Artwork in our living room A mixture of originals, vintage and prints Artwork by Ali McNabney Stevens and Sweet William Prints Sweet William prints Slowly but surely we are putting our new home together, piece by piece. One of the things I love the most about our Edwardian home, is the height of the ceilings. While this gives our home a sense of grandeur and space, it has given us new challenges with regards to our art collection. Over the years we have picked up pieces of original artwork from places we have visited and from people that have inspired us. These pieces, mixed in with my artwork and the work of dear friends, has created a lovely eclectic art collection that we our proud of.

We have wonderful Art Deco lead light windows. As it looked when we bought it. Beautiful textures on the old walls. Original Edwardian tiles The successful  auction day! Move in day.  Finding places for all our things in our new space. After many happy years of living in semi-rural, beautiful Warrandyte (24 km east of Melbourne CBD see previous post here ).
