pressed tin

2012-01-25T21:58:00.001+11:00

One of the things I never get tired of looking at in Bali is all the beautiful pressed tin. I have pressed tin boxes large and small scattered around our home as well as pen and pencil holders and magazine files in the studio. I'd cover our ceiling in it if I could...

mignon kitchen co

2012-01-25T21:54:00.000+11:00

Oh-so-pretty foodie things to be seen and had at Mignon Kitchen Co... and of course the white on white candles are my favourite.

Beautiful packaging and branding too, I might add.

striped shirt portraits

2012-01-25T10:31:00.000+11:00

Mary Matson's whimsical striped shirt portraits... Make me want to wear more stripes.

simple candles

2012-01-24T15:05:00.000+11:00

I spotted these beautiful French votive candles in Honey Bee Homewares yesterday, love the simple, tactile design.

new things coming soon!

2012-01-20T07:24:00.000+11:00

I am now working ever so hard to get lots of pretty new paper goods and supplies ready including a wholesale line of note cards, tags and papery goodness, and a range of custom wood mounted rubber stamps with pretty illustrations. I'm hoping to begin introducing our new line in the autumn (here in Australia).

I'd love to know if there is anything you'd like to see included in our goods, or anything you'd suggest?

At home with Follow Studio

2012-01-18T16:19:00.002+11:00

Late last year I was ever so lucky to meet stylist Megan Morton at our home in Manly to shoot a little story for Grazia magazine, which is out this week. It was so amazing to meet Megan and watch her at work, she is just so lovely.

Thank you Megan, and of course photographer Jason.

p.s. I am hoping to get the photographs from the shoot to show you all, along with the story from Grazia, but I've only got a couple of little old me at the moment (and I am super shy to be putting this one on here)...

pandan house, seminyak

2012-01-11T20:03:00.000+11:00

While in Bali we were oh-so-lucky to be staying at Pandan House, a beautiful little private villa for two with a dollhouse feel - all the lovely wooden sliding doors can be closed in or completely opened up bringing the outdoors into every room.

Pandan House was designed by the lovely Annelies of Cafe Bali, whose stunning Seminyak home I have loved ever since I saw it in Living Etc a few years ago. One look around and you can see the thought and detail which has been put into every corner of this space too, making it beautiful and functional. Sigh... so much inspiration.

Happy 2012

2012-01-11T12:02:00.000+11:00

Hope you had a beautiful Christmas and New Year. As for us, we spent the holiday in Seminyak, Bali, no phones or email, just peace and joy! More details from our beautiful villa coming soon...

Back in the studio I have big plans for 2012, we'll be expanding Made to Measure and launching a brand new paper goods line. We'll also be working hard to make the Follow Studio website better and more beautiful than ever... I can't wait, let's get started!

in the studio

2011-12-23T07:41:00.001+11:00

It's here! The last day in the studio for 2011. Follow Studio will be closed from today until January 9.

Thank you all for your support and love throughout the year, it's been so amazing! I'm looking forward to sharing lots of exciting things with you in 2012.

Love and luck. xx

Noel...

2011-12-23T01:39:00.000+11:00

Next Christmas I really am going to try my hand at making some little feather and nail angels, inspired by ladyinthetower.

simple style

2011-12-21T12:14:00.000+11:00

If your looking for a simple way to dress up your Christmas table without too much fuss, this year we used these natural beeswax candles from Queen B simply displayed in recycled glass bottles (ours are Antipodes).

More happy wrapping: natural textures

2011-12-20T23:52:00.000+11:00

Although I'm obsessed with white wrapping, natural textures are still my all time favourite. Kraft paper lolly bags, natural linen thread, tape and brown paper boxes. Oh how I love it all!

Last day for Once Wed giveaway!

2011-12-20T15:47:00.000+11:00

Just a reminder if you have yet to enter our Once Wed giveaway tomorrow is the last day!

ghost lamp

2011-12-20T12:55:00.000+11:00

I've been seeing these ghostly sheer fabric and wire lamps in so many spaces lately, so beautiful.

