Fleming's Nursery

Every year Fleming's Nursery and co-sponsor Trailfinders showcase the creations of Australian landscape designers like Jack Merlo, Dean Herald, Jim Fogarty and Mark Browning at the Chelsea Flower Show. With gold medals under their belt their show gardens are eagerly awaited each year. Perhaps the British love them so much because they dream of using rooms like this all year round .... just like we do here in Australia.

Retro Kids' rooms

"Children love exuberant, often vividly-bold colors and color combinations, so plan a room with a more dazzlingcolor scheme than you might give yourself....." Words of wisdom from "Practical Decorating Ideas", Ure Smith - Sydney, 1973. If you can find it buy it! More photos are definitely coming from this retro treasure.

Love this renovation

Behind an Edwardian facade in Richmond, Melbourne Architects EAT have designed this extraordinary renovation and extension. The design is sophisticated yet minimal reflecting a contemporary lifestyle. Light filters through strip glazing in the ceiling while black gloss floors anchor the white Edwardian jewel box. Hard concrete finishes mark the transition to the new. Love this space. Love the filmy black drapes as room divider. Love.

Fresh out of my inbox

I came home from a boring day at work to find an email from Greg Natale, our fav designer, in my inbox. Here's what he had to say to go along with the totally breath-taking photos he included.
"This is one of my favorite projects. This house was designed for a couple with 4 children. Each room is themed a different colour and Florence Broadhurst pattern to reflect its use or user. We wanted this house to be full of personality. We mixed organic and geometric print with modern, retro and repro furniture to produce a result that is an interesting mix of opposites."
OMG!!! Greg - these rooms are utterly fabulous. The patterns, the colours... you are a genius. (And keep the photos coming!!!!)
