Making an Entrance

I believe first impressions count.  Even if your entrance is not a grand scale space you should still make an impact, setting the tone for the rest of the home.  This hallway in my clients Paddington terrace is only a small space.  The wallpaper lends it much needed impact.  Colours and patterns seen in the adjourning lounge blend seamlessly, giving guests a hit of what is to come as the home unveils itself.

Nursery Musings

This week I finished up my final job for a client in Perth. That means my full attention is now focused on the nursery. The only problem is that this will be a temporary room as we are designing a new home. I would love to do a soft chinoiserie mural like the one above, mixed in with these gorgeous chairs from the J.K Place hotel.  I not sure I will get enough use out of the room to justify the cost of the mural. A take on these chairs will definitely find their way into the space, as I can always re use them in the new house.