Via April and May

happy wrapping!

2011-12-19T22:27:00.000+11:00

This Christmas I'm all about white cotton string, mini wooden pegs and glassine bags... and looks like I'm not the only one, our cotton string balls and mini peg bags have been flying out the door. Happy wrapping everyone!

Here we go!

2011-12-19T08:59:00.001+11:00

And just like that it's the last week in the studio for 2011. What a year it's been! I'll be sharing a few more Christmas posts and bits and pieces this week, then I'll be signing off for the year. We'll be back for a new year on the 9th of January.

A little holiday fun found on pinterest.

hardware

2011-12-15T15:56:00.000+11:00

Lately I've been looking for some new wall hooks for our home. Ever since I was little I enjoyed visiting the local hardware store, it must be something about all the little hooks, nails, pulls and handles all arranged and displayed. I still find and collect anything hardware related that is traditionally and beautifully made - although things like that are so much harder to find now.

My favourite sources for beautiful hardware are Baileys (above), Fog Linen and Anthropologie.

A Follow Studio Christmas: On the Table

2011-12-13T07:28:00.000+11:00

On the table at our Fête editorial - our wooden cutlery sets all wrapped up in translucent envelopes tied with linen string, hand-stamped muslin bags and lots of pretty sweets.

A Follow Studio Christmas: Gifts + Paper Goods

2011-12-13T01:40:00.000+11:00

Our gifts that featured in our Fête editorial are wrapped this year with our cotton string and white paper, finished with blind letterpress gift tags (designed for beautiful Mosman boutique Pond).

If you've never visited Pond's two Mosman stores, you really must! They are a personal favourite and carry the most lovely refined pieces in a perfect Follow Studio palette.

A Follow Studio Christmas: Flowers + Story

2011-12-12T19:34:00.000+11:00

Words from our Fête editorial...

"When you work for one of the country's most stylish designers, it's a pretty good bet the annual Christmas party will be something special.

We asked Jessie James, the creative force behind Follow Studio, how she plans on celebrating her office Christmas party. Her take on the festivities is like a breath of fresh air – there is something quite special about a little bit of calm around Christmas. Jessie fills us in on the details, "My aesthetic is natural and ethereal but still a little rustic.

Lots of white-on-white textures, with bursts of fresh pastels – it’s my version of a white Christmas – Australian summer style". When Jessie lays down this spread for team they will be set to enjoy delicate sweet treats and Champagne as they celebrate the year that was. "For our Christmas I like everything to be simple – nothing too formal or traditional, lots of beautiful festive details and a little bit of indulgence. And of course, gifts! A simple but special celebration of everything Christmas – gifts, crackers, decorations, lights, food, family... peace and joy!"

A Follow Studio Christmas

2011-12-12T18:11:00.000+11:00

On Friday the beautiful Fête was launched with a special Christmas issue - I am so proud to have our Follow Studio Christmas editorial featured alongside some of my design and style favourites - Sibella Court, White Wall Photography and Fête's very own Annabelle Kerslake and Jane Cameron.

If you haven't already you must hop over to see Fête for yourself, it is really the most stunning magazine, I can't wait for the next issue in February and the print annual in 2012!

I'll share more photographs and the story from our editorial this week. This was my first time going solo with the design, styling and photography, so I'd love to hear what you think!

white elephant stall love

2011-12-09T08:31:00.001+11:00

I was just pouring over the archives of Odessa May Society and happened to find a little love for the White Elephant Stall - I always get a little rush when I see others like my work.

Thank you Odessa May Society!

wrap

2011-12-08T12:31:00.001+11:00

In case our Christmas shoot sneak peek didn't give it away, I'm all about white on white textures for gift wrapping this year, something a little different from my usual kraft paper and string. Love the simple, crisp and oh-so-elegant look.

White wrap inspiration - top: Annaleena's hem bottom: fryd + design

snuggle up!

