to see new order in melbourne  march  1st….. ian curtis singing… love will tear us apart  would be amazing…we have the added pleasure of good bars , good food and a great venue!!  one of my all time fave songs true faith

how beautiful!!!!!  images from cos blog. judith seng is  based in berlin .she creates and consults from her studio but best of all she teaches……”design thinking” . sounds so luxurious and inspiring.  makes me want to head back to school for thinking.

we are the proud owners of a new/old hallberg rassy 46′ lying in port napolean france……she is looking a bit frumpy and we want to turn it into the floating food and beverage love nest!!!….roberts words not mine.  we need as much light as we can down below . as in the feel because we can’t just add another skylight!.. not being a fan of “beige world” but feel we need to add beige and cream for the curtains, carpet and couches to compensate for all the wood below..need to get rid of all those buttons and cord fabric and go a clean modern linen look…..maybe a bit of modernist danish feel… so these are the beginnings, the basics..the slate grey is for cockpit cushions and the old stripe grain sacks will be up on deck…keep you up to date as we go along.

sad to see her go as we have had so many amazing times but her replacement is a floating apartment!!! pictures to be posted as soon as we get on board and redecorate…….boat design is next on the list

pretending the neon signs say happy new year to everyone!!! can’t not use a bit of neon for this big night. i think 2012 is going to be a great year……

i will be finishing the lovely jess & dain house here in byron bay,  hopefully working on a hotel project….. and starting the prep work for a summer range of dresses for the shop……i did one dress for this season, in lots of summer colours which has been flying out the door.

i love  the artist steven ball….found these great neon prints at dank street sydney….brighten anyones day and modernize any home.

Unisex, practical and gorgeous.

aaand Italiano hats… to go with!

so this week its been all about colour………..porters paint dusty mule grey and the various shades it turns into. how the light changes it…. tory takes pictures for the clients to show them what we are upto…always action shots..standing under the pretend shower  and washing my hair…pretending to type in the office…and now? its martin the site manager………on friday afternoon in byron bay

i was going through my files of files on the computer and i cam across a section with unknown downloads…thought i might just put them on the blog and think why i picked it…..well it must be the neon bangle, the green bangle and the print pants…..new york fashion week….tommy tom is my guess?

busy busy down in sydney on the weekend ……….running around on the hunt for things for the house project i am working on. deliveries are arriving here in byron bay with more to come from paris and london. really excited to see things are visually starting to come together and i get to……….yeah shop!
