lots of white

As much as i need to venture into more colour every time i find an image i must keep "its white" my closest friends are the same we all love white! what is it? perhaps it just the perfect back-drop to add beautiful textures and subtle colour to any decor, I work with fabrics in both fashion and interiors and at the moment I'm busy buying summer clothes for"2008" crazy but imports you must order a year in advance (not easy when summer 07 is just arriving in store now) the good news is lots of white is the next big thing! i love this image from Elle magazine simple but so easy to live in.

Style Hunter

Today we recieved our copy of STYLE HUNTER...which featured our store Lily-g in there ultimate guide to the best home accessories, furniture and design shops in Australia! What a fantastic idea! I was so excited to see our store listed.

love this wall-paper

Another Designer guild wall-paper we used at the day-spa, we have teamed it back with aqua but this paper would look great with natural linens and white as well! My daughter Jess loves this wall-paper too and we are using it in her new room, she loves all things vintage and we have having so much fun together looking for treasures from all our favourite antique stores!

designer guild wall-paper

I'm finally at the end of a huge interior design project i have been working on for several months, i was asked to help set up a retail gift store and to completely renovate a gorgeous but very old 3 story building for a day-spa and whilst it has been challenging ( busy with other interior jobs as well as my store) i have loved every minute of it especially working with my one of my dearest friends Karen. I will be posting lots of images of our gorgeous day-spa in the next few weeks. The Charcoal wall paper by designer guild (image above) is used in one of the treatment rooms and it looks gorgeous!
the charcoal wall paper above has been used in one of the rooms and looks absolutely amazing at lily-g we have a large
selection of wall-papers from Designer guild, Osborne & little, R&L and so may more

my second choice

Im always trying to achieve something abit different for my clients interiors but still keeping the look classic and stylish blending old with the new. I love the kitchen table in the middle of the kitchen as i child i have great memories of my family sitting around our country style table while mum chatted to us while she was cooking, this kitchen has a warm homely feel yet is still modern in design.

my new kitchen

well! it actually is not my kitchen but i have basically modelled my own kitchen around this design, at the last minute i changed the colour back to white ( i chickened out!) but i love the taupe colour and kind of regret that i played it safe but it will still look great i hope!