2011-12-08T11:10:00.000+11:00

So we're now having the coldest December in half a century here in Sydney, feels like winter again! Time to snuggle up again for a while, seems like it might never stop raining!

Pretty pic from Bodie and Fou.

Fête magazine

2011-12-07T11:59:00.000+11:00

I've been waiting to share some exciting news, and I'm now so happy to introduce Fête - a magazine dedicated to making everyday a party. Follow Studio is so proud to be involved in such a beautiful concept - that's our Christmas table editorial on the cover of the Fête press kit.

Fête's launch issue is on it's way (online and free!), and I'm looking forward to sharing the rest of our Christmas shoot with you all. Head on over to the Fête facebook page to become a fan and be one of the first to see when the issue launches on Friday.

labels with love

2011-12-06T10:52:00.000+11:00

Lately we've been doing lots of creative packaging projects - labels for jam jar favours, sewn glassine bags for confetti, flag cut tags for kraft lolly bags... so when I saw this lovely label idea from Jacqueline Morabito at Bodie and Fou I thought something like this could be perfect for packaging something beautiful with simple, elegant detail.

paper flowers

2011-11-25T12:01:00.000+11:00

On my Christmas wish list: hand made paper flower garland from Toast. I think I would love one with metallic silver string, but the red will do too!

oh-so-soon

2011-11-24T09:54:00.000+11:00

A peek at a little something we've been working on for something oh-so-exciting coming soon. Can't wait to share and show you all more!

into the calm

2011-11-20T08:12:00.000+11:00

Love this calming space with it's creased dove grey linen, textured white throw and chair-as-occasional-table. Sigh.

From Father Rabbit.

Turkish lanterns for Christmas

2011-11-17T22:26:00.000+11:00

I'm so in love with these, the most beautiful Turkish lanterns with patterned tinned copper ends joined with natural cotton. So perfect for Christmas or a special event, I just had to add some to our supplies store offering. Limited stock available here.

ikea love

2011-11-16T08:40:00.001+11:00

Love Stella Nicolaisen's styling for Ikea, so pretty and ethereal.

herriott grace

2011-11-10T22:35:00.001+11:00

Herriott Grace, I love you. Such simple, beautiful pieces... I just wish I could have the cake too! Perfection.

form and function

2011-11-10T17:09:00.000+11:00

Wishing I had a lovely metal hanging rack like this to hang my clothes from, wouldn't it just make washing so much more fun?

From Father Rabbit (although I'm pretty sure they are selling the beautiful Fog Linen cloths, not the rack!)

simple storage

2011-11-04T09:28:00.000+11:00

Dear H&M, why do you have such lovely simple storage goodies that I can't have all the way down here? Sigh. Just look at that metallic cotton drawstring bag.

Made to Measure on 100 Layer Cake!

2011-11-03T13:35:00.000+11:00

Thank you to 100 Layer Cake for their Follow Studio and Made to Measure love! So exciting to see our humble paper goods out in the world!

anthropologie christmas

2011-11-03T13:29:00.000+11:00

Love all the quirky Christmas ornaments at Anthropologie! I think the narwhal is probably my favourite.

almost time to count down!

2011-10-31T09:38:00.000+11:00

It's almost time for the Christmas countdown if you can believe that! This year I think I'll do something a little different with the advent calendar (and maybe the tree too, I'm thinking a hanging branch or cardboard cut out) something like this simple driftwood slide counter I came across on Pinterest would be perfect - simple and unfussy.

Made to Measure Set no.6

2011-10-29T11:33:00.000+11:00

Last but not least from Made to Measure - set no.6, with half moon cuts and parcel tied envelopes. I hope you've enjoyed this little look into our design foundations - see all the sets and more information on Made to Measure and how to order here!

Made to Measure Set no.5

2011-10-28T12:13:00.000+11:00

More from Made to Measure - set no.5 designed to feature one of our custom rubber stamps. Made a little more rustic with natural white card and burlap twine, or more classic with pure white and jute twine.

fresh

2011-10-27T11:16:00.000+11:00

This summer I think I'll try my hand at making my own pot set yogurt. Doesn't this look so beautiful and fresh?

