It's amazing what a little greenery can do to a space. We like to think they breathe life into a room and transform a dull space into a type of fresh sanctuary. Not only can a plant purify the air but they can be used as a superb decorative piece that is as good as any lamp or art piece hanging in the corner of your home. With indoor plants becoming a seemingly more popular way to brighten up the home there is no reason why you don’t jump on board and try putting a lush fern in the bathroom or a more structural plant in the living room. The whole idea of bringing nature inside is what we’re...
All our candles are made here in Australia by us, using only 100% Soy Wax. The benefits of Soy Wax far exceed any other candle compound option, however, for those who are unsure about soy wax candles, we are here to make things a little clearer. Firstly Soy Wax is a vegetable wax derived from soy bean oil while other candle compounds are made from paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum, a refined gasoline byproduct (the same stuff you’re fueling your car with!!!) This nonrenewable source contains harmful carcinogenic substances and when lit produces a ‘carbon like soot’ that fills the air we breath and blacken the walls and furniture of your home aghhhhh. While Soybeans are a natural...
Paddock and Vine in Mona Vale If you're heading up to the Northern beaches, Paddock and Vine Restaurant and Wine bar in Mona Vale is an absolute must. Paddock and Vine opened in 2017 and specialises in rustic wholesome food, and while the food is nothing short of outstanding, it is the restaurant fit-out, design and ambiance that caught our attention.

With a collection of beautifully designed seating furniture and handmade ceramics to match. We for one can definitely vouch for the food, we have lost count of the amount of times we have dined...

Here at Electric Eyes, we are big on ethical, sustainable and environmentally friendly living and being a homewares brand we believe this mantra should also extend to the home, which is why we choose Faux Fur. While the reasons for this choice seem clear, it comes down to the simple fact that over 50 million animals are being killed each year for their fur!!!!!, which should be enough to turn anyone off purchasing a fur item. However, we do understand, from a design perspective, many value fur because of its inherent style, look and feel. But not to worry because we do have a cruelty free option that doesn’t compromise quality or style – ‘Faux Fur.’ And THANK GOODNESS because...
