Coco Republic Design School

Sorry for the lack of posts but it seems my toolbar decided to stop loading AGAIN!

That along with phone issues has technology letting me down a little lately, not good when you are so used to it and need it to run your online business.

I am delighted to be heading over to Sydney in a few weeks time for 3 glorious days.

Friday will be shopping and drinks with friends.

Saturday I will be attending the Coco Republic Design School for the Colour for Interiors Masterclass. I can't wait to think outside the square and lean something new

(most of you know my house has a lack of colour!!).

Sunday my husband is running in the City to Surf and raising money for my beautiful niece Charlotte who suffers from a condition that has left her with low vision. The Royal Society for the Blind is currently working with her to help make her life a little easier.

If you wish to make a donation head to

Monday this farmers wife will head back to life on the farm!

I haven't been to Sydney for a few years so would also love to hear about any

special places to go for dinner etc.

Hope you are all having a great week, the weather here is gorgeous!

Decorating Workshop

In collaboration with Felicity Baj of Linen Press Interiors, The White Shed held it's first decorating workshop a few weeks ago!

The event was held in my home and attended by 14 fabulous girls who had free reign of my house and all of the items in The White Shed to style to there delight.

The day started with a glass of bubbles and morning tea in my dining room.

Each lady bought a picture of their favourite room from a magazine and we discussed an area they were looking for ideas on how to style.

We styled sideboards and ottomans using some basic principles of design.

They also put together colour schemes thinking outside of the square and using improvisation.

Felicity also bought a beautiful range of fabrics with her and gave ideas on how to be inventive and different with upholstery.

A BIG thank you to Felicity for making the trip over from Adelaide and for the huge effort she put in to the day. Also to the always amazing Kelly Dyett for taking these beautiful images.

For those of you who missed out this time, don't worry this was only the first of many so you will have the opportunity to attend our next workshop!

For more details please email me.

In the Shed Today

Working in 'the shed' today.

Looking forward to meeting a few of my online customers who have made the trek over to the

Yorke Peninsula to see me and my store!

It is a little chilly here but luckily my workman has bought in the gas heater for me.

Special Time

Just took a few days 'off' to spend with my special little boys during school holidays.

Always hard when you work on your own in your own business but it just has to be done!

Action packed with Cars Movie, Birthday Party & Train Ride, Tram Ride, Visiting Family and Friends and a session of Theatre Bugs!

I did have to do a little work whilst away though. Ordered a huge amount of beautiful new stock and also my Christmas range, yes silver and white.........again!

Hope everybody else is enjoying the school holidays.
