Also arriving in-store this week is our latest Dyrberg Kern collection of Jewellery. Gold is back...leather cuffs bracelets inspired from Designers like Gucci and D & G are the hottest season looks for spring 2009. The hard part is not wanting to take it all home x
Our Fashion store is filling fast with stunning spring fashion from Twin-Set Italy, here is a sneak preview!
When I was building my home I struggled with finding European lighting that is legal to use in Australia. Our new collection of lighting is very extensive and if your interested in any pieces please email me lilyg1@bigpond.com.au
In my next home I'm definitely heavily lime washing my timber floors, putting it back with lots of raw oak and white for a simple classic look. I adore the raw oak beams, the gorgeous kitchen stools with the linen skirts, the old brass lighting. The arches in the first photo with the wall panelling peaking through, divine..... its all about using lots of texture when working with neutrals.
Tomorrow is officially my first day of my holidays, it has been over a year and half since my last holiday. I'm really looking forward to just relaxing, reading, long walks and dinners out with Paul, spending time with my family. After a week of computers crashing, I can receive emails but cannot send them, at home I can send them but can't receive them, urrggg.....computers drive me crazy! It has been a busy frustrating week, finalizing jobs, starting new ones, unpacking new stock etc... I'm just a Moody Judy who just needs a good rest. We are spending the week at Noosa and on Saturday we are going to Eumundi markets which I always love. The photo of Lily was taken on our last holiday isn't she cute? Why is chubby so cute only when we are little? All I can say is thank goodness its winter and I'm wearing track suits all week :)
Brooke from Velvet and linen in America would have to be my favourite designer, her work is so inspiring and she is so incredibly talented. The make over of this bathroom is stunning and very stylish. I love the wall panelling, the vanities which look more like furniture pieces and the dressing table, I especially love the timber floors with the tiled area giving the illusion of a rug, the fabric ottoman will add the perfect touch.
This would be Lily's cubby house
My puppies would own this gorgeous bed and I would be the proud owner of this glorious back yard
I'm so sorry for the lack of posts all week. We were invited to an exclusive Riviera Maison Xmas showing in melbourne which was so much fun. The logs fires, the snow capped tree's, the old sleighs and ski's decorated the room's which were filled with decorations and delights. It was Xmas in July and the freezing cold weather set the scene perfectly. I have now completed all my Xmas buying, hard to believe when its still 6 months away!
I had fun re-arranging the furniture in lily's room over the week-end, her bedcover was looking tired so I found a gorgeous pink stripe quilt that looked so cute in her room. Most of her accessories I have found in junk stores and markets which adds to the fun. I found an old ottoman, painted it white and re upholstered in a scrap of DG fabric.
I often use white as my inspiration in my decorating, always crisp, fresh and always in style. Its the perfect back drop for colour. Add a delicious palette of warm whites- vanilla, biscotti and cream and you have decorating menu made in heaven!
We have just started a small gardening section in lily-g with gorgeous tools and accessories for your garden. Our grey stone pots from france are sold in the wooden boxes, the pots would look great with herbs and flowers placed in rows on a window ledge.
Our Hampton's inspired bird houses look fabulous in the garden, I just love the idea of attracting birds to my garden.
