scouting for great stuff

i am often scouting the big www for beautiful pieces for clients. In my searches I often come across the most beautiful pieces that makes me want to swap my terrace house in Melbourne for a castle in Romania just to fill the rooms up. Some of the bits are so reasonable that it seems rude not to snap the up, others make me find myself wondering which to sell first - car, kidney or child.....

this Laverne 'chan' dining table comes in at a cool US $22,000

actually just one room, somewhere, and they can all go in it together!

a bit of gardening on the inside

i love a bit of greenery inside and these days there seems to be more and more to choose from. I am wanting to put a bit of green in a light well and look at some of the ideas that I have found. So good!

Princess and the Pea

It is increasingly becoming our thing to be asked to do nursery's. I am loving that people are becoming adventurous in what they want and that we are moving beyond a frills and a bit of gingham (gingham I will always have a special place for, frills perhaps less so!)

A theme that I am particularly keen on at the moment is the princess and the pea look! This works particularly well in a girls room and is so simple to do.... just a few layers of quilts or blankets get the look going.

i have always been a fan of the bolster - in the bedroom, on the sofa, softening up a bench seat. So easy and just a little bit less expected than a simple scatter cushion
