Home Beautiful Magazine Feature

Australian Home Beautiful magazine did a feature on my home back in October '06

It was very exciting to see it come out on the news stands and certainly a boost in my career for Interior Styling. Thanks Home Beautiful!

A few things have changed in the last couple of years. I will post some new photos in the near future. The paint on my loungeroom walls are Porters Duchess Satin in Oyster. I still love the colour. It reflects alot of light into a room with no windows. My kitchen doesn't usually look this uncluttered.

This is my beautiful princess sitting on my antique Italian Rococco sofa which I bought from a lovely couple who own a series of shops around Australia and UK called French & English, formerly known as The French House.

These are my 3 kids rooms which no longer look like this. I get bored very quickly (chronic stylist syndrome).

Beautiful homes for sale in Melbourne, Victoria

I spent some time last night looking at some houses for sale in my favourite Melbourne suburbs on realesatate.com.au and I thought I would share them with you. Hope you enjoy them too!

This is so stunning! A mansion in beautiful Brighton

This home is in Toorak. I just love Toorak, just driving through the suburb enriches your life....It's great to dream!

A beautiful entrance with the solid black gloss door and warm painted tones on the walls

I would love to live here. This is exactly what my back yard will look like one day

This looks like a Paul Bengay design.

I just adore these french parquetry floors.

Irish Real Estate

A friend from Ireland recently sent me a link to the largest Irish real estate website Daft (great name). I had a great time looking through houses in the centre of Dublin as well as some stunning mansions in the countryside - another pleasant way to waste a bit of time. The homes are so different to what is on offer in Australia.


I just loved this house in the country:

The following gorgeous images were from a different house that didn't have the same street appeal as the above house. It was styled in a way that you would imagine having if you lived in Ireland but could just as easily be in an old Queenslander:

These gorgeous dining chairs look like the ones from Coco Republic.

Love the slip cover chairs.

What a gorgeous study nook.

Sweet and simple bedroom.

Stylist Feature

Living in Queensland, the focus is usually on summer and our fantastic lifestyle due to our temperate climate. Maybe that is why these wintery images appeal so much - I'm trying to get into winter and enjoy all it has to offer.

True style comes when everyday things are thrown together in such a way that they tell a story of the life we are living. The above photo is so simple and beautiful, yet it is a collection of things we may all use on a dayly basis.

Its all in the details...

Everyday things always look better with a silver lining.

I recently came across the website of a stylist from Stockholm and loved her style so much that I decided to do a feature of some of her work.



I just love the details of this bathroom. The grey mosaic tiles look stunning as a backdrop to all the pink accessories (including the floor rug).

I have to admit that I normally would not go for the gold taps and other accessories but I think it really works in this bathroom.

Obviously styled in a very feminine way but the bathroom itself is very gender neutral.

I'm sure you are wondering who this amazing stylist is by now. Her name is Eva Lindh - click here to see more of her gorgeous work.

I just had to add this gorgeous wintery image since we are in the middle of winter and its great to do it in style.
