Favorite Rooms Today

Hi there, I hope your Saturday is going well. I'm still in my PJ's and having a slow start to the morning. I sat up till 1am watching the final of Downton Abbey. I kept saying I must turn it off, but just had to see the happy ending.

I came across these gorgeous colorful rooms on VT Interiors Blog. They are her favorite rooms from the Hamptons Show House 2012. Every year for the last 20 years a show house is built and then each room decorated by a different designer. It is a very high accolade to be asked to design a room in a show house. The home is then opened to the paying public with all proceeds going to charity.

These rooms are absolutely stunning, with gorgeous color combinations and fantastic furnishings. I hope you like it. Check out the Hamptons Show House site for more information and images.

Latest Project, sneak peek

Hi all, here's a few photos from my install yesterday. Just to prove I do actually do some work!! Ha ha.

The sofas, and curtains go in on Friday. Along with a fair few other items. So it's a very exciting time at this end of the project for my dear clients. The poor things have been so paitent and had to make do with temporary furnishings while everything was being finalized.

I spoke with them this morning, and a great nights sleep was had by all in their lovely new beds, complete with beautiful crisp new linen!!!

These photos are of a couple of the bedrooms and the family room. Plenty more to follow as I pull it all together. Please excuse the rough photos courtesy of my iPhone. Have a great night x

Bookshelves

Hello, Happy Monday!!!! I had a great day helping my dear clients in Penshurst pull together a few of the rooms in their home. Its so satisfying to see homes starting to come together as you had envisaged them. I'll post some photos once they download. My photostream is on a go slow.

So in the meantime, here are some lovely ideas for decorating your bookshelves, or any other shelves for that matter. Hope they give you some inspiration.

Photos are via Belle Maison's Blog.

Country Style

Hi, while I have 5 minutes to spare thought I would share these lovely rooms with you. A little bit country style with a beachy vibe. The blue and green palette teamed with a bit of rattan and a few seashell accessories, ensures the rooms fresh and inviting feel. All images are via Lovely Clusters Blog.

I'm loving the different colored Eames chairs around that gorgeous dining table. Oh and that gorgeous colonial style desk paired with the Phillipe Starck chair!!! Just divine.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend! I can hardly wait till tomorrow. My office is piled high with boxes of goodies ready to be installed in one of my clients homes tomorrow. I might get to share a few more sneak peek photos with you (if I can remember to take them). Bye for now xx

Favourite room for today

Hi all, quiet evening in and watching Bridget Jones Diary on the Telly. All kids in bed, cup of tea and chocolate at hand. Perfect!!!!

I found this room on The Decorista's Blog. It has that lovely, lived in, relaxed feel about it. The gold pendant adds a little touch of glam - making it just perfect!!!!

Goodnight

Sneak peek

Hi, I went to check progress on Freda's bedroom today. So thought I would post a couple of photos. I'm always saying how busy I am, so these are the results of some of that work.

We are yet to bring in the dresser and tall boy, mirror, artwork, cushions, pendant lighting and accessories. So still a little way to go yet.

Freda's lounge room is pretty much completed now too. I'll put the photos in a second post as my photo stream is playing up at the moment.


All photos via me!! Sorry forgot the flash on the iPhone

Blue

Hi there, its been such a perfect winters day here in Sydney. I'm loving this weather, roll on spring time!!!

As per usual I'm just snatching a quick moment to share a blog post with you while the kids are in the bath. These lovely rustic blue rooms are all from an American company called Restoration Hardware. They advertise in Elle Decor magazine all the time and I love their room settings. I'm especially drawn to this lovely navy blue at the moment.

I hope you like them too.

Nate Berkus

Hi all, do you remember Nate Berkus from Oprah? He used to do a segment with fabulous makeovers for Oprah's lucky fans. He has his own show now too on Arena I think, or maybe W on Foxtel (i can't remember exactly) Anyway, he is an outstanding designer and uses lots of texture in his designs with rich colors and classic furniture pieces. I adore his work!!! I'm sure you will too when you look through these photos. Check out his website for even more fabulous interiors.
