If you've ever decided to paint your home or a piece of furniture I'm sure you've noticed just how many shades of the same colour are available. Apparently, there are more shades of white that exist than all other colours combined! I know how stressful this can be for clients to get it right, and … Continue reading How To Select The Right Paint Colour
Yesterday was such amazing weather for a road trip with my mum. We drove up to the Central Coast for a homewares store that we've been following on Instagram for a while called 'Drift Design'. It was well worth the trip! I absolutely loved every item in the store and could have gone home with … Continue reading Road Trip to the Central Coast
For some unknown reason I am in love with baskets! I don't know if any of you feel that same need to buy them, find a use for them or take photos of them (if you have no more space to fit them lol). I think what I love so much are the textures, variety of … Continue reading Baskets
I absolutely love Children's Rooms! Whose with me? From sweet little nurseries to bedrooms and playrooms, I find there's just so much more room for colour and fun than in any other space within the home (at least for many, who aren't as daring as adding slides to their staircases and so on). For a child, … Continue reading Children’s Rooms
We've been really lucky with our weather so far here in Sydney. Today was another warm and gloriously sunny day (not a cloud in sight!), which is extremely strange for this time of year. The nights however, have slowly begun to get icy cold and I can definitely feel that winter is just around the corner (well … Continue reading Winter Warmth
I hadn't always been a fan of grey, whether it was paint colours, flooring, interiors, homewares, etc. because I found it to be very cold and lacking personality. Over the last couple of years though I've fallen in love with it! Warmer shades of grey can still be warm and inviting, and paired with shades of … Continue reading Black, White And Shades Of Grey

I absolutely love colour, I think even the smallest amount in a space can brighten and freshen it up without having to take over. So many people I come across seem scared to use it because it might date, because neutral colours are easier to match with, for easier re-sale if they ever move in the future, … Continue reading Colour
Enjoying some Inspiring Interiors on a beautifully sunny Sunday afternoon. I hope you find as much inspiration from these images as I do! Follow my boards on Pinterest (link on homepage) for many more images like these, and the links to where they all came from :)
One of my main sources of inspiration is texture, which can sometimes be found in the most unexpected places. I think the simple addition of textures such as rustic timber, knitwear or linen can create a cosy atmosphere and a much more homely feeling. They are also quite versatile as they can not only be used in … Continue reading Texture

Here are a few drawstring bags I've created so far. They're great for books, toys, treasures, etc. and are designed to be carried over children's (or parents) shoulders and taken to the park, on picnics, to sleepovers, school- anywhere an amazing adventure is to be had! Where would you take yours?
During my travels I've loved keeping and eye out for all the different designs, colours, shapes and sizes of the doors and windows of the country I'm exploring. I think they create wonder and mystery for what may lay behind them, and can act as a mini portal into the lives and history of a country's … Continue reading Doors & Windows
This cute baby Elephant is all ready for its new home with my client, ready for her brother's bub that's due to arrive into the world in March.

I love creating hand made items. Whether they be like the framed timber scrabble- like pieces pictured above, items I can sew, paint, or things that I can create using timber. I find it very therapeutic, and love the little imperfections and qualities of items that are made by heart and hand. If your looking … Continue reading Framed Art

I hope you find these photos … Continue reading Dubai, UAE
