Injecting the Loveliness Back into Your Home

I often get calls asking if I can return to a client’s home to do a quick restyle. Sometimes that can simply mean a declutter, a review of the space and a lovely little rejig of what is treasured. Case in point is this home where I rehung artwork and restyled the living areas. And […]

Styling and Selling

Recently I was asked to return to a gorgeous client’s home to cast my eye and restyle where I thought necessary. To get it in order in case they decided to sell. All that was needed was a little spruce up, a mix up of some things and a simple declutter. The end result is […]

Cushion Crushing

Nothing can beat a little textural goodness when it comes to mixing up cushions on your sofa and this example is testament to that. I love how the contrasting patterns and colours work together in harmony whilst adding a smattering of depth and interest to the neutrally toned sofa. A match made in heaven in […]

A Charming Cottage with Beauty to Boot

This pic isn’t really doing justice to these truly divine linen curtains that I installed recently.  Honestly, they are stunning.  The texture and fall of the fabric is next level and they complement this charming cottage so beautifully.  There is a lot to think of when looking at new window treatments.  Pleat type, rods versus […]

Lover of Art

I was lucky to work with a client recently who loves art as much as I do. For those that know me you know that is a lot of love. My challenge to the client is to ask the question, do you still love all your pieces? With this in mind and a need to […]

Little Touches of Loveliness

I had the absolute pleasure of working on this beautiful home in Martinborough a couple of weeks ago. It involved a refresh in some of the spaces, some art recommendations and hanging and a little bit of fluffing around making sure all the areas looked tickety boo. And of course some new cushions. Who doesn’t […]

Love at First Sight

This is what the gorgeous @_textilia_ fabric is to me. The playful pattern, the beautiful colour graduation and the inky blue. Devine. The perfect choice for an old Don sofa that was begging to be recovered along with a couple of chairs to boot. For the chairs we chose a @warwickfabricsnz blue that struck a chord with the sofa, […]

A Tray of Treasures

There is so much to love about this wee snippet of happiness. A tray of treasures collected over time adding warmth and love. A gorgeous plant that softens the hard surfaces. Playful patterns all working together adding contrast and charm. The end result is a simple tray that tells you that this home is filled […]

A Slice of Happiness

Working with the old and new is what I love to do. Looking at spaces with fresh eyes and finding places for treasures that had been long forgotten by their owners. In this case we thought about finding a new piece of furniture to fit in this space but instead we did a quick mix […]

Textural Colourful Goodness at its Finest

As many of you probably know good things take time. And it is worth remembering that the final outcome is most definitely worth the wait. Case in point is this little slice of heaven at a recent restyle. The gorgeous textural lamp and beautiful artwork by @selenakitchen create a little focal point in what was a rather […]
