A Heart Felt Thanks & Happy Holidays!

Well, it's Christmas Eve, much excitement fills our house. I'm sorry for my absence yesterday, Mark and I had the wedding of one of our closest friends over the weekend, down in Wellington.  It was one of those epic weddings - the most incredible location, fantastic people, we danced and laughed the night away, and even got to channel some Katniss Everdeen with a spot of archery, clay bird shooting, and knife throwing.

I'm heading to the lake for a few days to recharge after an extremely busy and exciting year. I will back with you early January, and look forward to bringing you massive doses of colour and inspiration. Thank you so much for all your loyalty and support over the year. Feel free to leave a comment or email me anytime if you have feedback or requests for blog content. 2014 is a great reason for exciting new content.

Black, White & Yellow | Three Ways

Black and white is such a classic pairing - it's light and dark, yin and yang, opposites attract. You can't go wrong with black and white, but sometimes you just want to add a splash of colour, and what better colour than yellow?! Yellow and white are so fresh, and yellow and black are strong, but put all three together and it's beautiful harmony. Often all you need is a splash of yellow to add that touch of warmth.

Bibby + Brady

Bibby + Brady is my interior design business that I run with the fabulous Dael Brady. We came together with a shared love of interior design, and together we use our combined talents to help you transform your spaces.

We believe that your home is your refuge, a place to relax and unwind, create and entertain, replenish your soul. It should be a reflection of who you are and the things you love. And, most importantly, you should feel happy and inspired in your surroundings.

We can help you inject personality and style into your home or workplace, and create a space that you love being in. You may be starting from scratch, or it may just be a space that needs waking up.

We'll start by establishing how you live (or work), and what the space will be used for - relaxing, entertaining, do you have children and animals...? We'll learn about you, the things you love, and what it is you want. It's often a case of editing, keeping the pieces you love, letting go of the things that are cramping your style, and adding pieces to breathe new life into the room.

The next step is to plan a layout of the room and furniture that will suit your lifestyle, before moving onto the details and styling. These last few layers, the finishing touches, are so important as it's these details that truly bring a room to life and elevate a space.

If you would like to work with us, please get in touch. I'm never far from my computer, so drop me an email. If you'd rather have a chat, Dael's your girl - she's fabulous at listening to your story and explaining how we can help.
