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."

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.

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!

    Both seminars from Amanda Talbot and Melissa Wittig would be an inspiration, but Melissa’s approach to interior design and health is interesting and very relevant today as we struggle with an ethical and sustainable source of materials. It encompasses not only our living spaces, but our food, our clothing and many other aspects of our lives.

    There would be much to gain from both seminars, but if I had to choose ….. Melissa Wittig; with 2 children it would be inspiring to hear her “healthy” designs ideas.

    I would love to hear Amanda Talbot speak. I think she is inspirational particularly with her concepts around reconsidering our everyday spaces and rethinking their uses. Her common sense concepts could benefit most people.

    Hi – I’d love to go to Amanda’s seminar as she is such an inspiration. I admire all the designers she has worked with, so would be great to hear her insights. Also looking forward to her perspective on reconsidering the way we live, definitely needs consideration. thanks for the wonderful offer.

    I would love to see both amazing designers. Recently having come back from Europe, I am aware of the design trends that come out of Europe and how much of an influence it could have on our way of living here in Aus. I would love to hear Amanda’s take on that. And I am planning on specializing my interior design style on sustainability, (also a big European trend), and would be very inspired by Melissa.

    What a fantastic opportunity! To listen to either of these inspiring women would be an honour as I’m currently studying Interior Design & Decoration and admire both these women. I recently purchased Amanda’s book and feel in love with her creative approach to sustainable living – something that our generation should learn from. The photographs are simply beautiful xx

    Hi Jen, I would love to hear and see Amanda Talbot’s take on redefining the ‘Aussie’ 4×2 family home… Plus, being a mum of two, and an asthmatic myself, I would certainly benefit from Melissa Wittig’s wisdom on design and products in home / work interiors. I will be travelling to Sydney for the very first time (yay) to exhibit my Loopy.Boy.Lamp at The Edge exhibition and can’t wait to attend the workshops, the other International Industry Seminars and see everything on offer at AIFF 2013!

    Both of the speakers sound amazing i am studing Interior Architecture and i am very interested in and aim to design spaces that encourage positive and healthy living through the way in which spaces are designed. I am also interested in how rethinking can change the habits and way we use spaces. Intentionally designing to alter our use and enjoyment of areas we inhabit.
