Ultimate Meat Shop

Victor Churchill butchers shop in Sydney, Australia may not be breaking news, but it is an inspiring space calling out to be visited. "Churchill’s Butchery -has operated in the space since 1876, so it was an appropriate location for what the Puharichs envisioned as a European-inspired designer shop of meaty delights."

"With the interior designed by Michael McCann of Dreamtime Australia, the store is quite unlike any butcher store in Australia. Gone are the traditional refrigerated cabinets and parsley dressed meats, replaced with a store infused with European style. Rich timber wall panelling, timber beamed ceiling and Italian Calacatta marble stone floor, Himlayian salt brick walls create the new interior of Victor Churchill."

Bug Wallpaper

Interior designer Brad Ford (pictured left) created this 'Mudroom' for a show house in the 2007 Hamptons Cottages and Gardens Idea House Show in New York state. He collaborated with Jennifer Angus, an artist from Wisconsin who regularly uses nature in her patterned wallpaper designs. Ford said, “I wanted to play with that idea, to literally bring the outside in.”

He brought in hundreds of preserved insects for the project, including cicadas, walking leaf insects and jungle nymphs among others. It took two and a half days to attach the bugs to the walls and the final outcome is a whirl of colour and texture. It is fair to say the decor is not too practical but interesting for the pioneers of design out there.
