Is anyone else just going, what?! It’s 3 weeks til Christmas! 🙈🙈🙈 I’m still mentally back in at least early November, if not earlier 🤣 I’m slowly winding down for the year which I’m loving because I’m totally worn out. I’m looking forward to more bed time. This lovely bedroom was styled by moi 😊

I’ve slowly been working on my hallway this year and it’s almost finished…almost 😝 I had some downtime today ( It’s been a while 😅😳) and hung my artwork. @lady_snuffles_snufflette helped me ☺️ A friend described it as a tropical brothel which I’m ok with 🤣 If you’re going to make a statement, start at the front door 💁‍♀️

My old favourite colour combo, pink and grey. You can’t go wrong with these tones. 💞☑️💞☑️💞☑️

Today’s install in Kew. I carried through lots of pink and purple tones 💜💗💞💜💕💜 #nobeige

I’m back! So after a bumpy start a few weeks ag

I’m back! So after a bumpy start a few weeks ago, mainly ‘Can I? Can’t I?’ with the government guidelines not being clear, I’m finally back styling. The backlog that I was dreading hit me hard, I ended up styling 8 homes over 5 days 😅 The most work I’ve ever carried out in a short period of time 😬🙈 10-12 hour days. BUT, I did it, I survived and it was so great to be back working. I’m grateful to work when so many others still can’t. So here are 6 of the homes I styled. I didn’t manage to photograph 2 in the craziness of my week 🤪🤷‍♀️ when I was running from one property to the next.

How are you keeping busy during lockdown? My days

How are you keeping busy during lockdown? My days are a mixture of eating cake, walking Snuffles ( sometimes twice daily 😬) baking cake, eating more cake and painting. There is some work thrown in here and there, gotta pay the bills hey?! But the difference for me in this long lockdown and last years is giving myself permission to do much less. I’ve got so many properties waiting for me to style after lockdown, so I know I’m not going to have much of a life. Or a while 🤷‍♀️😅 Last year I really struggled to feel like I was constantly achieving. It was exhausting. I wish I had painted last year though. I’ve so enjoyed putting my creative artist hat ( a beret of course 😅) back on. Which is your favourite? These will be going into my styling stock so you’ll be seeing them again at some point soon all styled looking pretty!

It’s been a little while since I spoke about mys

It’s been a little while since I spoke about myself, this picture was from a few months ago in the ye olde days when we could leave the house.

I thought I’d tell you 5 things about me you may or may not know 🤷‍♀️☺️

1- I’m one of those freakish few who always knew what they wanted to do as a child. When I was 8 my family built the home I grew up in Eltham and we spent A LOT of time visiting display homes getting ideas. Do I remember the homes? No. Do I remember the fake fruit on the bench?! Yes I do! 😅 After that process I knew I wanted to get into the interiors world. I’m grateful I’ve always known, I suppose in some ways it’s made my life easier.

2- I’m totally a product of the 90s. I still quote The Simpsons and I’m disappointed when my younger friends don’t get my references 🤣

3- When I was 16 I was super obsessed with Oasis and with some friends, managed to stay at the hotel they were staying at in Melbourne. We got invited to their after party. I have a photo with Liam! They all were the nicest guys and to this day it was one of the best nights of my life. I’m still surprised my parents let me 😆🤔

4- After finishing my studies, I moved to London at the age of 20. I can’t believe I went so young but I survived and loved it so, so, so much. I stayed for about 2 years. I was so sad to come home and took years to get over it.

5- I’m a proud redhead. I’ve never dyed my hair. My hair was much brighter when I was younger so in my mind I’m still that redhead. When out walking Snuffles and I see a Pomeranian ( or similarly coloured dogs) I often point out to the owner their hair is the same colour as mine 🤣🤷‍♀️ They will most likely think I’m weird.

I hope these facts gave you a giggle or some sort of reaction 🤷‍♀️😅

I’m not often awake early enough to see the sun

I’m not often awake early enough to see the sun rise or at least pay attention to it, but this morning I was so lucky! For a few minutes it just kept getting better 🥰 Not sure about you, but my sleep is all over the shop during lockdown, hence the early wake up. I can confirm that I will be napping later though 😅

We made it through Monday 🥳 Hopefully tomorrow will be Melbourne’s last day of lockdown for a while 🤞🤞🤞Not sure about you, but my time in bed goes up a lot during lockdown 😅🤷‍♀️🤪 especially with the cold weather. Here’s a bedroom I styled recently.

I installed this property last month and it was a delight to style. I just did the living room but when it’s a property very different to the usual ones I style, I get excited all the same. I introduced a little glam into this tree top apartment.

So these are my finished bookshelves in my home.

I recently styled a stunning townhouse in East Ivanhoe. It was such a beautiful home. Super modern but very homely. Not all styling jobs are this lovely unfortunately 😆 But I love challenge, and the old, not so aesthetically pleasing houses challenge me so! You’ve gotta take the good with the bad hey?!

It’s lockdown which means I’ve had actual time

It’s lockdown which means I’ve had actual time ( what?! 😱 what is that? 🤔) to think about my apartment. This is terrible, but they do come in handy to get shit done. I know, I know. 🙈 I’m forced to look at my semi renovated house for longer than normal 😬😳It makes me get stuff done. So I’ve decided on the palm tree wallpaper design to go with the geometric one. Who says you can’t put pattern with pattern? Me. I’m saying it. Watch this space. At some point in the future I’ll have an actual entire room finished 🤣 It’ll be super over the top but it will make me super happy 😃

Not sure about you, but every time a lockdown hits

Not sure about you, but every time a lockdown hits, my focus, motivation and general enthusiasm wane. Or go out the window 🤷‍♀️😅 It’s hard to get out of bed in the morning when it’s been so cold 🥶 too. You’d think I’d be used to it by now hey?! 🤪 5 times around and I’m sure there’ll be more 😬🙄🤷‍♀️😝 Here’s a cosy looking bed that would be nice to snuggle in. Styled by moi.

B E F O R E // A F T E R This room was a tricky layout ( 3.5m by 6m) to work with but i knew it definitely needed some colour to bring it to life. Swipe to see before and the happy vendors words ☺️ Hopefully it’ll be on the market soon.

Here’s a sunshiny space to warm you up on this cold Thursday ☀️🌞🌤 I like the cold but Melbourne, this morning you went too far. 0 degrees is too much I think 🤔 😆🤷‍♀️

I forgot to post this from a while ago, finally getting the wallpaper up that I’ve been thinking about for ages! Probably since the last Melbourne lockdown right 😅 My entry hall is getting some bling to go with the magenta 🥰 With the announcement of the extended lockdown I’m determined to get lots of painting done 💪 Yesterday I painted some gross old window frames, turning them into crisp white. But being ye olde, I’ve had to use oil paint. Mmmm, nothing like being trapped in with some oil paint fumes 👎 🤣 I still haven’t finished 😬 I’ve since baked chocolate chip cookies so the smells have blended nicely 😅😆🤷‍♀️
