Small Steel Table by Conscious Design and Angle Table Lamp by WORKROOM.

Red Rata fabric from Homebase Collections

Homebase Collections' Hoki fabric is used for the drapes.

Here's a nice chilled out beach house based in Waimarama, New Zealand. Spotted via ES Design, most of the fabrics are by Homebase Collections - a New Zealand textile company. They have the Dick Frizzell Woodgrain, Red Rata and Hoki fabrics featured in this beach house. I also noted the white Small Steel Table by Conscious Design and Angle Table Lamps by WORKROOM.
I have profiled Homebase Collections before on CMID (see here), as well as the cool home of the Culy Family and their Seabreeze Beach House (see here and here).

Pappelina Rugs

The new black and white stripe Pappelina rug now located at my front door.

Over the weekend I was gifted a fantastic present from a friend in thanks for assisting her during her recent house renovations.
This is a Pappelina rug from Sweden and it fits perfectly at my front door. Designed by Lina Rickardsson, Pappelina stands for high quality, simple and functional design. The rugs are woven in traditional techniques at a weaving mill in Dalarna, however instead of linen, cotton or wool, they are made with plastic and PVC. This rug is soft underfoot and does not slip. It is washable, reversible and durable. And Rickardsson's simple and graphic designs completes the package.
