Win tickets to Decoration + Design seminar series

July 4, 2013

FacebookPinEmailTweet

The Decoration + Design Melbourne trade fair is fast approaching and I have some tickets to give away to the international industry seminar series. Would you like to hear Melbourne interior designer Chelsea Hing speak? Or maybe American designer Lori Weitzner?

Chelsea Hing
Chelsea Hing

Chelsea will tall about designing from the heart, keeping it personal and bringing her rule-bending approach to crafting beautiful spaces packed with personality. She’ll share insights into her work, her business journey and the lessons she’s learnt along the way.

Internationally renowned Loriย will explore the collaborative process of developing a handmade product for the modern world. In our fast-paced, technology-dependent society, the challenge facing contemporary designers is how to work with artisans to preserve ancient traditions and techniques while creating something truly innovative, appealing, and relevant to todayโ€™s mark.

Giveaway

I have 5 double passes to give away to each seminar, both taking part on 19 July 2013. Simply comment which talk you’d like to go to and why, by next Wednesday 10th July 2013. Please include your email address in the comment and note that only people in the trade may enter.

Decoration + Design is co-located with Furnitex at Melbourne Exhibition Centre from 18 to 21 July 2013.

A glass shower screen is not the only option! In A glass shower screen is not the only option!

In this 80s villa reno, @trentinidesign took inspiration from an archway typical of the era and used it throughout the home.

The bathroom was transformed from a classic three-piece set up that included a shower, bath and vanity. Kathryn removed the bath and split the room in half and designed an arch to sit between the two zones. 

โ€œI wanted something spectacular. Rather than having a vanity with a piece of glass like you would typically see, I was really trying to push myself as a designer. It was costly but it worked out well and the feedback has been great."

One half of popular parenting podcast @wedonthavet One half of popular parenting podcast @wedonthavetimeforthis, turns out former Neighbours actor @gemma_peanut is even more multi-talented than we thought! Will you check out the joyful and colourful reno of her holiday home (and airbnb) @yo_caba_caba?!

Head over to the blog via link in bio to read all about why she went bold and full of pattern in this project, which is a stark contrast to her zen and neutral Northern Beaches abode.

There's also plenty of details about where things are from etc.

"Iโ€™m not an interior designer so I just chose what I liked and followed my gut. Ultimately this home has been an opportunity to explore my alter ego โ€“ it allowed me to do things that I wouldnโ€™t normally do.โ€

Not many friends in life fall into the unofficial Not many friends in life fall into the unofficial family category and they're a special gift. So ends three weeks with @danisteve81 who left her husband and son in the UK (I'm forever grateful they lent her to me!) to come and cheer me up and help me in the most practical ways after I spent Christmas and New Year in hospital. There were tears and I miss her so much already but how amazing to have had all that time together as adults. Such a rare treat and would never have happened without having been through something so challenging. Silver linings and all that. So many other friends have also been incredibly thoughtful and kind. There aren't many times I'd say this without cringing but I am 100% blessed!

I still cannot believe we have been friends since we were 12! 12! Are you still close with your childhood besties?
The renovation of this 80s beach shack @camillo_ho The renovation of this 80s beach shack @camillo_house is a work of art and while almost every surface was updated, the decision to keep the original slate floor was genius if you ask us. 

Owner @clarehillier__ says: "With its purple, pink, red and brown tones, the slate was the starting point for our interior palette."

Come and check out the before and afters via link in bio now and read the reno story. It's a real beauty.

And you can book it for your next holiday too!

    Hi,

    I’d love to go to Chelsea’s talk.

    She’s such an inspirational designer and I adore her interiors.
    Currently setting up my own business, I would love to get an insight into Chelsea’s experiences in this business.
    And I hope that her story will keep me focussed in my own endeavour!

    Both talks sound amazing but if I have to choose I would pick Lori’s as I myself am a product designer. Thanks so much for this opportunity!

    All the seminars sounds amazing and would love to make it to them all, though if I had to pick one I’d pick Chelsea. Her approach to designing is so natural and inspiring. To take away a pinch of Chelsea’s knowledge is a bonus for any designer. Yes please!

    Love Chelsea, she’s an inspiration, wonderful person and designer. It will be a great talk for sure. Lori’s talk sounds very interesting too and I love anything handmade… Looking forward to D&D!

    I’ve really been enjoying this years trade shows and am counting down to D+D later this month. I’ve also been noticing a lot of press about Chelsea and think her seminar would be really inspiring… which is what these shows are all about.

    I would love to hear Chelsea speak! I’ve been stalking her work ever since I saw her Melbourne home tour…..Not very familiar with Lori’s work but would definitely be very interested to hear her speak too.

    Would love to hear Chelsea’s insights about creating her own business, following your heart and interior design in Melbourne. The international industry seminar series is a great opportunity for small interior design firms (like make interior design) to gain valuable insight into how take risks, stay focused and be innovative.

    Hi Jen
    Both seminars promise to be inspiring. Chelsea is a designer I admire and I’d absolutely love to hear Lori Weiztner speak as I am a fan of her wallpapers. My background is handmade wallpapers and fabrics so her seminar topic is close to my heart and I’d love to hear her perspective.
    Thanks for the opp!

    Would LOVE to hear Chelsea Hing. Chelsea’s approach to design and interiors really sings to me. My work involves creating colorful textiles for people who love a bit of soul and integrity in the spaces in which they live, with a healthy dose of cheer and vibrancy.

    Hi there,

    These two women are truly inspirational, not only to the design world but to women in general. However I’d love to see Chelsea Hing speak of her knowledge and experiences. Im a 19 year old interior design graduate from sydney with a vision! I believe and agree with Chelsea Hing’s design principles, I find her words and designs a work of art which has influence my way of thinking when it comes to the design of a room. I believe seeing Chelsea Hing speak will give me the boost of knowledge I need to get myself out there in the industry and stand on my own two feet as a designer. My fingers are crossed!

    Thank you.
