chandelier. (You have to love clients with deep pockets!)<br />
<br />
If I have missed any details, I am sure you can piece them together in the images below. Now, I only hope I can put as much detail into the commercial space that I have to design by the end of next week; of which I have barely started. (I feel panic setting in!)<br />

Only took some 90 hours of sourcing, paperwork, hair pulling, teeth gnashing glee to pull it all together! Should get easier from here on in!<br />
<br />
Client Brief<br />
<br />
Busy couple with two children<br />
They have travelled extensively and particularly love... (I chose Morocco). They have collected many treasures from this area which they would like to incorporate into the new, contemporary scheme.<br />
Mood required - warm, modern, individual.<br />
Colour palette - in the mid tonal range. They like richness of colour and texture and don't mind feature walls or wallpaper. They don't want an overall scheme that is too neutral.<br />
They love good food and entertaining friends., enjoying the alfresco lifestyle in summer.<br />
A more intimate atmosphere - possibly with a sense of drama in the dining room - is required for winter and more formal dining.<br />
<br />
I created cupboards for storage and entertaining along one wall, opened up the rooms to the enclosed terrace with bi-fold doors. That way the children and their puppy (!) can move freely within the space. The front door opened straight into the playroom, so I added a console, stool and coat rack for guests to place their things. The drama in the dining room is that spectacular table... and large mirror reflecting the lemon tree outside. The rest is self-explanatory, I hope!<br />
<br />
I love these colours... Porter's Paint Bee's Knees and Dulux Milton Moon... and plan to paint some chairs very soon to see how the colour turns out when painted!<br />
<br />
PS... these look much better in person, so if you ever want to stop by and take a look... let me know ;)<br />

If you are following me on Facebook, you will recall I inundated my newsfeed for a while about my chair assignment for school! We had to research 16 chairs over time... I started with the Louis chairs, through Art Deco and Art Nouveau to modern chairs. It was such a great learning experience. Not only did I get a real grasp on the chair designs, I learned some history, politics and goss at the same time! (Le Corbusier drowned in the sea in front of Eileen Gray's house in the South of France!)<br />
I went with a library theme for the assignment. I wrote up the 'library cards' in Excel and printed them on cream card stock. For the 'library pockets', I traced a template out onto black card stock, cut them out, folded and glued them together. I drew in the chairs on the front of the pockets with a white gel pen from Kikki K. I had to buy a mug from Kikki K in order to get a box the right size to fit the cards. I covered it in craft paper and added the label. And yes, that is the Dewey decimal number for chairs. (At least it is according to the Internet.)<br />
<br />
I wouldn't have considered drawing the chairs a year ago... but that's the 'willingness to try' that I have learned since starting at ISCD! There are 16 chairs, but I've only photographed some of them, as seen below. Some others are a bit dodgy, to say the least. Let's just say, if I ever need a chuckle, I can always pull out the chair assignment box!<br />
<br />
Since I spent so much time and energy researching and writing about chairs, I have included the writings from the cards following the images.<br />
<br />
Next assignment is Lounge and Dining... just have to get all the ideas out of my head and on to paper!<br />

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Louis the 14th, aka Louis the Great, ruled France for 72 years, 110 days. Louis was a great patron of the arts. He supported artists and craftsmen. It was he who increased a hunting lodge built by Louis XIII into the magnificent Palaceof Versailles. Furniture from this era is marked by heavy, masculine forms, opulence and great volume. Chairs were formed with curved or turned legs, straight backs, fixed upholstery in tapestry, brocade or velvet and had carvings of mythology and acanthus leaf.</div>

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The heavy, masculine furniture of the Baroque era gave way to the lighter, more feminine Rococo era. Stretchers were removed from chair designs. The curved cabriole leg and scroll foot were used at length. Common back styles included round, crossbow, central indentation and double indentation. In keeping with the elegant lines of the era; shell, flower and plant decorations were used as well as C scrolls and S scrolls.</div>

LOUIS XVI - Neoclassical</strong><br style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;" /><em style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.5;">France, 1774-1792</em></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Inspiration for the Neoclassical era came from the discoveries at Pompeii andHerculaneum. Marie Antoinette was the wife of Louis the 16th and had great influence on furniture at this time, having had smaller pieces designed for her rooms at Versailles. Greek influence meant a turn from feminine curves to straight, angular lines. Chair design was restrained: seat backs were medallion/oval shapes/square-backed fauteuil. Fluted legs, carved friezes, the Greek band, oak and laurel leaf dominated the designs.</div>

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The Victorian era was a time of great change. The design world exploded with all sorts of products based on cultural influences and new technologies. One chair that rose from this time is the<br style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;" />Bentwood chair. Its shape borrowed from the natural world that influenced design of this era; its construction owed to the advancement in technology. Thonet’s No. 14 was made up of six pieces of steam-bent wood, ten screws and two nuts. The Bentwood, or cafe chair, was the start of mass-produced chairs.</div>

<strong style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;">5. Arts & Crafts</strong><br style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;" /><em style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.5;">1860-1910</em></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The Arts & Crafts era was a backlash response to the Victorian era and the Industrial Revolution. Mass production was putting the remaining artisans out of business. Arts & Crafts could be best described as handmade items inspired by nature. William Morris was the artist and writer who founded the style. Perhaps the most iconic piece and copied of Arts & Crafts movement is the Morris chair. The design features a reclining back and high, un-upholstered arms. The seat back and seat have unattached cushions.</div>

<strong style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;">6. Art Nouveau</strong><br style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;" /><em style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.5;">1890-1910</em></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Art Nouveau rose out of France at the end of the 19th century. It is a decorative style; inspired by nature and characterized by swooping curves, stylized organic forms, dreaming women with long hair. Art Nouveau furniture was slimmer and lighter than its Arts & Crafts cousin. It was made of sleek wood, and often detailed the sweeping lines of plant stems and grasses reminiscent of the Art<br style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;" />Nouveau artwork.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<strong style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;">7. Art Deco</strong><br style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;" /><em style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.5;">1910-1930s</em></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Art Deco can be found in the golden period between the two World Wars. Travel was on the rise and was a strong influence on design. Art Deco's strong geometric forms most often looked likethey were going somewhere. This is representative in the Wassily chair by Marcel Breuer at Bauhaus. The triangular seat and square frame give motion to the shape. (This chair was inspired by the seamless tubular steel of Breuer's bike, and was originally held together with canvas straps; later replaced with leather.</div>

Breuer worked with tubular steel in furniture design. The B2 chair, or Cesca side chair, is a iconic example of his work with tubular steel and cantilever mechanisms. These technologies allowed him to push the boundaries of chair design; negating the need for 4 legs and allowing for a modern, clean line in chair design.</div>

He is considered one of the pioneers of modern architecture. His Chaise Longue LC4 chair is modern ode to the daybed of the 18th century. It consists of a steel-coated base, curved frame with a padded leather mat and headrest. The adjustable frame allows the occupant to move from an upright position to a reclining position.</div>

Along with Le Corbusier, and others, he also pioneered modern architecture. He designed the Barcelona Chair along with Lilly Reich for the International Exposition in Barcelona. With its steel frame and sloping tufted seat, it remains a modern design classic to this day. The original chairs had reflective chrome legs and ivory pigskin cushions, but was later redesigned with a stainless steel frame and bovine leather cushions.</div>

They initially designed using molded plywood, but moved on to pioneering technologies with fibreglass and plastic resin. The Eames' were interested in creating high-quality, low-cost mass marketed chairs. The DSX Dining Chair was a molded plastic side chair; a runaway success which remains popular as a dining chair to this day.</div>

