A navy Blue and White kitchen is timeless. Softer

A navy Blue and White kitchen is timeless. Softer than black, navy blue is a great choice if you would like a dark kitchen but don't want it to be too heavy.

For a classic look, use brass hardware and introduce lots of greenery.

Do you love this look?

On a recent trip to England I revisited a house that I used to live in. I didn't get to go inside, but just standing outside filled me with lots of emotion.

This was my family home when I was a late teenager. It's an English Heritage Grade II listed cottage with lots of history, including some of mine.

This was all the more poignant as the trip was to attend my dad's funeral. The doors throughout are very low and my dad was 6 feet tall, so there was lots of bad language until he remembered to duck his head!

Have you ever revisited houses that you have lived in? How did it make you feel to think that an entire new family is now living there?

Coastal style will always be one of the most popul

Coastal style will always be one of the most popular in Australia. Other styles come and go, but this one is enduring.

Styling a coastal interior though needs updating from time to time. My blog post shows you how to curate this style without it looking contrived.

Do you love this style?

I am a big fan of green and it has made my heart sing to see the trend growing stronger for green kitchens. In fact, I’m wondering whether green is the new navy blue. I swoon over most kitchens with colour, although my own one is white! But I can dream and I am pretty sure that if I had another kitchen to makeover, I would opt for a gorgeous rich grey green. Have you considered green for your kitchen cabinetry?

Greige is the perfect combination of beige and grey which makes it great for classic and timeless homes.

I have the full story on my blog - click the link in my bio.

I would love to hear if you have used it or plan to in the future.

When it comes to buying or designing a house, do y

When it comes to buying or designing a house, do you prefer open plan spaces or a series of more intimate individual rooms? Both layouts for me have their merits, but I think you have to be very careful when opting for a full open plan solution. Before getting carried away with designing a house you really need to consider so many points and whether something that you like the look of is actually right for you and your family.

You need to consider the question of open plan vs individual rooms carefully.

What are your thoughts on this question? How do you feel about open plan vs individual rooms? I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Do you have any good ideas for effective open plan layouts?

Which kitchen pendants should I choose is one of t

Which kitchen pendants should I choose is one of the questions that I am most often asked.

I think that the issue that people have is that there are so many on the market to choose from and a wide range of styles.

Then there is the question of how many pendants they should have.

Too often, this is a choice that is made at the end of the kitchen selections process but this decision, together with other styling touches, should really be part of the initial kitchen plan.

I show you how in my blog.

A sofa can be amongst the most expensive furniture

A sofa can be amongst the most expensive furniture decisions you will make and you should expect one to last for a decent amount of time.

Styles come and go and our tastes change over the years, so with such a significant investment you need to carefully consider this choice.

Ensure you determine the style that you love and select something that is timeless to work with that style.

I have lots to tell you about what you need to consider over on my blog.

Have you read all the advice in my blog but still

Have you read all the advice in my blog but still not sure which colour to paint your house?

Are you concerned that you have made the right choice for your kitchen colours and finishes? Are you still confused about which flooring to select for your new home?

Have you selected the right colour for your roof?

If you have interior decorating or colour problems then I can help with an online colour consultation.

You can sign up for a one-on-one online colour Consultation where you get to speak with me about your decorating/colour problem and send me photos to review.

You may have already chosen colours and finishes for your new dream home but are concerned that you haven’t made the right choices. Building is expensive so you may want a second opinion to ensure you are on the right track. For example, does the stone benchtop you chose work with the cabinet colour? Should you have selected a darker floor or a different style of front door? Do you like the selections you have made but are just not confident that it all comes together well?

If this is you, then I can help. The process is simple and I have a number of packages to assist you.