Via Pinterest.

Made to Measure Set no.4

2011-10-26T04:22:00.000+11:00

More from Made to Measure - set no. 4 French market inspired in chalky whites and faded black. Designed with our hand glued envelope labels.

sparkles

2011-10-25T13:09:00.001+11:00

When I was little, I had sequin ballet slippers that were pretty much the best thing ever. I think I could recreate that with these silver sequin cushions.

Made to Measure set no.2

2011-10-25T08:12:00.000+11:00

More from Made to Measure - set no.2. Designed to be minimal, delicate but still simple and a little rustic. Perfect to add details like a custom rubber stamp or hand lettering with a cute parcel tie around the envelope.

Made to Measure set no.3

2011-10-24T12:58:00.002+11:00

More from Made to Measure - set no.3, which features our very own handwritten lettering. You can choose any of our twines or strings, but I think the natural linen thread is perfect with this foundation design, natural and a little rustic, but still delicate and simple.

Made to Measure set no.1

2011-10-24T12:11:00.000+11:00

Introducing Made to Measure set no.1, from our wedding and event paper goods line. I'm so excited to finally have photographs of our six foundation designs up on the Follow website. Set no.1 includes very special limited edition kraft paper button and string envelopes, and once they are gone, they are gone!

Take a look at all our foundation designs here.

bellocq tea atelier

2011-10-20T11:26:00.000+11:00

Love the look of Bellocq tea's pretty canisters, wouldn't they look lovely all in a row.

kraft paper envelopes

2011-10-20T09:33:00.002+11:00

Our signature kraft brown paper envelopes will be in the paper goods and supplies shop later today, they come in packs of ten (all tied by with string), in three sizes for all your correspondence whims.

little wings

2011-10-19T16:45:00.000+11:00

This oh-so-beautiful minimal iron and feather angel just reminded me how very close Christmas is getting... Can you even believe it? 2011 where did you go!

2011-10-18T09:14:00.001+11:00

A little detail from Amanda & Andy's wedding we worked on at Nielsen Park yesterday, our rustic hessian bunting (in the paper goods and supplies shop soon) decorated with the most beautiful paper daisies by Melinda Tualima. Can't wait to show you all more!

in the paper and supplies shop

2011-10-13T13:43:00.001+11:00

Just a couple of new pretty things into the Follow paper and supplies shop today - kraft paper lolly bags and boxes, linen thread and pouches.

A few new things over at The White Elephant Stall too, but you'll have to be extra quick for those, it's all limited stock.

oh to dream

2011-10-08T23:22:00.000+11:00

Everything about this oh to dream bedding set from Anthropologie is just so heart warming. So much detail in each piece... I'd also love the 'sleep tight' pillow on it's own, so sweet!

born to be a star

2011-10-06T22:24:00.000+11:00

Some people are born to be stars, and Steve Jobs was certainly one of them. Thanks for everything and farewell.

So much inspiration to be had on Anca Gray's tumblr... I hardly know where to look first!

lisa madign store

2011-10-05T22:11:00.000+11:00

The Southern Highlands are a favourite of mine to visit and I've been dying to get back there, especially to Berry- and now I have even more reason with Lisa Madigan's new store opening up there. Part store, part gallery and soon to be creative workshop space, so much to love.

Can't wait to see it for myself, one day soon I hope!

ashley skjaveland: photographer

2011-10-05T13:26:00.000+11:00

The last little while I have been working with beautiful Canadian artist and photographer Ashley Skjaveland on her logo, branding and website. It has been such a gift to be introduced to Ashley and her work, so much inspiration. Light, love and texture perfection.

white balance

2011-09-30T14:36:00.001+10:00

I am having just the most awful time working on the white balance of the Made to Measure and Follow paper goods photographs, no matter what I do nothing is looking quite right... so please bear with me, the wedding line photographs are coming oh-so-soon, I promise! In the meantime the beautiful mo+mo living is keeping me inspired.

hearts and stars

2011-09-28T17:40:00.001+10:00

Love everything about this... especially the heart place cards and silver stars. Sigh.

