Christmas at the beach house

Australian christmas holidays - walking on the beach, listening to the sound of the waves lapping upon the seashore, waving hello to people as they walk on by, drenching yourself in the hot summer day (with sunscreen on of course) having time to spend with your family, nothing else to do. So nice...............

South African Inspiration!

I discovered a great new source of inspiration this week called South African Home Owner...it's great to see what designers are doing in other parts of the world! Hope you all have an inspired weekend!

High on Design

Just thought i'd share a few of my favorite rooms from the amazing Phoebe Howard

Who will the lucky winner be...

The lovely Brooke from Velvet and Linen asked us to be judges for the Brickmaker's table competition! After much deliberating, we had to choose only 5 from the 170 entries...not as easy as it may sound as there were so many great rooms to choose from. Head over to Brooke's blog to vote for your favourite room - it's lots of fun! Can't wait to see the winning rooms!

Seasonal Decorating!

I love decorating for the festive season! My Christmas tree went up on Friday night which is helping me get my head around the fact that Christmas is sneaking up fast! I just love these images by stylist Eva Lindh...great inspiration for the best time of the year! Tracey xx

I have a thing for french doors! They really make a room don't you think?

Work in Progress!

One of our gorgeous clients sent this image through to us this weekend of their beautiful living room. We are still waiting for some linen curtains to be hung and are having a roman blind made for the adjoinging kitchen window in the green and white fabric (same as the cushions on the floral chairs). It's such a pretty room and has created some extra living space for the family...their sweet pup seems to like it too! What a pleasure it is to see rooms we have styled being loved and lived in! Happy new week all!

My Magnolia Tree

My Magnolia tree is finally flowering! A few weeks back, I thought it would never happen and now it is covered in buds and blooms...very exciting! Thanks to everyone for their lovely comments this week - it means so much to us! Happy weekend all! Tracey & Hayley xx

another project finished!

Thought we would share another one of our favorite homes that we did for a beautiful couple on the South East of Brisbane earlier this year. we just love working!

Custom made linen chairs fit well into this small space. Made the room look alot larger.
