Penthouse Perfection

This penthouse currently for sale in Sydney around the corner from my beloved Paddington takes my breath away. A roof top garden with spectacular views sets it apart from anything else on the market. It has been listed for a while now, maybe the price is off. I can't imagine why it hasn't been snapped up by some lucky buyer yet.

Bathing Beauty

I have long had a soft spot for serene spa like bathrooms. In my opinon this display bathroom designed by Traditional Homes Robert Young is one of the most spectatular I have seen in a long time. His choices are bold, resulting a real sense of theatre in the room. The first image would have to be my favourite with the frestanding bath floating in the middle of the room on a marble tile carpet framed by the pale green shutter doors. The dramatic glass mosaic tile mural from Ann Sacks above the vanity is the icing on the cake!

I was emailed a new addition to White Upholstery's sofa line which I can't wait to use on a job. I think it would work well used in an entrance way or as banquet seating for a dining space. Here are some of my favorite banquet set ups to fall in love with!

Amoire From Bronte Tram

Velvet Wing Chair From Bronte Tram

This weekend I convinced my long suffering husband to come on a shopping trip to source some one off pieces for the baby's nursery. As we are not finding out the sex I have decided on a colour scheme of silver, white, grey and aqua. I came across two great items at Bronte Tram. I'm think of purchasing this armoire and having it silver leafed, I might even add two drops of aqua toile behind the wire mesh in the doors.

Bathroom Bliss

Main Bathroom Vanity

Powder Room

I have had some requests from readers to publish pictures of the bathrooms in my house. I have posted the picture of my powder room before put never the main bathroom. The double vanity was created by joining two mirrored chest of draws together and having a piece of stone made to fit the top.

Hamptons Style Installation

Ornate mirror for above the dining table.

Dining chairs in the meals area, lantern lighting is being installed above the table.

Extra long sofa for the main living area. Feather inserts have been used for extra comfort.

Fabric selections for the job.

This Friday I am installing a job that has been many months in the planning. The design has a destinct Hamptons feel and I am excited to see it all come together for the client. Here are some of the pieces we are using and the fabric selections. My personal favourite is the navy and white ticking stripe fabric that is going on the occasional chairs. The sisal flooring and textured wallpaper I have specified will complete the look. Stay tuned for the finished pics!

Bree, Leigh & Baby Make Three!

If anyone has seen me lately waddling around the fabric houses in Sydney you may have notice that my waistline is expanding. My husband and I are over the moon to announce that we are expecting our first child. I am four months pregnant, this explains why I have been slightly slower of late (it's not easy getting around town in heels when your pregnant).

Now the fun begins, decorating the nursery! I will be sure to post pics once I have finished.

You may have noticed my absence from the blog over the last few days. I was fortunate enough to be taking a few days rest and relaxation with my husband in Thailand. We stayed at the chilled out Sala resort and indulged in their luxurious spa treatments. It was the perfect way to recharge before the pre christmas design rush.

Seneca Textiles

I am loving Seneca linens at the moment. The quality is exceptional and the designs are timeless classics. The greek key design in black and white is a favourite of my, I just can't resist that colour combination.
