Art Deco Staircase

There is nothing like an impressive staircase!

These are two different art deco staircases, one unrestored and another restored.

The unrestored staircase has a very simple wrought iron balustrate design while the restored staircase is more elaborate and swooping.

Goregous, Goregous, Goregous!

Below is a webite of a store that sell beautiful tiled mosaics - these are the images of Marilyn Monroe - I love the amazing detail shown.

They also have gorgeous mosaic tiled baths - they are very fancy but something about them, i just love. I couldn't manage to upload any of the bath images but if you go onto the website you'll be able to see the collection.

Florence Broadhurst

I stumbled across this article on 1969 featuring the Australian painter and designer, Florence Broadhurst.

Florence Broadhurst was very much a chameleon starting from being a performer in the 1920's and then a founder of an academy of arts in Shanghai. And then again in the 1930's reinvented herself as a fashion designer in London.

She came back to Australia in the late 1940's where she acheived success with her paintings but in 1959 she went into the wallpaper business where she experimented with pearl and metallic effects.

Florence noticed a trend in imported pheasant motifs and designed the exotic 2 feathered peacocks. This picture was taken of Florence in the 1970s in front of her famous design.

She was tragically murdered in her studio in 1977.

500 of Florence's designs were later picked up by another businessman who formed Signature Prints and are now available as wallpaper, fabric, homewares, accessories and limited-edition artworks.

In 1997 Signature Prints donated Florence's original artwork and silk-screens to the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney.

Printed Wood Flooring

The first manufacturer to offer a fresh concept in a somewhat conventional product, Model Hardwood features photo images printed on the surface of wood flooring. Coincidentally, one of the latest trends in interior design is the integration of 'brand identity'; making Model's S Series a valuable resource for designers looking for unique ways to incorporate custom images into their projects. With the S Series, images can be printed on any of Model’s existing series of hardwood or engineered wood flooring collections.
