Caribbean Coastal Chic


I just wanted to share a lovely project I have been working on at the coast .....


My lovely clients are originally from Trinidad and they wanted to remember their island home ....


so for their coastal apartment we went with a caribbean style .. with palm tree lampbases, Waverley "Coral" cushions,  Designers Guild stripe wallpaper and the most beautiful artwork by Kerri Shipp of www.driftwoodinteriors.com.au
 with the coral being framed in floating glass so that the wallpaper would show through ..... my friend Dee helped me hang the artwork yesterday and it looks so beautiful ...




it makes me feel like sitting under a palm tree!  Have a great week!

Chocolate Sour Cream Cake ........


Just a quick post to show you the delicious Chocolate Sour Cream cake that I bought back with me from our trip to Brisbane .... this gorgeous cake is from Jocelyn's Provisions and one of my favourite haunts...


so we had a little cup of tea, some chicken and rocket sandwiches and "the cake"!  I know it is a Tuesday and we should be working but just sometimes it is nice to say I will take this hour and I will enjoy this time ....... the cake had to go back in the fridge for later as we certainly could not partake of it all!  So my lovely friend, Tonya, had bought the beautiful Charbonnel chocolates hiding under the glass dome!


that then leads to this beautiful fabric which I have been working on for Tonya and it is such a stunning piece from Designer's Guild ..... I also have done a wallpaper for my friend Becky in the gold and white .... the urns are so French and so divine ....



.... another friend of mine, Dee, who is an art gallery curator is currently working on a fabulous exhibition which involves artwork of tea-cups, silver sugar bowls, wedding cakes and lots more ...... she has asked me to organize some beautiful cushions and drops for the exhibition ....



and then after I pulled the washing off the line after a big day .... this beautiful rose was there waiting to be picked and stand elegantly beside my blue ginger jar in the kitchen ....

have a wonderful week .....

Happy Easter!



HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE ~  Georgiana and I were lucky enough to share a "Mad Hatter's High Tea" at The Stamford Plaza in Brisbane with her cousins!   


The table settings were exquisite and the mad hatter himself couldn't have done a better job ..... there were tick tock clock cupcakes, white chocolate rabbits, sandwiches the colour of pink and green .... toadstool macaroons,  pink lemonade and sparkling champagne ...... delicious tea .... a perfect setting for a high tea!




Georgiana and I waiting for her cousins .....

I forgot to mention this little delicate morsel .... pink fairy floss covering the most delicious caramel creme brulee .....

I hope you all had a beautiful and special Easter with your family and friends because they are the most cherished of all!
