Im loving this Box timber chair from Catapult Design by Designer NathanWhite from Sydney’s northern beaches, a skilled boat builder by trade he works with his wife — together they are Mr & Mrs White. Their work is in simple, honest timber furniture pieces, Im loving the simplicity of this chair available from Catapult Design showroom.
Garden Life (every stylists favourite outdoor/garden store) have opened a second store in St Peters and is now open. The 1100 square meter warehouse space is an inspiring outdoor destination where Richard Unsworth has curated a selection of pots, planters, plant specimens and accessories, from exotic locations such as Africa, Morocco, Italy, India and Burma.
Garden Life Established 14 years ago in Darlinghurst, Garden Life is a celebration of the unique, the natural, the contemporary and the ancient, stocking local and internationally sourced products to enhance any space. Garden Life Redfern [2008] is still the creative gardening hub for outdoor living solutions that are intuitive and individual. Redfern’s Garden Life is also the location for Unsworth’s first Community Garden initiative where he is the founding member.

Robert Gordon Australia is proudly a family of three generations run business with a heritage of 30 years. Their Melboure based studio is a far cry from the original tin shed the family business started in.I recently had a tour of their operations and was excited to see the inner workings of all their processes. Offering a broad selection of serving ware, cook and bake ware, they produce some of the best Australian made ceramics and I’m lucky to have a number of their pieces in my very own cupboard. I love shopping and supporting local where possible and I’m excited to share these images of their latest offerings.

I have always been a fan of awesome rugs but not so much carpet. A rug can be a very important item in a rooms decor. It can define a space, make a statement or even just be practical, so think about what goes underfoot!
Armadillo & Co quite honestly make great rugs and recently launched their latest collections including their new indoor outdoor collection and also the new Marle collection. I’m especially loving these pool side images (below)
All Armadillo & Co rugs are made in India under fair trade practices – working closely and fairly with these artisans and helping to preserve these handcraft techniques and also donating to The Anganwadi Project A beautiful rug is a great investment.
Recently I styled some images for Palm Beach Collection a lesson in simplicity and restraint – less is sometimes more.
