I've just finished painting an old buffet I had at home a gorgeous duck egg blue, inspired in part by these images above and Nigella's homewares range from the early 2000s. The buffet is going to become the new counter in the Woodend store while our antique glass counter has gone to Armadale. I'll post photos of the before and after tomorrow. x
I'm currently contemplating redecorating my bedroom so I've been saving a whole lot of pics of bedrooms that take my fancy. This bedroom makeover belongs to Alison from Frou Frou Fashionista and is by far one of my favourites. So gorgeous, pink and girly. Loving her use of Rubie Green fabric and the Jen Ramos' Made By Girl 'Love' print (which we'll be stocking in the new Armadale store).

Last week I got my hands on a copy of NY interior designer Bunny William's book 'Point of View'. It's a fabulous read, showcasing her very classic American style with eclectic twists. Bunny started out working for the famed interior designer , Sister Parish before going it alone in the 80s and creating a very successful interior design company. She recently launched her homewares range 'Beeline Home by Bunny Williams', a pricey but gorgeous range. Her design concept is creating homes that are timeless but liveable, which I think she achieves with aplomb.

Last week I wrote about the rainbow that my Mum painted for my bedroom when I was a little girl. Well, she read the post and searched through all of her old polaroids and found this photo of me admiring my new rainbow at age four circa mid-1970s. I had forgotten all about my red bed and bedspread, which I absolutely loved.
One of my closest friends bought a beautiful home in the Mudgeeraba Valley on the Gold Coast a fews years ago and has been slowly renovating it room by room. She sent me photos of her latest room makeover and I love this little area she has created in her family room. The last time I saw this room the walls were this awful pale green colour that the previous owners had painted the entire house in.

I love this gorgeous setting by Australian stylist Sibella Court. Sibella is the owner of Society inc. in Sydney and one of the judges on Channel 9's Homemade. Her name has been popping up a lot over the last 12 months, and I imagine we will hear a lot more about her and her beautiful work in time to come.
The Chelsea McClaren print rests on the desk by the front door.
The 'Parfum' print now resides in Carrie's bedroom.
As the winter months loom I am finding I am adding more and more colour to my home. Maybe I am trying to subconsciously create a warmer space to live in, knowing that soon it will be very, very cold. I love the colourful rooms above, especially the turquoise floorboards and the open fire place in designer Kathryn Ireland's home. I'm going to keep an eye out for little birdies like the ones above for our tree in the shop.
