Wishlist: Brass, orange, and see-through storage
has her keen eye on brass, orange, and see-through storage.
I’m sofa hunting at the moment, thanks to a new furry clawed addition to the family who thinks it’s great craic to use our current one as a scratching post.
I spotted this Danny 3-seater in Harvey Norman, it’s €499, the cushions are from €20 and the armchair is €449. I love the grey but I don’t know if the puddy cat would make short work of it... more of the new collection here.
I’m mad looking for vases at the moment. I spotted this gorgeous brass cast one in this lifestyle image set up at April and the Bear.
I’m into the whole Aztec vibe, any colour would look great in it. It’s €32 at April and the Bear.
I like the idea of see through storage, it’s nice to be able to see what’s there right away. Biccies, tea bags, herbs and spices, left over curry, these would come in fierce handy.
They are €3 each from Flying Tiger stores nationwide.
We love Irish made art on Wishlist and Wild Goose Studio has an exciting collaboration going on withWexford-based artist Nadia Corridan.
The collection features seven pieces, all in a bronze finish, and framed in a classic white and a contemporary grey. Nadia is a Fine Art Painter with a BA Honours from Limerick School of Art & Design, who was born in San Francisco and grew up near Kinsale.
The pieces she created for Wild Goose’s new collection were originally hand-drawn then sculpted in clay, before being cast in bronze and framed at the Studio’s premises in Kinsale, Co Cork.
More information about the Collection is available from the Wild Goose Studi: info@wildgoosestudio.com or 021 477 2622. Find out more about Nadia Corridan here.
Orange is my colour crush at the minute. I spotted these scatter cushions in Griffins Garden Centre in Dripsey and best of all, they’re waterproof and UV treated, so if you’re brightening up the garden furniture, you don’t have to worry about them fading, or getting soggy. A nice way to add a splash of colour. They’re €19.99, see here for more info and patterns.
Cork-based artist Cora Murphy’s first book celebrates ten years of painting in Ireland. The beautifully illustrated book was created, photographed, designed, printed and bound in Ireland and Cora has included a little essay on each collection in her own inimitable style.
There are only 1,000 copies of Home and each one is signed, with €5 from every sale going to the Simon Community to help fight homelessness. A gorgeous book for any coffee table. They are €20 and available here.
