Quote of the evening from this years Oscars...

Sorry to hit you with another art blog straight after the last one, but this is too good to pass up...

Yayoi Kusama

Well-known for her repeating dot patterns and being a self proclaimed 'obsessive artist', her art encompasses an astonishing variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, film, performance and immersive installation.  

But it's this piece that has got us all excited, first comissioned by the Queensland Art Gallery for Kids, it is the essence of interactive art! 

So here’s some light Friday afternoon reading for you…

Here are some artists that we think you should look out for

Last week, with the help of our lovely friend Neil, we took on the mammoth task of sorting out our workshop!! 
Here are a few shots of before and after and a little sneak peak of what will be our new props catalogue... 

There was far too much great stuff at the Spring Fair this year to write jst one blog about it, so here are some more of our favs...

We toddled off to the Spring Fair at the NEC, Birmingham last week to have a good old nosey at all the trends for 2012...
Be advised, enter the Spring Fair with a map in hand!! If the sheer size of the place doesn't excite you, then the standard of the exhibitors will! 

Here are our top picks from this year... 

New year, new start... redecorating? Moving house? Here are the styles that are doing it for Grace and Tailor in 2012...

We’re unbelievably excited this week as our brand new shiny shiny website goes live - eeeeek!

Pedlars is brill for inspiration when we’re set dressing or styling interior spaces. G&T interior fashion fanatic Becks checks out their latest offering for autumn/winter 2011.

The Modern Shows at Dulwich College are always ace. And this November’s Midcentury Modern is shaping up to be totally mouthwatering for anyone as polka dotty about mid-20^th century design as we are.

This week head event stylist Becks has been getting all whimsical over a tool which lets you personalise an Arcade Fire video to show the street where you grew up. Happy memories! And sad ones too!

Happy times are upon us as G&T spreads its wings and lands with ruffle of plumage in a lovely new nesting box in Leeds city centre.
