Seasonal Concepts

I must have walked past Season Concepts in Redfern so many times as it's been there for around 2 years.
From out front it looks like a florist, nothing much grabs the eye. Walk a few steps in and you are in another world.
So much taxidermy and eerie objects the place could be a bit too creepy, but they stand against the prettiest of things that you are mesmerised to be in the store.
The website too doesn't do it justice, believe me the place is a stylist dream.
Could possibly be my latest favorite Sydney store.

I Ran The Wrong Way

Yesterday was blessed by the little kick you get from a small world experience that makes you feel like all the pieces are fitting together.
I'd been meaning to head into a cute new store on Cleveland St I Ran The Wrong Way and only when another store didn't have what I was after did I remember about this new shop.

When I entered, I realised I had previously worked with owner and founder Melinda Tually as she is another filmy who has moved into the sustainable design industry. Mel set up the store on a whim after a friend kept pestering her to check out this great space for lease. I understand why- the architecture in itself has so much character, and Mel has added to that with a warm eclectic mix of second hand furniture acting as displays for the vast mix of products.
She stocks Keep Cups, Bio PLates, Bholu soft furnishings and more.
This tiny store is loaded with so many green products it feels like you could keep looking for hours and still find something new.

Sydney classic

Cloth has to be one of Sydney's best sustainable homewares stores.
I remember when I first saw their products- I was working on a TV series and someone had bought some small woodblock prints for set dressing, I thought they were the best thing about the whole set! I've been a fan ever since and regularly try and squeeze them into a project I am working on.

Besides being so unique, the Cloth fabric range is so inspiring because it is all made using hemp and linen, in a small shed in rural NSW. The small batch production method sticks to the keeping it local theme.The shop also has a great range of reupholstered vintage furniture.

Love love.
