As I sat on a sofa next to Ola Wihlborg, I umm-ed and ahh-ed over whether to tell him I had previously owned (and only reluctantly sold) the sofa he designed for IKEA's 2017 STOCKHOLM collection. I did, and he was chuffed, even sharing that he currently has the same sofa in his own home. And while that's a sweet story, it's not the reason I found myself sitting next to the IKEA designer in Sweden a few months back.

I've always dreamed that one day I'll buy a property and rip up its drab and worn-out carpets to reveal original, mint-condition floorboards underneath. I find myself watching videos of people doing it on social media all the time — it scratches that itch. There's always been something about wall-to-wall carpeted spaces that just doesn't do it for me. Perhaps it's the fact I grew up in Australia and never really appreciated (or wanted) the benefits that come with having the soft surface underfoot.

Once upon a time, motels were the sort of places you would aim to spend as little time as possible in. They were mere roadside stops to rest weary bodies on the way to somewhere better and more exciting. But that’s changed of late, with many of these rundown highway pitstops being sold off and completely reimagined.

So while shopping at the mall with my friends last weekend, I found myself wandering off to my favorite section of the department store: fragrances and candles. And amongst all the scents sitting out on display, there was one brand that I couldn't stop sniffing: Glasshouse Fragrances.

I've always struggled with art. My partner and I have completely opposing taste, so we've never really been able to settle on something we both like. So when it comes to filling the blank spaces on our walls, I've had to get creative. The best solution I've found so far? Tapestries featuring lush and leafy verdure prints. It feels rather disingenuous to refer to tapestries as a modern fabric trend, but they are — the 600-year-old statement textile is having its moment again.