He was a close friend and partner of the Eames'. His Tulip chair is an iconic, futuristic piece. It is also molded to the human form; a simple tulip shape belying a more complex construction of fibreglass, aluminum and plastic. Saarinen wanted to create a clean, classic piece; a chair without four legs as he thought the legs to break up the clean sightline of modern design.</div>

His designs are simple, classic and elegant. This is evident in the Swan chair, which he designed in 1958 for theRadisson SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. With organic, sweeping curves creating the armrests and the back; no straight lines were used in this chair design. The chair's shell is made of a molded synthetic material covered by a layer of cold foam, and sits on an exposed satin- polished aluminium base.</div>

He envisaged a chair without legs! With advancement in plastics, his design idea was brought to fruition. The curved, cantilevered chair made from one continuous piece of plastic caused a sensation when it made its first appearance in the Danish magazine, Mobilla. The materials of the chair have gone through several formulations to reach the current sleek design of rigid expanded polypropylene with a lacquered surface.</div>

He practices biomorphism design; which is to take naturally occurring shapes and push them to their limits. The Lockheed Lounge echoes the daybed of the 18th century, and even Le Corbusier's Chaise Longue LC4. The lounge looks like a cross between a blob of mercury and the body of an aircraft. Following its appearance in Madonna's video, Rain, the aluminium chair became a collector item.</div>

With his Ghost chair, the design has come full circle back to the Louis chairs of the French monarchies. While the shape is decidedly 18th century, th technology is definitely 21st century. The Neo-Classical chair shape is constructed in clear plastic; a ghost of the royal courts of a long extinct French monarchy.</div>

The starting point was a throw cushion in the client's favorite shade of blue, and the room developed from there. (The cushion colour was a match to Dulux Wave Jumper, which is a lovely blue/green colour... but very hard to get it to show correctly on the computer screen.)</div>

Whoops. Have overlooked these pictures I took in Lyne Park, Rose Bay back in May... just down the end of the street from my place. I have quite a few things to blog, but it's that same old refrain of too much to do, too little time. I was dreaming today of having my own webmaster! So many ideas brewing in my head... would be nice to have someone to execute it for me. For now, I'll putter along, uploading ever so slowly!<br />

I entered the Interiors Addict 7Vignettes Instagram contest again for May. You may remember I entered the one for April as well. It's a great creative challenge; and the ones which I had no idea what I was going to do, ended up being my favorites... such as the 'Labels' one! It takes a long time to set up and shoot each photo... still undecided if I am going to do the June contest.. time will tell!</span></span></span>DVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16986123794765539819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13836112.post-21404984252196920482013-08-26T05:29:00.000-07:002013-08-26T05:29:02.391-07:00Autumn in Cronulla<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; border-collapse: separate; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; border-collapse: separate; color: #444444; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><a data-mce-href="http://www.donnavercoe.com/blog/2013/04/18/autumn-in-cronulla/img_9806-web/" href="http://www.donnavercoe.com/blog/2013/04/18/autumn-in-cronulla/img_9806-web/" rel="attachment wp-att-2674" style="color: #ff4b33; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter wp-image-2674" data-mce-src="http://www.donnavercoe.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/IMG_9806-web.jpg" height="400" src="http://www.donnavercoe.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/IMG_9806-web.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 12px; max-width: 640px;" title="IMG_9806-web" width="400" /></a></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial;">Only 30km south of Sydney, Cronulla is a lovely spot to head for a long walk on the beach if you need a break from city life. This autumn has been fabulous... not as windy and humid as it was a couple of months ago. The water temp has heated up over summer and is like bath water. A dip in the ocean is pure bliss!</span><br />

The first time I came across The Interiors Addict site, I was searching for the opening date for West Elm at Bondi Junction. (2 May... not much longer to wait now!) Then I attended an informative blogging course at the Sydney Writer's Centre where she was the instructor.<br />
<br />
If you follow me on Instagram, you have have noticed the #7vignettes hashtag accompanying some of my pictures. 7Vignettes, is a fun, styling competition organized by The Interiors Addict and each month has a different guest judge. I decided to give it a try this month and thouroughly enjoyed the creative process. At school, we have got very technical all of the sudden... intense research into fabrics, window treatments and floor coverings. All necessary things, but not entirely creative. So it was fun to put my learning to the test and create a vignette each day based on the associated word for each day. Following are my photos for each day with a background store on each.<br />

Have a good week!

