Dwell Studio and Robert Allen continue their collaboration, this being the fourth, with a new line of vibrant indoor/outdoor Sunbrella fabrics with catchy names like “Jungalow” and “Finmark”. The best thing about most of Sunbrella fabrics is that they can be cleaned with soap and water and many can be cleaned with bleach, so say goodbye to mold or mildew. View the entire collection here. pb

Her relationship and understanding of the landscapes surrounding her is evident in the surreal paintings that often depict humans being one with or emerging from nature.

Sleeping Beauties

All of these bedrooms have one thing in common, they all personify the style of their owners. Whether it be through a dynamic color scheme or the dramatic contrasts through the use of accessories, fabrics, and wallpaper, they all enjoy their own unique brand of personality. Many feel the bedroom should be filled with neutrals and whites to allow one to obtain the most restful night’s sleep and that’s all well and good, but I personally find neutrals quite boring and all white rooms make me nervous. I have learned that I crave color and drama to enjoy my surroundings. If you feel the same way here are some great examples of making a statement in your bedroom’s design. pb

These beautifully surreal illustrations are the work of Marta Bielsa of Madrid, Spain. I love them all but my favorites are the classic children’s portraits that also feature Furbys and Trolls and who hasn’t had a bad hair day like the one above? Visit the website or Behance to see more. pb

Marcello de Simone and Bruce Wayland created Little Owl Design in 2009 and both share interests in the fine arts, as well as art history, fashion, and of course, design. In the series “Altered Perspectives” they take fairly ordinary plates and pair them with paintings to create an extraordinary new look for upcycling with a twist. Be sure to also check out their line of unique Dutch Sky wallpaper which features photos they took in The Netherlands. pb

Brazilian Creative

Cristiane and Marcelo Rosenbaum, both designers, created the interiors of this 1960′s house with Brazilian folk art as the inspiration. Their main purpose was to show appreciation of Brazilian heritage, crafts, and arts. The pair did not stick with traditional surface options either, they actually created some of the coverings for the floor and walls, The end result is that they love the house and neighborhood so much that they rarely dine out, instead preferring to invite friends over to dinner “which always ends in a big party”. pb

Retro Collective

Tim and Neryl, owners of this home in Melbourne, met on the dance floor of a night club and are still rockin’ it today. The two artists share the home with their baby Ivy, Marvin the cat, and a huge collection of vintage signs, accessories, toys, and furniture. Although it’s hard to choose, my personal favorite is the awesome vintage bathroom and oh yeah, their car also rocks. pb

LLuis Barba’s “Self-Portraits” is both homage to the seven artists he considers the most influential in changing art history, such as Andy Warhol above, and it also a critique of our contemporary ironies such as “opulence and poverty, ignorance and intelligence, as well as mass consumption and the loss of identity that all suffer daily”. See more of his works on his blog. pb

Melbourne-based artist Kirra Jamison is lucky enough to occupy this two story warehouse building which provides plenty of room for her studio on the bottom floor and her open plan living space on top. Jamison has filled the space with colorful art, accessories, and plants, not to mention a swing. Who doesn’t want a swing in the house? I do. pb
