I'm 27 and live with my bf in a little apartment about 10 minutes out of Sydney City. Starting to study Interior Design & Decoration this year (2010) at Design Centre Enmore (very hard to get in so very EXCITED!!) My day job (office manager for property re-development) is very VERY boring and not having a creative outlet has been very draining on me personally so I'm hoping to increase my creative activity during my course and getting back into swap-bot after a bit of a break!

Here are some of my photos below

one of my favourite magazines is FRANKIE! I haven't come across another mag as special as this. not only is the content awesome but the finer details as the print and even the stock they use. I also enjoy Dumbofeather - very inspirational it's just sad it only comes out quarterly!! and then I enjoy Real Living because it's always bright and happy and has plenty of ideas for interiors!

I'm a huge fan of Florence Broadhurst wallpapers and think it's sad that people prefer painting their home with block colours instead of awesome wallpaper (I remember as a kid watching my dad wallpaper my bedroom and the hall way - he was very clever :D) I love modern geometric patterns in vibrant colours but I also love ancient asian tribal looking themes. Art deco is hot, B&W photographs are awesome, I collect postcard art flyers with interesting & exciting artwork.

I also adore Frida Kahlo. I recognised paintings before but never knew who did them, then Salma Hayek made 'Frida' and I made a point to see it (after hearing that BEAUTIFUL soundtrack) and just fell in love with her and all her work, the vibrancy and the honesty you can't compare to anyone else.

• Anything Jungley
• Funky Geometric Patterns (think 80's)
• Intricate Designs (i.e. wood carvings)
• Miniature Anything (I think it has to do with the intricacy deal, I love attention to detail)
• Anything from Kikki K. (A stationary shop)
• Art Deco anything
• I am obsessed with Palm Trees, nothing says relaxation like Palm Trees
• I have a thing for anything tropical as well
• Anything by Florence Broadhurst
• Fabrics worth framing
• Funky Homeware shops
• I do love stationary in general but also storage for stationary!
