Offered all of the adore they’ve been receiving of late, you definitely currently know concerning the present spate of on-line shelter magazines?aones which are laid out like conventional print glossies (you are able to even practically flip via the pages) but have the additional advantage of permitting you to click correct via to purchase the items you are eyeing.
But whilst the majority of the interest continues to be paid to U.S.-based pubs like Lonny and Rue, we’re massive fans of 1 that is oceans away: Australia’s Adore House, now on its fifth problem, consists of functions like designer Trina Turk’s Palm Springs decor store, textile designer Fiona Douglas’ Glasgow house, an insider tour of Brisbane-based house shop Black & Spiro, and a Queensland beach home with a Hamptons look by interiors maven Diane Bergeron. I was lucky enough to go to the photo shoot for that 1, says the magazine’s founder, Loni Parker, from the chic Sunshine Coast abode.
By day, the Brisbane-based Parker, 28, is an art director at a trade publishing company. None from the [work publishing] topics are particularly interesting to me and I’ve always had a adore for interior design. So in the evenings and weekends, she married her graphic skills with her dwell sense and Adore House was born.
Adore House hits the correct note with on-line readers over 100,000 unique visitors so far. People find the magazine from blogs, says Parker. It’s been great. I didn’t think anyone would find it. I’m surprised that people are taking an interest in it. In between issues, Parker has created an Adore House blog to keep readers sated with content.
So what’s Parker’s personal interiors style? At the moment everything is monochromatic. I adore black and white and then adding a bright yellow or a turquoise blue. I can appreciate so many styles. That is what I adore concerning the magazine?alooking into other people’s homes and getting inspiration.
Parker (pictured at left) continues to be tuned into eBay for six years. She shops the on-line marketplace for clothes (Australian fashion label Alannah Hill is a favorite search term) and most recently, she picked up a Snuggie. It’s freezing cold in our office. So I bought this Snuggie on eBay as a joke. I thought I’d sit there in the Snuggie and see what people would do. So how did her co-workers respond? There was a little bit of laughing.
As for the world of interiors, Parker says, If you are looking for furniture, it’s really important to be on there every week. It’s a waiting game. If you’ve got the patience, you’ll win.
