Weekend


Have a great time this weekend wherever you are, whatever you do. It's Australia Day on Monday so I'll be back on Tuesday.

Talking About Diane Bergeron...


I received the most beautiful invitation from her yesterday to the opening of her very exciting new showroom in Melbourne. I just had to show you the invite which is printed on fabric...so beautiful!! Oh and guess who is going to be the special guest????.....Michelle Adams from Rubie Green. Michelle is also coming to Australia to talk at the upcoming Decoration + Design Seminar Series in Sydney....can't wait to hear her talk.

Inspiration for 2009


We've all talked about Inspiration Boards before...they definitely aren't a new topic in Blogland! Probably like most creative people, I usually like to start each year with a new board to get myself inspired and excited about the year ahead. However, I have to be completely honest I haven't started my new 2009 board yet. My Black & Spiro Girls keep trying to nudge me to just put one picture on my humongous linen covered board in my office but I just haven't been able to do it.

Last night however, when I was looking at Diane Bergeron's awe-inspiring board I started to get in the mood. So, tomorrow I have some time free in which I plan to get started on my latest board and today's purchase {for Black & Spiro's new stock} of a very beautiful old circa 1900's Chesterfield sofa in original floral linen with box pleated skirting, will be just the thing to get me going.

I'd love to pose some questions to you, my readers...

What have you added to your inspiration board lately? What and who are you inspired by at the moment? What colours are you loving for 2009?

Pale Blue Fixation


It's becoming increasingly obvious {see posts below} that I am totally smitten with pale blue at the moment. I adore the blue painted floors in this house.
