Our house was featured on The Design Files! For me this was pretty much a dream come true since I am a massive fan of this brilliant design blog! Our Patchy Rugs took centre stage and I couldn’t have been happier with how it all turned out. Big thanks go to Sean Fennessy and of course to the lovely Lucy!!
Pretty excited that Modern Times#3 has come around and Patchy Rugs (my rug company) is part of it once again. I truly believe it’s their best yet! Located in the most incredible space, they have filled it with Danish vintage furniture, contemporary art, jewellery and design pieces by local artists.
I know I am biased but our rugs just work so well with the furniture and everyone was so complimentary about them! Thank you!!
Do go check it out and see my all time favourite rug. It’s the one that looks like a starry sky and is called Alberto.
And to top it all off the lovely Lucy from The Design Files featured Modern Times today and Patchy Rugs snuck into two of the shots! Pretty stoked to say the least!

Our friends, Sunni and James tied the knot. The wedding was made truly special with beautiful hand made touches, vintage croquet sets and my favourite flowers, peonies! This lush fairytale was set on their family farm in regional NSW, amongst vast fields making it seem like we had stumbled across an oasis. A stunning day full of love, fun and friends!

Modern Times Pop-Up shop ( 260 Smith St, Collingwood ) has opened! Amy and Joel have done such an amazing job at filling the shop with drop dead gorgeous furniture, products and artwork! It is open until December 31st. Come down and see for yourself! Trust me you are going to find it hard to leave empty handed.

I have started a new venture!
I am selling remastered Turkish rugs that are just stunning! (If I do say so myself) The patchwork rugs have been overdyed and made by sewing patches from different rugs together to create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts! The rugs are of the highest quality and no matter what your furniture or interior style, there is a rug that will bring warmth to your space. Check out our recently launched website at patchyrugs.com.au
Patchyrugs are also being stocked in Modern Times Pop-Up shop ( 260 Smith St, Collingwood ) from 9 December! Come down and see them for yourself!

I had never been to Barwon Heads before and found it to be a very trendy little area. In fact I was totally impressed. In particular the styling in Moss Grotto was done so well that I had to include almost every photo I took! I must have looked at and touched everything in this jam-packed shop and ended up buying the three wise ‘rabbits’ (in the last image). I also loved the blackboard which described what seemed to be the aims and motivations of the shop. What a great way for the owners to make sure that they are staying true to their vision. And putting it right out there for everyone to see is a perfect way to show customers what you are all about.

A house to die for in Albert Park. Love the interior and warmth of each room. There seems to be a real livability about it which I want to create in my home. The mixture of interesting pieces set against the gorgeous Victorian archways make me ooh and aah.

I visited Madame Truffles on the weekend where freshly harvested truffles will be sold for the month of July in South Melbourne. Besides the aromatic woody truffles, the space is beautifully set up thanks to Greg Hatton, Leila Sanderson and florist Katie Marx. St Ali next door were serving a scrambled egg and truffle dish to top it off. Truffles s’il vous plaît!

House shopping lets me peek into other people’s homes and be inspired by their styling ideas.
