Goodmorning! The little one is napping away and I'm quickly popping in to say hello. I'm hoping to use the time while he is sleeping to curl up with a magazine and a coffee. One thing I absolutely love about the interior design course I am taking is that we have to collect and read interior magazines. Such a chore I know, ha!
I was attracted to the latest Real Living magazine because of the cover. I voted for this cover back when the Real Living team reached out to its readers to vote for last issue's cover and it is nice to see that they used this image for the April issue. I couldn't stop staring at the graphic black and white Missoni 'Jolie' bedspread and the dramatic black wall. The bedroom is that of interior designer Jacinta Preston. She has done a fabulous job with a bold black, white and red colour palette.
The bedspread is on my wish list but it doesn't appear to be available in black any longer. At over $1500 I would have to save for a long while for it anyway.
Okay, I'm off to read the rest of the magazine now.

I have a black bedroom wall and I love it to bits. What a pity that bedspread costs so much...sigh. Just about to start a design course as well...how nice to hear the magazine addiction is positively encouraged. Enjoy your morning break.
ReplyDeleteHi Viv,
ReplyDeleteIt's a goodie that one - enjoy! I'm giving away a copy of this mag for the next couple of months (including this issue) as I doubled up on a subscription (so April, May June issues, if that makes sense).
Here'a a link if anyone is interested. It's open to everyone:

GORGEOUS cover. I might just have to grab myself a copy now Viv. :)
ReplyDeleteHow terrible to HAVE to read interior magazines, lol! You must be in your element!! I've read that issue cover to cover, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed!!
ReplyDeleteLove this too Viv. I've just posted on black + white, and this would work really well with my artwork - maybe I need to investigate further!

Hi Viv,
ReplyDeleteReal Living is the one mag I buy each month. As I was engrossed in it recently, my husband asked what had my attention. I turned the mag around to show him the page with the bedspread on it! "That's what" I replied. He just nodded in a very understanding manner. Hope you enjoy a little quiet time while you read it.
Hi Viv,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely fell in love with that bedroom! I even wrote a post about it the day I received my copy of Real Living.

I have been dreaming about that bedspread for so long... I think it was a couple of years ago when I first saw it in Sydney's Myer store.
Have that magazine sitting next to me right now actually! I love the Jolie pillow on p. 14 but am so not prepared to pay $176 for it!
ReplyDeleteha, what a TERRIBLE job to do, lie in bed with coffee and read ALL interior magazines... I envy you girl!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a great cover and that bedspread is just amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a graphic black and white kinda-girl but if I were I would love that! Ha! I just loved the cover of this months Real Living because of the dog - it looks identical to my little Tess! She took the 5km drive down to our mailbox with me when I got the mag in the mail and (seriously) ruffed at it.
ReplyDeleteThe bedspread is amazing!
ReplyDeleteindeed that bedspread is superb. Would love to see that onto my bed.
