Shop Online: Paterson and Steele

Thanks to an accidental 'stumble across' on Instagram, I found a gorgeous, brand spanking new online homewares store called Paterson and Steele. Apart from the fact that the store was devised by 'a design obsessed, self-confessed shopaholic' and 'a surf obsessed wine expert'(!), for me, what sets Paterson and Steele apart from other homewares stores is that their products have a story - they are handmade and sometimes end up going straight from an artist's studio into the store, meaning you are getting something new, original and lovingly made. They understand that a home needs soul, so they veer away from the mass produced and the ordinary. Their commitment to ethical sourcing and affordable prices is another reason to check them out, but most of all, I LOVE that they have an 'In the Doghouse' section on the site. If you are lucky enough to have a dog (a black staffy is on my 'one day' wish list!) then the Jonathon Adler collars and leashes will be right up your street! Here are six of my favourite picks from the store:

01. Dip Dyed Macrame Hanger Pink, $139 | 02. Jai Vasicek China Blue Cross, $125 | 03. Gloh Vessel Neon Pink, $35 | 04. Bone Storage Box Blue/White, $70 | 05. Algarve Cushion Natural/Neon Pink, $60 | 06. Hand Painted Antler White/Navy/Gold/Lime, $70

Plus, a pug (sadly, not for sale).  How could I go past a pug?!

Coasters by The Coastal

Is it weird to feel this excited about coasters?!  I discovered these beauties by The Coastal on Etsy this week and I literally want one set of every design (they have a wide selection so yes, this would lead to a somewhat unreasonable number of coasters in my home!). Each one is hand painted using eco-friendly, water-based paint and non-toxic sealants. They are heat and water resistant and backed with recycled cork. The crisp, geometric designs  are just what I like and on top of this, they make to order so you can email and select exactly the colour combinations you want. The only downside for me is that The Coastal is based in California so the postage is rather expensive to Australia, but these are so cute I can let that slide. Here are a few of my favourites...
