All above are parts of the dining and lounge rooms. Below is the master bedroom, then detail of my shoe display cabinet!

Below, this is the sun room, which has only just become tidy/organised enough to be photo worthy! I picked up the "Barcelona" lounge frame for free via Gumtree, adding new foam and sub seat structure - and of course some fabulous bold upholstery!

... A lovely feature in the City News magazine, based here in Canberra. Well, it was back in March, and life got so busy that I never did mention it here at all!

Styling a camping shoot: Behind the scenes

On Saturday I had the fabulous opportunity to again work with photographer Amanda Thorson for a Joie magazine spread, this time we had a gorgeous time at Uriarra styling a camping scene with models Lauren and Hannah for the Fall issue...

We were grateful to have not stayed overnight, I do believe it got a little chilly, though we did take the time to toast some marshmallows over a fire. Nom nom.

Lovely! Stay tuned for the finished shots after the magazine goes live... I can't wait!
