It’s been a big year for the online shopping destination and there was lots to celebrate in a seriously impressive location, beautifully styled.
Co-founder Adam McWhinney and editorial director (and Inside Out magazine founding editor) Karen McCartney made speeches, as did well known stylist Shannon Fricke, who has been working with the company on some creative projects and a sale of her own bed linen. [Read more...]

Online homewares and furniture destination Temple & Webster is offering a personal home styling service to its VIP customers. They’re sending their editor (Victoria Baker) and stylist (Jess Bellef) to visit the homes of their regular customers and help them beautify their living spaces with existing pieces and new ones they’ve bought from the online store.
Susan, from Brisbane, was the first person to be treated to the VIP experience. Stylist Jess says: “Susan was lovely and welcoming, as was her home. It was a beautiful old Queenslander house, which was built in the early 1900s. Large rooms, nice flow through, and two main balcony sitting areas. Susan and her family have extended and renovated over the years, and the space was just so relaxing. There was Temple & Webster product everywhere!” [Read more...]

Sunday Snippets: the best of the week in interiors
August 12, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Is it really that time again?! I ran the City 2 Surf in Sydney this morning (anyone else?) and this comes to you from the couch where my legs and I are currently in a world of pain! Anyway, back to this week’s best bits…
- Jaclyn Carlson from Life InStyle gave us a roundup of last weekend’s Melbourne trade fair where neon was all the rage. See the pix here.
- At a time where everyone’s saying print is dead (trust me, as a journalist for the day job, I hear this all the time) it was great to see magazines like Belle and Luxury Home Design show huge circulation increases in the latest readership figures.
- Speaking of magazines, Inside Out founding editor Karen McCartney has joined the team at online homewares store Temple & Webster as editorial consultant. Not to mention the first issue of Inside Out came out since Claire Bradley replaced Richard Waller as editor, and it was a cracker in my opinion.
- I shared the top three bathroom trend predictions.
- I started a new regular feature called Folded Corners and kicked off with telling you what I’m coveting from the latest issue of Real Living magazine.
- Homewares store Whiteport published an interview with me on their blog where I talked about how I juggle blogging with my job as editor of a business magazine. You can read it here.
- These sustainable and very beautiful lamps were popular with readers.
- I had a good whinge about my spare room and how spare rooms in general are so often awkward and under-utilised spaces. You’ll be pleased to hear I made a start on transforming mine this weekend with a lick of fresh white paint. How’s your spare room looking?!
- On Etsy Tuesday I shared some cute nursery artwork inspired by Mid Century furniture.
I have a real treat for you tomorrow with a beautiful apartment project by Melbourne interior designer Christopher Elliott. In the meantime, check out the last project he shared with us here.
I hope you all have a great week!
