I'm reflecting about the future of blogging,
as I become sentimental with the closing
of the By Invitation Only international group of bloggers.

Project Update : Dichotomy of Contrasts Apartment
One of the gorgeous projects I have been working on lately
is an Apartment renovation for a very stylish client.
I dubbed it the "Dichotomy of Contrasts" project
because it is all about contrast of texture, colour,
and luxe versus familiar materials.
It's now almost finished,
so here are some images of how it is looking so far.

What does a Building need to be, to create a Fabulous Hotel where you don't want to go home?
I recently stayed at the much applauded new Hotel Hotel
in Canberra,
and was surprised to discover
it made me feel like
I never wanted to leave.
So what is it about a Hotel
that makes you want to stay longer?
Could it be the building itself?

Is Ethical Luxury the New Black?
 |
| Made in Chicago, this bamboo fibre glamorous dress by Stix and Roses is typical of the new trend for Ethical Luxury. |
Pondering about the growing trend for
locally made, animal friendly, high quality material products
around the world,
and whether, as Tom Ford suggested,
that Ethical Luxury is the future in
clothing, footwear, home wares, cosmetics, and food.

The latest Garden Trends from MIFGS 2015 :: colour, looseness, flow....
The return of informality, colour & a more Naturalistic planting style
were welcome observations at the recent
Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show,
held each Autumn in a glorious park in the city.
Of course, my camera was kept busy,
as there were lots of lovely gardens to admire....

Flowers : how a humble little thing can provide inspiration....
These very first blooms of Autumn on a hedge in a street in Melbourne
got me thinking about the importance of the seasons in
creating Fabulous Buildings.

The importance of natural daylight : would you love to live here?
One of the most important elements in a beautiful home
is the inclusion of natural daylight,
especially if it is used in a way to draw in light but not heat.
I have been hunting for inspiration of how best to achieve this
for one of my current projects,
where the clients are mad for natural daylight,
and I discovered this house along the way.
Come and have a look to see what you think,
and then tell me how important natural sunlight is in your own home...
