Over the next few months I'll be collecting samples, inspirational photos, creating mood boards, buying paint, flooring etc. for the makeover of my very first home. I'm so excited to be able to start the make over as soon as the tenants move out, yet struggling a little to narrow down what I want when … Continue reading Mood Boards for the ‘Unit Makeover’

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. They're not sure if this little cherub will be a boy or a girl, so thought yellow would be a great colour to suit both … Continue reading Children’s Soft Toys- Newest Additions

"1 The art or practice of designing and constructing buildings 1.1 The style in which a building is designed and constructed, especially with regard to a specific period, place or culture" -Oxford Dictionary I'm not sure about you, but I find so much inspiration in the "art"of architecture.

I love to travel to new and exciting places. Sometimes I've found though, that the best of adventures don't always happen after boarding a plane, train or ship for days or hours, but can be right near your back yard- they just need to be stumbled upon. Here are some amazing landscapes and views from my … Continue reading Landscapes and Views
I love watching the sun set on the horizon. Each time its so amazingly different, I can't help but stare and be in awe of every one that I see. Here's a collection of some that I've been able to capture so far. There are sunsets from home, above the clouds, from a cliff in Fiji, near my … Continue reading Sunset
I find so much inspiration in the smells, colours, shapes, and textures of flowers (as well as even leaves) I find along my travels, as well as from those I'm lucky enough to receive as gifts. They can symbolise love, compassion, sorrow and joy, and can brighten up even the dreariest of days. I hope the photos … Continue reading Flora
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
This bedroom revamp was of an older home that had recently been purchased. The dark pink feature wall was in a highly textured paint that had to be sanded back, and the plaster needed patching as it did for the remaining walls of the room. There was existing built in cabinetry to the left hand … Continue reading Bedroom Revamp
On our way home from our adventures in London and Greece, my best friend and I had a small stay in Dubai. Here, we discovered the best mall in the world (at least so far), the breathtaking views from the Burj Kalifa, and the possibilites of money being no object! I hope you find these photos … Continue reading Dubai, UAE
In June this year my best friend and I were finally able to fulfill our dream of a Greek Island adventure. We were so lucky to discover Athens, Mykonos, Santorini and Ios, and we dream of one day venturing back to these amazing Mediterranean oasis'. I absolutely love the simple, fresh white render of the buildings of Santorini and their … Continue reading The Greek Islands, Greece
In June 2013 I was lucky enough to spend some time in the beautiful city of London. Although not long enough, I was still able to gain so much inspiration and leave the city wanting more. Hopefully one day I will go back and find the flea markets, design stores, amazing architecture and other treasures that I had to … Continue reading London, UK
After never boarding a plane until 2007, I was suddenly somewhere between my 10th and 20th flight only 6 months later, & on my way to the beautiful islands of tropical Fiji. I was here for a wedding, but what a perfect excuse to stay away from the world of hustle and bustle for as long … Continue reading 2008- Tropical Adventures
In 2007 I boarded a plane for the first time, and flew to the other side of the world to Europe, Malta & America with my mum. I love looking back at photos of all our adventures and continuously find inspiration in them, but they cannot do justice to the sounds, smells, touch and sites … Continue reading 2007- Journey through a new world
