I'm a little late to get to the magazines this month, but thought I'd drop in with a few tear sheets I'm loving from the October issue of Real Living. I couldn't resist the punk-influenced vibe from their "loving" section which is filled with explosive colour and great ideas to amp up a room (if you're so inclined). Like covering your wall with favorite pics (above), or perhaps the drip look (below) —Drift acrylic-on-canvas artwork by Rowena Martinich).

Or this colourful shopping feature (below) with a bit of graphic and colourful patterns.  (Love those white pineapple jars from OZ Design Furniture)!

Also love this kitchen (home of LA-based Lisa and Bjorne Larson) with its' Shaker-profile cupboards and Moroccan floor tiles.

The retro organic feel of this copper fireplace and graphic chair in this sunken lounge room.

And finally, this fine art photo —Matilda, Major Mitchell's Cockatoo by Leila Jeffreys casually leaning against the wall.
