Dressing Rooms

Looking forward to the day I can design myself the perfect dressing room - two thirds for me and the other third for my husband....if he is lucky. Here are some images I have collected of dressing rooms to inspire.

Working on

Here is a sneak peak at a project I'm working on.

A Grandmothers chair in need of a makeover, will take pride of place in my clients master bedroom once we have finalised the scheme - working on custom bedding and lampshades to work with the scheme and recovering the chair.


Will keep you posted on the progress.

New Collection - Manuel Canovas

The new fabric collections are coming thick and fast at the moment and this morning I saw the new Manuel Canovas Collections. Amazing embroideries and weaves and some great wallpapers as well......below are some images of the collection

The wide stripe on the ottoman below is stunning, great colour combinations and thick and textured. There is a cutting on rouge and chocolate in the photo above, which is a combination I just love.
Gorgeous wallpapers, many complementing the fabric designs or using older print designs as the inspiration.
This design is my favourite. Its had to see the detail but the leaves are machine embroidered and the tulip flowers are hand embroidered...stunning.

Can's wait to use them......

Designer Rugs - Alex Perry

Last night in Melbourne, Designer Rugs launched their collaboration with Alex Perry, Australian Fashion Designer.

This collection features designs such as ‘PALATI', inspired by an intricate gate seen in the National Gardens in Athens and ‘PSARAKI', which takes you on an underwater journey in the Aegean sea.....and a Greek inspired menu was served to guests to complement the greek inspiration.

Osborne & Little

For as long as I can remember, Osborne and Little have run an amazing advertising campaign. The advertising of their fabrics has been very creative and lots of fun. Below are some examples of the advertisements.



Since stating the campaign in the 60's, the Osborne & Little ads have become legendary and many people have asked who was behind these unique concepts. It was a partnership between Peter Osborne's wife, Felicity and photographer Charles Settrington, who together, brimmed with ideas, never compromised to achieve authenticity.