The wedding was on a beautiful property a few miles away from the teeny town. A creek runs through the back of the property and citrus trees dot the landscape.

Sydney autumn light shines soft and golden; a nice change from the direct, overhead, hide-no-flaws summer sunshine. Surry Hills thrives in this light; it’s brick buildings and hidden alcoves glow. I lived in Surrey, BC (Canada) for most of my life. It was named after Surrey, England as it reminded one of the founders of his native home. Surry Hills in Sydney was named after a farm in Surrey, England. (Somewhere along the line, they dropped the ‘e’. I am a bit of a fan of connections, so visiting Surry Hills makes me feel a little more ‘at home’. Here are mix of Instagram and SLR photos from a Saturday afternoon walk a couple of weeks back. We checked out a few shops at the top of the hill, then explored a fun rooftop terrace market, complete with balloons!DVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16986123794765539819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13836112.post-6044052415367591822013-08-26T05:00:00.001-07:002013-08-26T05:00:16.015-07:00G&T Party<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First physical styling assignment for my Interior Styling course at ISCD... to style an area of your home. Since I was in the middle a move, this proved slightly problematic on the furniture side of things. A desk was put into service as a buffet table and some more items were borrowed, including one very gorgeous lounge chair. Forgotten treasures were located in packed boxes. A trip to the florist for flowers and the newsagent for balloons and it eventally came together. <br />

When I started the intro to Colour and Design back in October, it was this blissful journey of painting and reflection. Everyone in the class looked forward to Fridays as that was our time to shine!<br />
Then came the bridging course. The catch up course that would enable me to enroll in the interior styling course in Feb. 5 weeks to cover ground they recommend taking 6 months to do. I whizzed through the assignments, wishing I had time to appreciate them. There is still an assignment outstanding which I've not even had a chance to look at yet.<br />
<br />
I started the fast track interior styling course last week and it has been a bit of a nightmare. Granted, there was a wedding, moving and looking out for an invalid father in there, but still... I was not enjoying myself. It felt a lot like, well, work. Going to the second class yesterday, I was already behind in the work. However, in the class, I clued in that I didn't need to break my back to get through the course. Come on... it's not rocket science... what's the rush?! I could switch over to the Friday class and work at a slower pace... 1 chapter a week instead of 2. After all, isn't this supposed to be fun? I want to take time to absorb it and really understand it instead of plowing through and presenting half finished work. It pays to listen to that inner niggle, and adjust life accordingly. Doing my the work today, I am back to enjoying the process!<br />
<br />
Enough about me!<br />
<br />
I wanted to add that I plan to make some updates to this site. In doing so, I'll be retiring some of the school blog posts as they aren't all that professional!! I think I will save to book format... preserve the memories!<br />
<br />
That's it from me for now... enjoy your weekend!DVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16986123794765539819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13836112.post-18910224745532628972013-08-26T04:45:00.001-07:002013-08-26T04:45:20.595-07:00Lesson 7 - Industry Reference File<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

