Sunday Afternoon ~ Christopher Farr and Vogue Living


It is Sunday afternoon here and it is very overcast and grey ..... so I thought a little pop of pink would be perfect .... I have just had these Christopher Farr cushions and lampshades done for our bedroom and they are so beautiful ....


Then I am just loving these pages in the latest Vogue Living Australia .... fabric and wallpaper on the left by Thibaut and then this gorgeous image of luxury textures .... all the roses are divine .... and the green is so fresh ....






I hope you have a beautiful Sunday .....
love M.A. the 2nd

Hollywood Regency Style "Pied-a-terre"


Keeping on my theme of Hollywood ..... this stunning apartment is owned and designed by the very talented Melissa Warner of "Masucco Warner Miller".  Melissa calls it her L.A. "Pied-a-terre".


The colours, the lightness, the textures and patterns .... everything is gorgeous!  I especially love the tufted sofa and mirrored coffee table.....


absolutely exquisite ..... the contrast of dark flooring and white painted furniture with the relief inlay front ...


perfect breakfast setting ....


perfect vignette ......

"Chronicle" ~ With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility


This week-end our eldest son, Alexander, was one of the actors in the new film, "Chronicle". 


Directed by the very talented Josh Trank, who we met in Sydney a couple of weeks ago, this film is incredible.  I know people will say "proud mum syndrome" and that is okay but the performances of all the actors especially, Michael B Jordan, Dane de Haan and Michael Kelly, were extraordinary.  This film with a modest budget has tugged at the heart-strings of people who want to feel in touch with what they are viewing ..... where they walk away feeling somehow changed by the experience ....


The final 30 minutes puts you on the edge of your seat and the world of inner city Seattle comes crashing down ..... there is a loss of control which leaves you feeling like you are on a roller-coaster and that there is a force that needs to be contained .... something which is unexplainable and ultimately beyond our control .....


Alexander congratulations from all of us ..... we are so proud of you ...... we have just found out that "Chronicle" has surpassed expectations and has topped the box office for this week-end and is the most viewed film around the globe.  Now I have to say good-bye to my next son, Dominic, who has been accepted into drama school studying a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Acting and may well end up in L.A. like his big brother ....
HOllyWood here come the Russell BOYs ..........

love M.A. the 2nd
