Floral inspired images abound in this issue, from Victorian floral printed Dr. Martens to the Paper Blossoms pop-up book by Ray Marshall.

This issue has tons of clever and inexpensive ways of decorating with and displaying flowers; for example, zigzag-fold white paper and wrap it around bottles. It looks gorgeous with a simple spray of green.

I love this room below from an Overberg farmhouse; its tropical wall scenes and quirky treasures are priceless:

Liezel Strauss, a South African art and design consultant living in Japan, began a fund raiser to help the victims of the earthquake and resultant disasters in Japan. She created a My Japan facebook page and asked people to submit their favourite photographs of Japan which would be sold and the proceeds donated to the Japan Emergency Network. This issue of Elle Decoration is worth getting, if only for these poignant images which tell a story of the hope and inspiration found in a beautiful country. Visit the My Japan site to find out more.

I’m smitten with this feature by Anna Loubser: it’s bubblegum pink and full of fun… that black & white striped dress from Habits is lovely, not to mention the floor delicately decorated with floral teacups.

A while ago I featured the delicate and simple creations by local girl Lorrae Mehmel of Tamarillo Ceramics. I was thrilled to see them featured here:
