Kitchen Design Ideas 2015: in the press

I've been waiting very impatiently for the latest issue of <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.ivyandpiper.com.au/#!magazine%22">Ivy and Piper</a> to go live.... it's a fantastic magazine, put together by the very talented local duo of Melanie Parker and Elizabeth Raptis. But even more exciting is that one of my favourite local shops, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.hamptonshomeliving.com.au">Hamptons Home Living</a>, has been featured in the latest issue. And if you look closely, there's some artwork on the walls that you just might recognise.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisBXySi46vehtS8ZxbpoR_D-I-s9D6iM-87jyKvPEHhmsLkcs7j6xSk6fvCswCMlY3uRQrcjDXVVJ39kN2_zZqmaTFUJJ0nUNa2bzR8v2z9pFQHxzySS51vrGKPA0j1C4dGAT8Ovp8W1Ll/s1600/hamptons+ivy+and+piper+june+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisBXySi46vehtS8ZxbpoR_D-I-s9D6iM-87jyKvPEHhmsLkcs7j6xSk6fvCswCMlY3uRQrcjDXVVJ39kN2_zZqmaTFUJJ0nUNa2bzR8v2z9pFQHxzySS51vrGKPA0j1C4dGAT8Ovp8W1Ll/s1600/hamptons+ivy+and+piper+june+2011.jpg" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">..do these blue and white prints look familiar?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRwO2xksOegMZsW89IV7GSR6fJXvP08r3PphsM9w7kQvkfKeysfand_v-K6qFfInO0-oA3c2EORlsk95GcRSw87Lp-bVE-_PGrha8fj3MnjPwm-HxkNMUq7jT1P4rYG4pOfHC0PNTiGdSA/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-06-08+at+6.15.50+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRwO2xksOegMZsW89IV7GSR6fJXvP08r3PphsM9w7kQvkfKeysfand_v-K6qFfInO0-oA3c2EORlsk95GcRSw87Lp-bVE-_PGrha8fj3MnjPwm-HxkNMUq7jT1P4rYG4pOfHC0PNTiGdSA/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-06-08+at+6.15.50+PM.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"> ...sea fans in charcoal displayed amongst all of Hamptons gorgeous wares</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiplyUGAz1wcYiKpzuUUCKohcpH7v-N515hmLQItqWU4o5bvEHyIt7BSd3CYJT12s9pE-Jg876CkjiuV49hloq08E8nz6cAsMwagwQcpCOQOutfOFtoqKQSV3h3flSe5zhipb9xiyZGAJKm/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-06-08+at+6.15.58+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiplyUGAz1wcYiKpzuUUCKohcpH7v-N515hmLQItqWU4o5bvEHyIt7BSd3CYJT12s9pE-Jg876CkjiuV49hloq08E8nz6cAsMwagwQcpCOQOutfOFtoqKQSV3h3flSe5zhipb9xiyZGAJKm/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-06-08+at+6.15.58+PM.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">beautiful, no?</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Hamptons is one of the lovely stores stocking my artwork, and I was so thrilled to see them featured.

He said they loved my blue and white paintings, and would I be interested in sending some to New York for a feature in the magazine? Oh, and they had to be there in under four days. After I picked myself up off the floor, of course I said yes, and then spent the next few hours in a state of panic. Did I mention it was December? Or that the US had extra security in place for checking mail over the holidays? Anyway, I sent them on their way, and today I saw the end result. So thrilled. The editors used large-scale prints for the shoot, and I'm pleased to say they're now available in my <a href="http://driftwoodinteriors.etsy.com/">Etsy shop</a>:</div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
