Apart from the @thecapitolrmit’s carpet, and @villagecinemas Rivoli’s, a special award should go to @palacecinemas’ Westgarth deliciously deco detailed floor coverings. #westgarththeatre #highstreet #westgarth #jfn_shoestagram #doucals (at Westgarth Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpuQ2wHJBDq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of my favourite terrazzo floors… this one in a shop currently occupied by a French pastry shop but was probably installed by a previous occupant several decades ago. #jfn_terrazzo #jfn_shoestagram #terrazzo #sydneyroad #brunswick (at Choukette fine pastries) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cma0tGTpf4J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Loving the all-over patterns in @nazdez’s work at @gertrudecontemporary #jfn_shoestagram #doucals #leonardst #gertrudecontemporary #highstreet #preston (at Gertrude Contemporary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmIzCGHJuQc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Friendly fish at the @australiangalleries, Collingwood. There to check out the work of the equally friendly @pleatybunny, whose exhibition closes this Sunday. Intricate and intriguing in equal measures, I can’t urge you enough to check it out! And support our living artists! #saiwaifoo #australiangalleries #collingwood #jfn_shoestagram #christiankimber (at Australian Galleries) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkuyHiROCiH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Possibly one of my most beloved carpets which can be found in one of my favourite cinemas! #jfn_shoestagram #villagecinemas #camberwellroad #camberwell #jfn_artdeco #carpetsofmelbourne (at Rivoli Camberwell Gold Class) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkaYXkEJj2z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

While I was indeed impressed by the beautiful restoration of @unimelb’s ‘Old Quad’ building (open as part of @openhousemelb) I was however unexpectedly transfixed by the superlative exhibition ‘Emu Sky’ which masterfully challenges us to think much more deeply about our history and First Nations brothers and sisters. #jfn_shoestagram #doucals #theuniversityofmelbourne #oldquad #parkville (at Old Quad Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgoMSRHJ2gJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So lovely to bump into @claudiatory on an impromptu visit to @open_room_! So glad this geometric pattern remains! #jfn_shoestagram #paulsmith #openroom #johnstonstreet #collingwood (at OPEN ROOM) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgEIXHLpInx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So lovely to be back in the pattern paradise that is @thecapitolrmit for a fundraising screening of CASABLANCA (which I’d never seen in its entirety before) with all those unforgettable lines AND those iconic Orry-Kelly costumes. The fundraiser is to reinstall the ORIGINAL Wurlitzer organ in time for its 100th anniversary and is a collaboration with @rmituniversity in conjunction with the Theatre Organ Society of Australia (TOSA). @prof.lisafrench introduced the session with TOSA’s Victorian President Scott Harrison getting us all excited about the potential for future performances of this extraordinary invention! #jfn_shoestagram #doucals #capitoltheatre #rmit #swanstonstreet #melbourne #melbmoment #walterburleygriffin #marionmahonygriffin (at Capitol Theatre, Melbourne) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfQqSG_pYya/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Poor old St Kilda. I thought it was bad, just not *that* bad. At least I spotted this lovely remnant! #strathmore #jfn_shoestagram #jfn_terrazzo #doucals #fitzroystreet #stkilda #ripstkilda (at St Kilda, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdf0JOEpsUs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Doucals at Dymocks. Possibly my favourite floor in Sydney! #jfn_shoestagram #dymocksbuilding #theblockbuilding #georgestreet #sydney #jfn_sydney #terrazzo #jfn_onthetiles #doucals (at Dymocks 424 George St Sydney) https://www.instagram.com/p/BysP1XBJhec/?igshid=1q22873oosql8

Puntons Shoes. Paid a late afternoon visit to High St, Preston. Remnants of a healthier retail past remain, but it’s a sad(der) part of Melbourne. Hope it survives the temptation of the wrecker’s ball… it has a lot of character, even charm, but it is a precarious existence at best. #jfn_shoestagram #puntonsshoes #jfn_fontlove #jfn_signofthetimes #highstreet #preston #depreston #doucals (at Preston, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdQN1bwJOXd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tip top of the week to you! Walked through the site of what was one of the largest bakeries in the world, now converted to high density housing. Originally called Weston Bakeries, it has been known as Tip Top Bakery for some time. And this work is a giant bag tie that I have a feeling were banned several years ago. #jfn_shoestagram #hermanandsons #westonbakeries #tiptopbakery #edwardstreet #brunswick #bagtie (at Tip Top Bakeries (Brunswick) Pty LTD) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdDPTnvJk_L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rosé or Dosé? This tag was all along Royal Parade and I applaud the accent usage! #latergram #royalparade #parkville #jfn_shoestagram (at Parkville, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccm3daiJMPa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
