ten best things to own....according to megan morton

I've been pouring/poring/pawing (!?) over the pages of Megan Morton's Home Love this past week. I've learnt so much....who would have thought I'd now be running the words "French Hang", "puddling" and "wabi-sabi" through my mind whilst sitting in traffic?

To help enlighten the Target/Op Shop/Ikea entrenched mindset, she's handily included her ten best things to own for your home. {Actually, Ikea does get a mention which is encouraging}. As opposed as I am to bossy directives about what one should or must own, Megan Morton is actually pretty sensible for someone who moves in such fabulous surroundings most of her days.

So here's her list. It's pretty interesting.

Ingo Maurer's Zettle'z 5

Of course, this would be totally hopeless in our home as the kids would see it as a sort of interactive chandelier to be jumped up at and slapped at every opportunity.

Okay....so would I.

Zafferano glasses. Specifically the Tumbler 1117...which I couldn't seem to locate. This is the Scintille 3500, which is pretty glorious. Definitely for grown-ups.

Classic Bentwood chairs from Thonet.

Never out of style and utterly gorgeous.

Gervasoni's Ghost 09 Love-seat.

Hmm, looks fab, but I'm afraid those arms are far too mean-spirited for my liking.

I'm not feeling the love on this seat, I have to say.
The Cookie Monster-inspired Knodd pedal-operated bin from Ikea.

At $24.99 a bargain:)

Bathrobe from Alfresco Emporium
So practical.

Some say subway, some say butcher....

These tiles are divine whatever you call them.

You can even get them from your local Bunnings:)

I'm not understanding the glass cloche set up....how does it burn? how does the fragrance diffuse? Enquiring minds need to know.

From Caroma

I love that such a domestic item is included in her top ten.

So there you have it.

I have to admit, I think my top ten list would be quite different.

But in my maturity I am prepared to acknowledge that not everyone feels as strongly about Kmart ice cream bowls as I do.

Hope you're having a great day.

It's freeeezing today in Sydney. I have officially embraced my fluffy slippers and favourite grey marle Bonds tracksuit. Hmm...warm and fuzzy.
