BTS: FRENCH WITH A TWIST

It was one crazy world wind week last week and part of it included shooting one of the latest projects I completed this year, the Castle Hill Bathroom & Interiors renovation. It was a mixture of designing, styling advice and then putting it all together, assisting on site and much more. The best part though is that you get to see your design and advice taken on board by your clients to achieve something that they really cannot believe is there home. It is a long process but it is all very much worth it in the end, especially when your clients turn into friends. I am very proud of how they have taken on board everything that I have helped them with as well as the development of their new upstairs bathrooms. The brief was french with a twist, the couple love to travel, so we made sure to include lots of travelling pictures from their journeys.  I cannot wait to share all the images online on my website as well as blog. For the meantime here are some little behind the scenes pictures from our shoot.

ALL THINGS FRENCH

Elements I love, last week had a launch and viewing party of their new French shipment that became available to the public last Thursday. It was exciting to go along and get an exclusive preview into all the treasures they have found while they were sourcing the pieces over in France. It has been a years worth of hard work and foresight but I have to say it has definitely paid off as the pieces they have in store are absolutely amazing. Think Gatsby era, think glamour, think Marie Antoinette inspired and all things really cool, retro and funky. If you are looking for a very individual and unique piece with a bit of history and culture behind it, you must head over to Elements I love in Surry Hills and get exploring and put your interiors thinking cap on.

It is so important as a designer to know what is one the market at all times because when you are working on several projects with different briefs the things you see around and know about pop into your mind as soon as you find the perfect brief for it. Having as many resources as possible and product knowledge is key when specifying, you know what will work where and who to get it from instantly.

Here are some behind the scenes shots from the evening last week, you can find a lot more about Elements I love here and by following them on Facebook & Instagram @elements_i_love.

FRENCH INSPIRED

Tonight I am heading to the unveiling of the new french collection and discoveries for Elements I Love.
It is everything French inspired with lots of new pieces found on their recent trip. It is sure to be a very exciting and inspiring evening.

It got me thinking about all things French and interiors related. Do you love the French Provincial look?
Do you think it is classic and elegant? Do you think it is timeless?

Take a look at these inspiring pictures I found on my Pinterest to get us ready for tonights viewing!
I will be featuring my update and sneak peek into the new Elements I Love collection next week.

SNAPSHOTS

Yesterday I was on a sourcing trip and in an client meeting and fell in love with some new materials. Also, how great is this tap?! You would not believe where it was sourced from! It is still a secret, but stay tuned.
