We love to decorate!


It's been a little while since my last post, so I thought I'd share what I've been up to! I've been cleaning up and re-decorating in my studio! We're renovating and I have to work around a mess at the moment so everything needed to become a bit more mobile! As you probably know I've been after a peacock chair for a long time and still I am yet to find an amazing one to add to my studio! Instead and being the good budget keeping girl I am, I went with a totally relaxed addition to my studio! A hammock! :) I scored this one on Ebay for a steal just $25! It's a double so it's great not only for the studio but to lie in out in my tropical garden in summer! Here it is in all it's glory decorated with my gorgeous Escape To Paradise cushion! :) In actual fact nothing in this shot cost anymore than $40 a piece, perfect example of how you can create a gorgeous look on tiny budget! :)





New edition of Adore Magazine Out Now!



I was super excited recently to do some styling and photography for the latest edition 
of Adore Home Magazine. Check out the gorgeous Bathroom feature on 
pages 47-53 styled and photographed by me with product sourcing by Loni! 



It was an absolute pleasure to also be asked to shoot the lovely Kerri Hess & 
Keren Brown from The Brown Trading Co. as well for the latest edition. Their gorgeous 
new Miss Lou Lou collaboration is now available! Just love both Kerri's artwork and the high quality of Keren's designs are amazing, the detailing is perfect in everyway!
