This gorgeous scheme is coming together for a new project - a cottage that will function as both home-office and living space. Thanks to Thea and glen at for your fabulous presentation of international fabrics last week where I stumbled across the perfect patterns. I’m also helping select materials for the new landscaping outside. A lovely project coming together.

Sharing a fabulous bedroom from my Brooklyn Project. There’s lots of design detail in this room alone - from the gorgeously warm walls paired with reupholstered headboard, custom bedding, curtains ceiling hung, and custom furniture from Woodwrights and Montreux. And then my client lent it an artistic touch with the colour-disrupting blue artwork. Love it all! A joy to design, and much loved by the owners. Photos by .beattie

Sharing one of my favourite rooms in my Brooklyn Project. It’s a masterclass in mixing old with new. My clients wished to keep their dining table and chairs, so to tie them in, I had the seats reupholstered in a modern and playful fabric. The footstools were also reupholstered, with the trim being an offcut from material used elsewhere. The Roman blinds are a statement, splendidly pulling all the colours together. Grounding the room is a woollen rug custom-coloured and sized for this room. The result is cohesive and interesting. It’s a room the owners will never tire of, and one which is set to be the making of many memorable dinners. Photos by .beattie

I’m delighted to share my Brooklyn project, featured in this month’s . This lovely owner reached out to me just before extensive architectural renovations got under way. For a period of 18 months we worked on the colours, interior materials and furniture and styling details - with the result being an interior that is cohesive, comfortable, unexpected and joyful. These photos show a little of the living area and hallway, beautifully displaying some of their wonderful contemporary art collection. The ceilings you see here are a soft green, colour drenched from main living room wall colour. Photos by .beattie Further posts to come, sharing various rooms.

The owners of this Karori home now have the loveliest living space. They contacted me for colour advice, and the initial consultation led to many changes taking place. I had this south-facing living room colour drenched in a soft green which is utterly divine - both warming and calming. This morning we installed these fluid velvet lined drapes from ceiling to floor which has added glamour. Sheers behind soften the light when needed. Scroll for a before pic, and also to see the right difference curtains make to a room. 👌Perfection. A big shout out to my wonderful Wellington curtain makers who do a perfect job every time.

For my Island Bay Project clients who love to cook, their new kitchen was the most important room in the house to perfect. While the full-home renovation was finished just before Christmas, I only returned to take photos on Friday. The great thing about the time-lapse is I saw how the house is being used 👌, and heard how well everything works. The owners are thrilled with everything about this kitchen - not just the materials and style which suit them perfectly, but the functionality and feel. To me the wooden bench top is the star of the show, as are the mosaic tiles with their texture and thick grouting. A few more photos to come over the next few days of other spaces in this home. Thanks to - in particular Marty - for his care and attention to detail to the joinery and finish.

On the workroom table this week: the gorgeous material and colour palette for a Villa I’ve been working on these last few weeks. The interior style for this home is, in words: Modern heritage, simple elegance and welcoming. It also has a wee Paris twist. Curtain fabrics ordered today, which means move-in date is just around the corner!

Art and architecture in Autumn - a few days in Sydney visiting my daughter very well spent! Stumbled across the flower market which was a joy; caught the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in the splendid concert hall at the Opera House (pink upholstered seats - love) - oh, and thousands of steps taken checking out architecture in suburbs previously unknown, and from Bondi to Coogee today! Thanks Sydney!

Some lovely feedback from an Eastbourne job. I really loved working on this home - which was actually typical of many I work on. My clients already had a beautiful home but it was very tired with dated furniture and in need of dressing. I helped with new settees, chairs, coffee tables, lighting, plus reupholstery, soft furnishings and layout. The result is just gorgeous - customised to their style and needs, their architecture and position beside the sea. Loved working on this home.

This is one of the narrowest and intrinsically darkest bathrooms I’ve ever designed. Now complete, it is one of the prettiest and most inviting! At just 1.2m wide with the only access being the end wall, it took a significant amount of design-prowess to improve the layout and add adequate storage. The vanity is just 30cm wide but 1.5m long, but it works due to a protruding basin and in-set storage behind the mirror. The wallpaper does the rest of the work making the window-less room inviting and comfortable. This bathroom is one of 2 finished in the same home - the other shared earlier this week. Both use the same tiles and fixtures for continuity. I’m thrilled with the result, as are the owners. Brilliant building as always by
