When Grand is Just Simply Grand!






We loved working with our client of this gorgeous home it was just an absolute treat....initially due to the original black white marble tiles on entry...oh just beautiful.....that doesn't sound like us does it??? However we composed ourselves & you will notice the palette develops into warm sisal's & rich colours with loads of textures.....! In the formal lounge / dining note the variations in pattern we have used....the room feels warm & cosy & almost feels like you are in a country retreat far away however you are right in the middle of Sydney....








All I can say is that I am going to take up reading in this bedroom....well do magazines count?? I just want to curl up on the wing chair! Our brief in this space was glamorous but not too feminine....my solution...Queen Anne bed head with antique studding.....linens with leathers.....coral with wrought iron....get my drift?








I feel the need to open a fabulous Shiraz...& indulge with brie that is melting on a cheese board...or why not the table? The more rustic the greater the character?





Some pieces just are meant to be?













This project has been an absolute pleasure to work on....firstly our client was open minded regarding pattern, colour & texture....& she was just a gem....! To embrace full length William Morris curtains (with a drop of almost 4m!!!....can you see why I am in decorator heaven!!) was brave & bold....however when you look at the shots it is so easy & pleasant...if you saw the small swatch I am sure most would steer clear....risks = pure bliss!







See you next time xxxx

Three Against One....xxx

























































































































Hello lovers!!!






It has been a while but it's Friday & I am feeling like you deserve to meet our latest client...the beautiful Rhonda & her home...oh & her wonderful family too!!



Where do I start....if you knew Rhonda this interior is really just a reflection on her fabulousness (not sure if that is a word...) She embraced colour, pattern & design....everything DITC stands for...her request was that every space had to feel amazing & have it's own personality. So...we combined wallpapers, fabrics, cabinetry, mirrors, Caesar stone's latest stone Crocodile Motivo...OMG amazing, tiles, stones, timbers, glass, steel...UMMM what more could one want???



If we focus on the laundry for s split second....who else would love a hot pink & black space???...then to the master ensuite...black & white stripe tiles with hot pink bisazza tiles....hot pink make up space....can you believe her husband allowed us??? Well three against one...what do you do??? jokes!!



There is still more to come...we have to invite you on the tour of the outside.....TBC...





And a little small thank you to Rhonda, we had so sooo much enjoyment with designing your home...you are such a beautiful person (not only our client) & the last year has been an absolute pleasure, you will be a friend for life.....& yes Monday's & Martini's is a must!!






Have a fabulous weekend & see you next time!!!