"We're not in Kansas anymore," was the thought that went through my head when I read up on Lesson #7. The painting and drawing fun is over... time for a reality check. Time for some industry research and a lot of typing, formatting and general hair pulling. Anyway... I think I've learnt something along the way... if it isn't to start a database as soon as possible. A hard copy file is a bit old school... but you live, you learn! At least Lesson 7 looks pretty in its Kikki K grey binder!DVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16986123794765539819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13836112.post-18612103945530790132013-08-26T04:43:00.001-07:002013-08-26T04:43:18.399-07:00Lesson 6 - Calligraphy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'll say this again... I feel like I am rushing through this course too fast to take everything in. There is one section on calligraphy and it's quite interesting, but I had to rush through it to get to the next assignment. Again, not overly happy with my artwork... I think it looks like grandma's tea towel! Oh well, live and learn. (I realize I am making a few excuses, when I should just own it. I am excited to share my spatial design though. That's far more interesting; and relevant to what I want to be studying!)<br />
For the botto<br />
m photo, I had to create my own letter from a font and paint it with a tertiary color. I thought I'd try something new and give florals a go. Like I said... I think it looks like a nana print... but it is something new that I wouldn't have tried three months ago.<br />
<br />
OK... I will stop apologizing now!<br />

Finally... I got around to figuring out the greeting card. I must say, I like the original pattern... but I had to stylize a natural object and paint it with complementary colors. Here is the final outcome... I'm still reserving judgement...DVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16986123794765539819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13836112.post-30544660422552766002013-08-26T04:38:00.000-07:002013-08-26T04:38:53.174-07:00Checking In<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Like what I've done with the place? Is it any wonder I can't think straight! I looked up from what I was doing the other day and noticed the mess! I have 9 assignments due to be handed in at the end of this week as I start the next course next week! (There's a 10th assignment due as well, but I am giving myself some extra time to get it right.) There are a few fun things to share, but nothing is quite completed to show yet. Wish me luck in sorting it all out... I am swiftly running out of time!DVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16986123794765539819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13836112.post-25143172755303881602013-08-26T04:35:00.001-07:002013-08-26T04:35:23.664-07:00Lesson 5 - 3D Spatial Design<br />

3D spatial design assignment: to show understanding of spatial knowledge, and to design a light for the room. This room was created from a mock brief from a 14 year old girl. Purple is her favorite color, so complementary colors of yellow and purple were chosen. There’s a bed, a workstation as well as an area to hang out with friends.<br />
<br />
Room construction: foam core<br />Bed: popsicle sticks<br />Bedding: fabric covered sponges!<br />Headboard bookcase: foamcore styled with buttons and a mini camera keychain<br />Blind: folded fabric and string<br />Large bookcase: foamcore styled with a teddy, shell, Christmas ornaments and magazines made from newspapers… it’s really hard to style on such a small scale!<br />Bean bags: fashioned after a large knitted bean bag spotted at Koskela… filled with rice.<br />Trestle desk: Popsicle sticks, foam core and paint<br />Chair: Hard plastic from the glue gun packaging, two ends off a coat hanger and a bit of hot glue.<br />Walls: More painted popsicle sticks<br />Rug: Pieces of felt dipped in different colors of mixed gouche paint<br />Lighting: 40 pieces of vellum cut out in the shape of a Frangipani petal and glued to the end of a pencil crayon.DVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16986123794765539819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13836112.post-6185402315872540112013-08-26T04:30:00.001-07:002013-08-26T04:30:22.034-07:00Lesson 4 - The Design Process<br />

After being creatively stumped on the last lesson, it was good to move to a clean slate for this session. In Lesson 4 we had to take a household object and develop a mind map from it. From that, we had to create five products and a light design. I chose a wooden rolling pin from the utensil drawer. Little did I know the humble rolling pin would generate so many ideas.<br />
<br />
From it, the mind map, I came up with a homemade baking cafe, complete with a table with wooden legs and a marble top, a stool, wood grain wallpaper and take away packaging. (This was a fun exercise and hope I get to develop it further in a future class!)<br />
<br />
I had to create a light design from the rolling pin as well... can you spot the reference? The final design is a cafe light that comes in natural wood or white ceramic with a choice of interior colors: Bondi Blue, Bilgola Sunset, Gumtree Green or Harbour Mist.<br />
<br />
I am flying through these assignments and feeling like I am not giving each the attention they need! Still six assignments to go before the end of January. Wait till you see what the next one looks like!DVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16986123794765539819noreply@blogger.com0
