What a Flirty Fler!

Today I made a fabulous find - a highback Fler Narvik armchair. These were designed by Fred Lowen for Fler Furniture in the 1960s. The timber colour and styling really complements my Parker armchair from the same era - without being too matchy matchy. Of course the upholstery will need to be updated one day, but for now the chair is totally serviceable.

Now that I have two Australian-designed and manufactured mid-century armchairs, does that make me a collector?

Hello and welcome!

After lurking on other people’s blogs for more hours than I care to admit, it was only a matter of time before I started one of my own. To that end I’ve decided to document my thoughts on things I make, like and do. And maybe I’ll meet some like-minded people along the way.

My personal design aesthetic is evolving, and I'm sure there'll be quite a few posts dedicated to my efforts to decorate my home. Not an easy task when you live with two boisterous boys who love jumping on furniture, and a husband who doesn’t like clutter.

 
To kick things off I've posted a picture of a little brooch I made for an online craft swap. It was made with wool felt and a vintage glass bead. I was so proud that I didn't have to buy any supplies whatsoever - a rare project indeed!
