"My Sketch Book"

I have been working flat out these last couple of weeks...as you would have noticed from the very few blog posts.

I love my job...I love meeting new people and helping my Clients in putting their schemes for their homes together...Here is one from "My Sketch Book" which I managed to capture....Let's hope we can keep this BOOK updated;-)



Fabric selections from:Mavromac; Hertex; Biggie Best; Bartlett&Dunster and Wolfe Street Fabrics.


These were just for some Scatter Cushions;Curtains and a Nightfrill in a Bedroom and some Scatters and Curtains in her Lounge Area. My Client wanted something "Fresh" in her Bedroom with Duckegg Blue in it. We found a lovely co-ordinate stripe (a little wider than a Ticking Stripe) and a Floral with both Blue and Duckegg in it- These we used for Scatter cushions. The Pellum Azure was used for a Boxed Nightfrill and Curtains.The Soft Urban Wild Sesame added a lovely chenille throw to the end of the bed.

In the Lounge we used Lutron Vintage for Scatters to update an existing Ox-blood Leather Sofa. The Twitter Cinnamon was used for Curtains and a Tablecoth for a round Lamp table.

Okay...so now back to the drawing board as I have lots more Schemes to put together... "Til next time "Happy Decorating":-)FK.

PS: Excuse my sketches...I am not the BEST ARTIST AROUND TOWN...LOL:-)

"Take a Seat..."

"The Ghost Chair"

"Available in a variety of Colourways"

The Ghost Chair was designed by Phillippe Starch a French Product designer in 2002. This glossy, transparent chair is made from a light weight; durable Plastic or Perspex. It is inspired by the Rococo/Baroque Styled Furniture which saw the Louis XV Chair.(1730-1775)

"Louis XV Chair"

The Ghost Chair is used mainly in Modern or Contemporary Interiors as it enhances the openness and clean lines used in this "Design".

The Barcelona Chair was designed by Mies van der Rohe for the German Pavillion at the 1929 Barcelona exposition. It is distinctively know for the contemporary curves and deep-buttoned leather look. They are available in mainly white;tan and black leather or vinyl. The ottoman resembles the exact flow of the design lines and deep-buttoning of the Chair.

"Colour Match"

"Benjamin Moore - Wythe Blue(HC-143)"
Matched up in Dekade -Glacial Lake (8514-1)
Matched up in Dulux -Jewelled Creek 4(30BG 56/097)

 I absolutely love this Colour...It is one the most "Peaceful" and "Serene" colours you can find. I also find that it is one of those Colours which works very well with Neutral Tones from All White Hues to Shades of Beige.

Take a Look at these Colour Schemes where this Colour was best used....

"Happy Easter"

Many of us celebrate Easter as a religious holiday...We commemorate the sacrifice that God made for us through His Son who died for Our Sins...It is a time when families get together and share in the Spirit of the Risen Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Some of us who have kids enjoy preparing for Easter Egg Hunts...and seeing the Joy and Smiles on their faces.

But whatever you do this Easter...Make time for Family and Friends and Celebrate Life Renewed...May the Peace of the Lord be with you this Easter...'Til next time...Have a Blessed Easter...:-)FK.