By Forever Love.

Simple and natural wedding ideas

2011-09-15T08:36:00.002+10:00

Today I'm over at Once Wed - and I love what my posts have been named - what else would I call my inspirations and style than 'simple and natural', two words that I try to live by. Today's post is an inspiration board for the wedding I would plan today, and the rest of the week will feature an inspiration shoot by Follow Studio, Lauren Michelle and Melinda Tualima inspired by this.

I had so much fun putting this together, I hope you all like it!

One of my all time favourite images from the inspiration board, by Corrie Bond.

Once Wed

2011-09-13T14:44:00.002+10:00

I'm so honoured to have been asked to guest blog on the amazing Once Wed this week, from Wednesday (Northern Hemisphere time) you'll find me over there writing about what is inspiring me at the moment and what my wedding would be like if I were to do it again today. I must admit this has been perfect for me, since our wedding in January I have often thought about what I would do if we could do it all again!

I would love it if you could stop by and say hello, and can't wait to hear what you all think.

hello spring flea!

farewell to wedding style guide

2011-09-05T11:52:00.002+10:00

Today I was hoping to be sharing the exciting news that I had been waiting since February to tell you all - that our wedding was featured in the Spring issue of Wedding Style Guide magazine, out on the stands right now... however instead I have the sad news that Wedding Style Guide has suddenly closed it's doors, most likely for good.

I have felt so lucky to have worked with Jane (of A Magazine Moment) on editorial stories over the years and I am so very sad to see them disappear from the stands. Thanks for the inspiration, Wedding Style Guide. You will be missed.

Love this idea of recreating an old tin tub as a linen covered ottoman. And if the base is removable I think it would be just about perfect! By Recreate.

Letterpress cards and hand calligraphy we designed a little while ago for My Lens of Love - simple, natural wedding photography.

In the Good Company studio today... and our little website has launched with much more 'muchness' (to quote the Mad Hatter) about our creative nest. We're open by chance or by appointment, but please don't be shy, everyone is welcome!

design. paper. places.

2011-08-22T14:26:00.001+10:00

A little update to our custom design portfolio on the Follow Studio website - there's now a separate book for paper and one for places. A wedding book is coming soon too, and so much new work to share! And keep an eye on our online work, so many beautiful and inspiring clients to showcase.

rustic and recycled

2011-08-20T11:07:00.007+10:00

Rustic and recycled - two of my favourite things... and I just love old exposed tapwork, so functionally beautiful.

Victorian beauties

2011-08-15T15:52:00.003+10:00

One of the first things I do when starting a custom wedding project is take a look at the couple's chosen ceremony and reception venues to get an idea for what it will look and feel like on the day. Lately I've been seeing some of the most beautiful Victorian venues, and I am now totally in love with The Stables at Stones and Merrick's General Wine Store (above). Such simple, rustic perfection.

I noticed yesterday that What Katie Ate has posted a little Melbourne round up including some oh-so-beautiful photos of Merrick's General too.

all the pretty colours

2011-08-12T07:32:00.001+10:00

Beautiful, rustic colours from this Californian ranch wedding on Green Wedding Shoes. Love those country hues.

natural polish

2011-08-10T16:15:00.000+10:00

I'm a little bit crazy about polished concrete slab bench tops at the moment, which I've seen mostly in rustic kitchens (I think I'll have to do this in my own kitchen at the next opportunity), but now I've seen this... I just love this bathroom, it's functional and natural but has a beautiful sense of polish to it too (excuse the pun!). Perfection.

Mandarin marmalade recipe card designed for Belinda Black Catering. Love this as a wedding favour idea, how amazing would it be to go home with your own little jar of home made jam? Cards and jam available from Good Company and Love, Loans and Linen.

dreaming...

