Kitchen Style

via remodelista

Does your kitchen reflect your personality?  What does the hub of your home say about you and your sense of style?   Some of my work lately has involved helping clients develop ideas for kitchen design.  I will be posting photos of some of Launcestons most stylish kitchens in the next few weeks.

Now is the time to register for the Shannon Fricke workshop at ecoco on September 3, bring a friend at half price.   Learn about colour and design, enjoy gourmet treats and take home one of Shannon's famous goodie bags!   Contact ecoco if you need more information or contact Shannon via her website or blog.

Shannon Fricke Workshop

Back online!!! Our computer problems solved, and no more trips to Melbourne!  In the last fortnight I have had a few trips away to furniture, design and gift fairs, glad to have that behind me, I am now looking forward to an exciting few months at ecoco.  I am looking forward to the changes we are planning for the shop and to the Shannon Fricke workshop on Saturday September 3. 



If you are interested in booking a place for the workshop visit Shannon's blog or contact the shop for details.

Shannon is an author and television presenter and is happy to pass on her decortating tips to you....

so don't miss out on this opportunity to learn from one of Australia's most popular designers, it will be a day of fun and creativity. 

In store today......

fabulous wall candy.....group a variety of designs and sizes together for instant interest and impact.

All handmade on our little island....there are some very talented people here! 

also new in store are the striking Swiss Army Recycling Collection bags from helveticus....  made using recycled Swiss Army blankets.  For over 100 years the Swiss army stockpiled blankets in bunkers throughout the Swiss Alps in case of war, in the 60s they began replacing the blankets with modern sleeping bags, so there was no use for the blankets, some of the blankets are up to 100 years old.  The bags are simple and well designed. 

we also have some more vintage file drawers and a new design of the recycled tyre tub in 4 sizes perfect as a plant pot...

and lots of interesting new books.....

Hope you have a lovely weekend!
