What do you think of Benjamin Moore's Colour of the Year for 2025 - Cinnamon Slate?

I love the gorgeous rich plum colour which contains enough grey to work perfectly for interiors. Beautiful partnered with warm white and greige tones.

Have you heard of colour drenching? This is when every surface in a room is painted in the same colour including walls, trim, joinery and sometimes even the ceiling too. At first glance, it sounds overwhelming, however this is a useful design tool to use as depending on the colour and tone you select, it can create a very calming environment that acts as a background for artworks and other items you want to display.

How would you like to go away for 6 months and you

How would you like to go away for 6 months and your designer daughters renovate your apartment for you? How would you feel if it was a complete surprise?

Alisa and Lysandra, design duo sisters, did just that for their mum. They remodelled the bathroom to make it larger, but otherwise kept the footprint and gave it an amazing makeover.

I have the full house tour over on my blog.

Transitional Style is a gorgeous blend of classic style with contemporary streamlined elements. The result is a comfortable space that is elegant and stylish. I just love this bedroom - what do you think?

Have you noticed how appliance cupboards are getting larger? These are great for storing appliances that you don't want on show all the time and perfect for a coffee and tea making area.

Pocket doors have been used in this design which is perfect as they slide to the side of the cabinet and keep out of everyone's way.

Always consider how you will finish the interior of an appliance cupboard like this one. Continuing the use of marble works well here and using a timber veneer for the shelving adds another nice design point.

Choosing a kitchen benchtop is not straight forwar

Choosing a kitchen benchtop is not straight forward as there are so many different types; natural marble, granite, quartz, reconstituted stones from companies like Caesarstone, Smartstone and Quantum Quartz, timber, porcelain, stainless steel, concrete and MORE!

The right choice, let alone the colour, is overwhelming.

I have a detailed post over on my blog to run you through the pros and cons of each type and to help you narrow down this important choice.

This was my favourite kitchen on The Block this week. Courtney and Grant came third, but should have taken out first place with this stunning on trend walnut kitchen. I have all the kitchens with my comments over on my blog.

A stunning mix of marble and grey blue panelling in this beautiful bathroom. Notice how the ceiling is in the same blue grey? This creates a very intimate space and ensures the look is sophisticated rather than clinical.

I am in love with this house from sailorswhisk. What a gorgeous colour scheme. This is the beauty and appeal of a weatherboard house. You can use colours for exteriors that you could never get away with on a flat rendered finish. A very pretty home with a beautiful natural garden.