2011-07-28T10:35:00.000+10:00

I've been dreaming about Anthropologie's Italian Campaign canopy bed... Oh why don't we have anything even close here in Australia?

winter blossom high tea

2011-07-28T10:26:00.004+10:00

We had the most beautiful afternoon celebrating the opening of Good Company a couple of weeks ago, despite the cold and rainy weather, it was warm and cozy in our little nest! Thank you to everyone who came down to say hello, we're go glad you did. Our next open day will be a Spring flea, so we hope to see you all again and meet lots of new friends in a few weeks time.

apolis

2011-07-22T20:49:00.000+10:00

Oh how I love Apolis. After seeing them on Simplesong a while ago, I've been in love ever since. Everything they do is simple, functional, beautiful... oh and Apolis + Matteo... heaven.

made to measure...

2011-07-14T20:29:00.009+10:00

Busy busy shooting our wedding and event line Made to Measure. Can't wait to show you and hear what you all think... just wanted to check in with the sneakiest sneak peek from today.

small space love

2011-07-13T11:41:00.000+10:00

There's something about beautiful small spaces that I am just so drawn to... give me a little cottage over a grand mansion any day. This little space is so calming with it's textured whites and just a hint of rustic metal and wood. Sigh.

les petits bohemes

2011-07-13T11:34:00.000+10:00

Some very lovely things for little monsters from les petits bohemes. Especially love this guy, not sure what he is, but it just looks the way I feel sometimes, and that's somehow comforting!

Inside Good Company

We'll be celebrating with tea and sweet things from Belinda Black Catering from 11am - 3pm, so if you are around Palm Beach come and say hello!

Good Company at the old post office shops - shop no. 4, 1065 Barrenjoey Road, Palm Beach.

katrin arens

2011-07-11T13:04:00.000+10:00

I've just discovered the beautiful work of Katrin Arens through Country Style Magazing, and then realised that I've loved her work and her home and seen it all over already. I would so love to be able to make my own furniture and reclaimed beautiful things, and I would want it to be just like this.

viktoria + woods

Hello Viktoria + Woods, what beautiful, classic staples you have. I can't quite believe I have just discovered you!

the white elephant stall

2011-07-04T16:26:00.004+10:00

We're having a little White Elephant Stall over here, a collection of some of our favourite things we've collected on our travels far and wide, which will be changing often with lots of one-off finds and hand made bits and pieces. We hope you find something you love.

Also, since we've had a few people ask already, we will ship whether near or far, but if you are not from Australia we do ask that you contact us first for a shipping quote.

happy friday!

Hope your weekend is a good one... another working weekend ahead at Follow Studio!

pretty, simple

2011-06-30T18:57:00.005+10:00

It's the simple, yet thoughtful things that I find are often the most beautiful. Like these soy wax candles in glass storage jars by Toast. In love.

white and wood

2011-06-29T08:56:00.003+10:00

A little winter's day inspiration in my favourite combination, white and natural wood. Love that little figure on the stairs too!

a magazine moment

2011-06-28T03:05:00.000+10:00

I've just discovered a magazine moment, the beautiful blog by Wedding Style Guide's Jane Cameron. If you love Wedding Style Guide as much as I do, you'll really love the sneak peeks behind the lens, into Jane's home and on her travels. This lovely images are from the garden grown story in Wedding Style Guide's winter issue.

P.S You might see a hint of our Follow paper goods that featured in this story. More of these coming soon!

le labo

2011-06-27T11:55:00.002+10:00

One of my favourite New York places would have to be perfumery Le Labo, visiting their Nolita store was truly a beautiful experience. The interior is meticulously styled, the packaging is lovely and the mixed-while-you-wait perfumes in scents like Jasmine and Tuberose are just beautiful. I chose Jasmine for myself.

More shots on our Facebook page.

happy friday!

Hope your's is a good one. Mine will be a happy working weekend... so much to do!

Oh and this photo is from my current favourite spot at Good Company. More, more, more soon!
