Kitchen Appliances Uncovered

Kitchen designer Natalie Du Bois gives an expert insight into the where, what and why of kitchen appliances.

We love this rangehood, but it could blow your budget!

The Victoria Rangehoods, RRP $5,399, from Elica and Häfele, look fabulous as they tend to look more like a beautiful light fitting than a rangehood, giving you a stunning look with the added benefit of being a fully functional extractor.

Gorgi Oxford Pillowcase with 'Recital' Print by Natalie Babbage

Gorgi has reopened their online store in NZ, with all of their favourite collections and new items being added, such as this exquisite Oxford with ‘Recital’ print by Natalie Babbage. While working on Recital, Natalie observed dance classes in an Auckland studio and her final image depicts the poised style of the classical dance form, true to all little girls’ ideals about ballet.

Gorgi's oxford pillowcases are designed with a small 5cm sham running along all four sides of the pillowcase and hand printed using a water based ink by Gorgi’s very talented and much respected screen printers in Tauranga. Manufactured using premium grade 100% pure cotton percale, they are extremely soft, and comfortable with 300 threads per centimetre square.

Gorgi customers enjoy the simplicity of the designs, the fact that the look transgresses fashion changes and isn’t age specific. Proudly 100% NZ Made.

Lee Jofa – Lilly Pulitzer

Once upon a time, an irreverent and enterprising socialite named Lilly eloped with publishing mogul and citrus heir Peter Pulitzer.
The couple embarked on a glamorous and colourful life in Palm Beach, where Lilly opened a simple juice stand in 1959.  She soon transformed her citrus-stained clothing into a line of brightly coloured shift dresses in an array of cheery prints.  Her designs quickly became the unofficial uniform of America’s splashy resort towns.

Fast forward fifty-plus years and Lilly Pulitzer’s prints and colours continue to inspire all to lead a colourful life and live happily ever after.

Check out www.kravetnews.com to see an article written on the First Lady’s Luncheon  where Lilly Pulitzer fabric was used.
