Bibby + Brady Styling Evening

Last Thursday Dael & I held our first Bibby + Brady styling evening at 'The Box' in Ahuriri, Napier. It's something we'd been wanting to do for a while, and when we found the fabulous venue, owned by Mackersey Development, we knew it was the perfect spot for us. A large shipping container on a paved stage, overlooking a lovely grass park area, it's situated behind Globe Theatre and Milk & Honey.

We decorated The Box with bright pink and orange dots that the amazing team at Good Regards had made especially for us in our logo colours. And we were absolutely thrilled when Lindauer sent us a case of their award-winning Champion Bubbles, Lindauer Classic Rosé to share with our guests. It is so delicious, and the perfect addition to any girls' night.



Once everyone had a drink and time to mingle, we gathered them around for a bit of a chat. Dael (who is a brilliant public speaker) gave a short intro about us and what we do - we work with clients, both residential and commercial, and design spaces to suit their needs and their personalities. Freedom Furniture lent us their CBD console table for the evening, as well as some of their homeware, and the rest came from our own homes. We styled the table in three different looks, giving tips as we went on how to achieve a similar look yourself.



We had such a brilliant audience. All our guests were so lovely and the night was a great success for us. We hope to hold more workshops in the future, so if you're in the Hawke's Bay area and would be interested in coming along to our workshops, send me an email. I'll let you know all the details about our future events. 

Thank you to the lovely Vanessa White who took all the photographs for us.

Painted Walls

Phew, it's been a massive week for me! I've got a lot of exciting jobs on the go, and last night Dael & I held our first Bibby + Brady styling evening (more about that later). I'm on major catch-up mode now, even though all I feel like doing is curling up with a good book and chilling. I hope you all have a fabulous Friday and weekend ahead of you. I'll leave you with some beautifully painted walls. I hope it inspires you to be daring and get creative.

yellow & gray are a perfect match, and this clever use of paint highlights the fire and adds to the warmth

a bit of masking tape and a lot of creativity can get you amazing results

Magenta Magic

You all know by now that colour is my drug! It makes me happy - simple as that. But there's one colour in particular that makes my heart beat a little bit faster than the rest... call it what you like - magenta, hot pink, fuchsia, crimson - I'm crazy about it. Team it with inky blues, crisp white, emerald green, or sparkling gold and I'm swooning!

Is there a colour that has the same effect on you?
