Details - Lili Diallo

I have a huge love of books, I could spend hours getting lost in a book shop, and spend many hours reading. You all know about my passion for interiors, so today I'll combine the two, and show you the next book on my wish list - Details by the fabulous stylist, Lili Diallo.

When you think about decorating, you probably envision big changes, big purchases and big costs. Interior stylist Lili Diallo has two words for you: 'start small'! She specialises in bringing homes alive through the details - a silvery pillow here, a floral screen here, and plenty of personality everywhere - amen! 


Stylists typically transform spaces by working with pieces that are already present, and their goal is to translate the residents' stories and passions by their surroundings. Details will help you to edit your beloved belongings and arrange a room so there's just charm, no clutter, and to tap into your own inner stylist. Here's a sneak peek into this fantastic book...

Hello Daimon Downey!

Right, let's end this working week the way we intend to start the weekend - fun, vibrant, uplifting, and a little bit crazy! This is the home of Sydney artist, Daimon Downey - I LOVE it! It's not exactly the way I would style my own home, but that's why I love it, because it's Daimon's home, and it's loaded with his personality. His artwork and his artistic touches are evident throughout the house. And all the quirky touches are what makes it so cool. I don't know Daimon personally, but a guy that can wear pastel pink from head to toe and still look manly, is very cool in my books!

Picture Perfect

When I came across the website of photographer Paul Raeside recently, I fell in love with his work. I know from first hand experience how tricky it can be photographing interiors - working with the natural light, and capturing the essence of a room in a single frame, but Paul does it so well. I have chosen some of my favourite rooms, but make sure you check out his website for much, much more.
