Interior design and styling, homewares, furniture, home appliances and the personalities behind them
Winter is drawing closer and it’s just the time for the staying in on the couch with a cosy throw blanket or entertaining friends with comfort food (or is that just me?)! If you need a new sofa or two, now could be the ideal time to buy! Freedom is offering buy one get one free on sofas from tomorrow (Saturday) until Wednesday 24 April.
What: Buy a Freedom sofa, get the second sofa free.
Where: Participating Freedom stores. [Read more...]
Tomorrow I’m off to the Sydney launch of stylist Jason Grant’s first book, A Place Called Home, so it’s about time I reviewed it for you!
If you know MJG, or follow him on social media, you’ll know this is a project that has taken over his life for a good year. Luckily he is DELIGHTED with how it turned out and I can see why. It feels like if Jason was a book, this would be it.
It’s light on words and heavy on beautiful images by photographer James Geer. And let’s face it, who has time to actually read their coffee table books anyway?! I actually devoured this book in one enjoyable afternoon, but it’s the sort of book you’ll want to dip back in and out of on rainy afternoons, especially as its many photos of the beach and Bondi will bring back memories of summer.
Jason is a well known freelance interior stylist and was previously style director of Real Living, who he still works for, alongside almost every other Australian homes magazine. He was also one of the very first people I interviewed for Interiors Addict! Jason has his own paint ranges for Murobond and recently styled Freedom’s new winter collection for its catalogue and advertising. [Read more...]
Freedom’s new collection is now in store and they asked me to pick some of my favourites.
You can see them in stores nationally, along with these posters of yours truly! Next time you’re in there, see if you spot me!
I didn’t pick the chair or the side table but I’m a big fan of the vases and the cushions!

How does it work?
Never taken part in an online auction before? Here are some tips. And remember there’s a 30-day return warranty for faulty products (not change of mind). You can find answers to frequently asked questions here.
Do they deliver? Items can be picked up from warehouses in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth. The majority of furniture items will be from Freedom and Bay Leather Republic, but there will also be other furniture suppliers including Sitro and De Stijl. Freedom and Bay Leather Republic stock will only be available in Sydney and Melbourne, but other brands will be available in Brisbane and Perth. If you can’t resist a bargain interstate, and need a courier to pick it up, Grays recommend MeeMeep.
So what are you waiting for? Visit the auction here. Happy bidding! I’ll be trying to get myself a new dining table…

I know, I know, the title of this post sounds terribly melodramatic, but it’s a true reflection. I really HATED our spare room until the weekend. It upset me because it’s too small, too narrow, has built-ins I don’t really need but can’t remove (renting), a view of the house next-door and no redeeming features whatsoever. We have lived in our apartment almost a year and the spare room has been the bane of my life, particularly as I’m uber house proud, love socialising and having friends to stay. BUT… look what happened!
When Freedom offered me a $500 voucher to fix a problem in my home and blog about the experience, it was glaringly obvious that I had to give the spare room a go, especially as my dad is due to arrive from the UK in a fortnight. And look what I have managed to create. Can this really be that room that made me want to cry (I think it was hormones) because it was so ugly and useless? [Read more...]
Can you believe I’ve posted 1000 times (well, a few more than now, actually!)? I would say I can’t, but it’s not all that surprising to me!
