But first, Who’s Yer Father. Fair trade beans, roasted, ground, French pressed and making my morning. Mmmmm @peicoffeecompany. . . PS for my non-Island peeps “who’s yer father” is a traditional Island saying because Islanders identify other Islanders by querying their lineage. Back in the day people got nicknames based on their father’s identity. My great aunt Jean was called Jean Doctor to distinguish her from the many other Jean MacDonalds. For the record, my father is Leo Basil Doiron, b. 1934, Charlottetown, Acadian father, Irish mother and graduate of St Dunstan’s (now UPEI). . . . #coffee #peicoffeecompany #whosyerfather #coffeegram #whalecottagepei #frenchpress #margotaustincreative #pennyroundtiles #bluelobsterfabric
Wild bayberry - the very best scent on the planet in my books. I have to ruffle the leaves a little as I pass by to release the fragrance. My dream is to have hedges of the stuff lining our cottage property. A girl (who is terrible at gardening) can dream 🌿. . . . #whalecottagepei #margotaustincreative #pei #princeedwardisland #wildbayberry #wildbay #bayberry #greensthatareasgoodasflowers #northshore #botanicalstyling

Monday reflection. I’m taking advantage of the down time as a passenger on our PEI road trip to delete images from my iPhone. So far I’ve purged 3,000. (I had more than 15,000 in my Camera roll!). Experiencing a little emotional roller coaster in the process. I’m still holding onto so many images of our first Frenchie, Lulu. Also scrolling through travel pics from Paris, Antwerp, Charleston and more. Deleting a zillion scouting photos of product and price tags. Deleting in-process DIY photos because they are inevitably terrible and mostly useless. Finding gems like this little moment captured just off the dock at my client’s Kawarthas cottage. Palette perfection. 🖤🍃 . . . #margotaustincreative #lilypads #lakesideliving #greenismyfavouritecolour #blackismyotherfavouritecolour #inspiration #naturespalette #mondaymood #stonylake
End of Day 1 on the road and this one has been a superstar. Made friends with a unilingual Francophone lady at a rest stop in Quebec who spoke French to her, which she understood (natch). “Oh, très mignon!” Now she appears to be giving me a little get-me-the-heck-out-of-here Frenchitude. . . . #peiroadtripwithpixie #pixiethefrenchbulldog #pixietravels #frenchie #frenchbulldog #austinsaway #misterandmrsaustin #threefortheroad

Graphic Tape Door DIY

February 21, 2016 in interior design, styling

I've been meaning to do a little something to the inside of the entry door at #AustinSuite for some time. I hemmed and hawed over colour after colour. Decided on yellow. Then didn't do anything. Until today. Tape!

Here's the inspo above (clockwise from top left): 1. The genius Memphis-influenced furniture designs of Kelly Behun. 2. This amazing installation by artist Esther Stocker. 3. This Christian May x Black Crow Studios collab wallpaper. 4. This Minted artwork by Jaime Derringer.

Here's the before. Clean slate. 

Here's the best part. The How-to instructions, which are as follows:

1. Apply tape to door in desired pattern until complete.

...and done.

For my next tape DIY I am taking inspiration from this incredible artwork in the NYC home of design power couple Delphine and Reed Krakoff. Good luck me.
