Geometrics and pastels

By -








The song bird print is available here


We are in the middle of winter here in Melbourne and we have all been sick with colds and the flu, yuk. I was in need of some perking up so I decided to rearrange my lounge room - as you do. I am loving all the fresh pastels colours and flat geometric patterns around at the moment and so I decided to have a go myself. I swooped all the old silver and dark wood off the mantle piece and replaced it with  large and small geometric paintings, a few graphic prints and some simple shapes and colours. I bought in my pink corduroy couch to match with the pink in the painting and voila a fresh new look in my lounge - yay! As they say a change is as good as a holiday, but I could do with one of those too...

I had Contry Style Magazine come and do a shoot at my home in May... a few months later and the issue finally hits the shelves. Yay! I am very pleased with the way it all turned out. Sharyn Cairns took some wonderful photographs and captured our home beautifully, while Virginia Imhoff wrote a lovely piece about all the bits and pieces in our home and how much we have traveled etc. The ' where there's tea there's hope ' print got a big feature in the shoot and on the editors letter, which we are so pleased about and the orders have already coming rolling in. Ooooh I must say it is quite a thrill to see my own home and work in print, I am most flattered!
