This brand new Designer's Guild fabric is so vibrant in cobalt blue! Custom scatter cushions will be made from this for bed in the Guest Bedroom with Missoni fabric as contrast piping

 

Edwards wallpaper is so calming & it is available in blue/white colourway as well! Sourced directly from London, this feature piece is intended to sit on wall behind bed

Bone inlay bedside cabinet sourced in India - features 1 cupboard with drawer above. 1 of these will sit either side of bed and will act as an amazing contrast to wallpaper & lampshade chevron fabric. Will all 3 finishes featuring some form of stripe in black, white and grey, the effect will be pretty eye-catching!

Beautiful chevron fabric - white linen basecloth, black & grey chevrons. This one will feature on custom lampshades (slightly tapered), sitting atop the below boulbus ceramic lamp

This celadon lamp will add some colour to the space, complementing Missoni cushion & throw (pictured below)

Apologies for the shocking pic.. .Should be able to get a better idea if you head over to S&L... 

How epic is this blue!! Both original artworks created by the ever talented Kerri Shipp. These lovelies to be custom framed in something striking... .. .. Possibly the same blue??

These are just the initial specs, but stay tuned for more + schemes for the rest of this lovely home on Brisbane's River.

These key pieces will make up the open plan living area of Dining, Kitchen, & Sitting Area, all of which flow out through bifold glass doors to a stunning rooftop entertaining area overlooking Suncorp Stadium & the city. The outdoor industrial bbq is a streamlined extension of the Kitchen bench when the doors are open. The architects really did think of everything in this home - Will post pics of all once completed.

The sitting area will include the iconic Grant Featherston RS161 Settee

Sigurd Ressel Falcon Chairs

Featherston RS161 to be reupholstered



+ the 2 Falcon chairs, designed by Sigurd Ressel to sit opposite & the Tuckey coffee table to sit in between. The amazingly textural Gstaad fabric pictured below (by Missoni) will be made up to into seat pads for the geometric white metal stools from The States. 

Gstaad upholstery fabric by Missoni Home

Classic Bentwood carver custom coloured in lime/yellow (1 carver to sit either end of rustic dining table with standard Bentwoods to sit either side)

The Malmaison floor rug by Missoni will either sit under sitting area pieces or be custom sized to sit under 3 x 1m rustic timber dining table setting

"The Places We'll Go"
*Inspired by the love of travel, this vintage world map is aged to perfection.
The limited edition artwork is printed onto a heavy-weight canvas using water-based dyes. It is then hand-mounted with stained timber batons & 100% cotton rope
This beauty will hang from hallway wall at entrance as you walk through to living space.

The Adachi upholstery weight fabric by Warwick is specified for the window box seat which sits parralel to kitchen bench, it too flowing out to outdoor space. We'll pipe this bench seat in the Missoni Gstaad fabric, adding a nice finished edge, complementing the barstool seat pads. 

New Lights spotted in Sydney

IN STORE SOON! Excuse my poor photography, but hopefully you get the idea. . . 

The lights in the above pic might hang over my new desk in the corner on 2 separate strands at different heights

While these ones are going to be the new additions for above our shop counter at the entrance of the shop

Another cool example of what can be done with them

Fiddle Leaf Fig!

My poor olive trees are dying outside the entrance to the shop and I think it's time I took them home to a much sunnier environment (well away from any awnings and shade) before they totally cark it.

I have been umming and aahhing as to what to replace them with - Something that doesn't mind a bit of shade and is pretty hardy. After some research, I have completely fallen in love with the Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree! You can even have them indoors! (apparently).
So not only have I found the perfect solution for the shop's entrance but also for my new indoor plant at home! Woo Hoo

Such luscious big green leaves

Amazing!

Sydney Visit - INDESIGN, Spence & Lyda & lots more. .
