Spring!




Spring is here!!

Spring means lovely weather, lounging by the pool with fruity iced teas and eating amazing dinners outside. We're very excited! Hoping you guys in the Southern Hemisphere are excited for the beautiful weather ahead too!

P.S - it also means Christmas is getting closer and who doesn't love Christmas!

LATELY


It's been a bit quiet on here for a while! We thought we'd share some pictures of the exciting things we've been up to lately! A couple of weeks ago we ventured down to Melbourne and then to Sydney not long after to see the wonderful Million Dollar Decorator, Mary McDonald. It was such an amazing opportunity, so thank-you to all who organised it and made it happen! We've also recently wrapped up and begun some exciting projects, which we're excited to share with you!

Catching Up!

For those of you that do not follow us on Facebook or Instagram, this is what we have been up to! These are some snapshots of our stand at the HIA home show in Brisbane a week and a half ago!






We love the custom made chairs and the gorgeous artwork by Belynda Henry. It was a standout piece against the grass cloth backdrop. Beautiful dark stained European Oak timber floors by "Timber Flooring Unlimited". It was a lot of work to put it all together but well worth the effort! Now we are madly catching up on work and starting with new clients that we met at the show! Looking forward to catching up on all of your blogs! xx

Preparing for HIA Home Show!

Sorry we have been missing in action of late! We have been very busy with our usual client work and also preparing to showcase a room design at the HIA Home Show here in Brisbane! We are very excited that artist Belynda Henry will be showing a gorgeous piece of her work on our stand!



We would love for any of our Brisbane readers to come in and see us and say hi.  We will post some images of the room after the show but it is always better to come and see it in person! xx

The Green Theme!


I can't deny that I am loving the strong presence of green in all the latest magazines.  The latest House Beautiful is even called the "The Green Issue" - perfection!


Mixed with blue is always a striking combination...


This little green chair is simply devine...


and I absolutely must have this bed...


Even touches of green (picture from Veranda Magazine) lift this room to another level. Hope you are all loving it as much as I am!  T xx

Party Season!


One of the best parts of having Christmas in Summer are the beautiful outdoor parties we can have to celebrate the season!  I have been going through some of my favourite pics to inspire some decorating ideas!


Lights on the pool always add some sparkle...


 You can never have too many string lights or candles...



feels like Christmas to me!  Happy weekend all - hope you are celebrating in style!  Porchlight girls xx

Favourite Spaces by Vincent Wolf!


I have long been an admirer of the work of Vincent Wolf!  These spaces are so liveable and often the colour is added through beautiful fresh flowers...


Love the pink cushions and pink hydrangeas - they just add so much life to this room...


Gorgeous windows bringing so much light into the space - love the black stained floors with the cream cow hide floor rug...


hydrangeas again - stunning!


Just perfect!  Hope you have all had a great week and have a fabulous weekend ahead!  Kids have been on school holidays all this week which has been mostly lovely (if not a little chaotic!) Tracey xx

Dining Perfection!


Completely loving this dining space by designer Hillary Thomas for Lonny Magazine!  It has the perfect combination of mirrored walls, hexagonal table and faux bamboo chairs - how totally glamourous yet still liveable!  Of course the green on the seats and accessories might help to sway me as well.

New cushions for spring!

I just love spring time, it naturally feels like the birth of something new. It's also a great time to add colour to your home. We decided that after so many enquiries of the beautiful Raoul cushions and lampshades shown in our Home Beautiful feature this month we would do a close up feature on more of these beautiful fabrics plus a few other favorites that we have done for clients lately. Beautiful fabrics in your home are like adding artwork in your home. It makes your heart flutter to be near something so gorgeous.You may also like to know that we do our own custom made sofas to our clients specifications as well as reupholstering much loved pieces like this sofa i have just had recovered in my most favorite Raoul fabric. I saw this fabric in their showroom in Santa Barbara and knew i had to use it and i am very happy with the result.

 I gorgeous find on ebay, a lick of paint and a covered seat cushion makes it look amazing!www.porchlightinteriors.com.au

A little more of my house

 This is actually my favorite room. i designed the cabinetry and had my fabulous cabinet maker work his magic and it's exactly what i wanted. i bought the handles home from one of my trips the to fabulous USA last year and i think it finishes the look off perfectly. The flowers are from the very talented Phoebe Stephens in Fortitude Valley. I love to fill the open shelves with my favorite books and ornamental objects.
 I had my sofa custom made from our manufacturer in Melbourne using a pale blue/ grey linen and chose one of my favorite Raoul linen fabrics for cushions. There are two open weave chairs that suit the room which over looks our pool.
You may notice the two prints above the sofa from the very lovely and talented Kerri from Driftwood Interiors. We certainly have some talent in Queensland. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank Kerri for the very kind mention on her blog. It was a privilege to use these amazing prints.
The hand beaded lamp on the side table is from Gia Collectiones. She has the most amazing collection of lighting which is available through Porchlight Interiors
 i do love my kitchen. it features an Island bench 3600mm long x 1400mm wide with a large Calacutta slab of marble on top. Once again the handles were bought over in the States in polished nickel that match the lights and Perrin and Rowe tap. I am currently sitting at my little study area which you can see on the side of the photo to do this post. We use this room all the time. It's the most social room of the house and a great place to entertain. Now that Spring has arrived, we open the large bi-fold doors to the outdoor area and pool.
 This is the main bathroom for my three children. I wanted to keep a theme throughout the house with the cabinetry and marble tops by using the polished nickel hardware and taps. The wall sconces also match and i love the little lamp shades that i bought from Anthropologie (one of my most favorite stores)
This image shows a little of the ceiling feature we did and the beautiful American Oak timber floors we had stained in this dark colour. The floors add so much drama to the house and help accentuate the furniture and colours throughout the house.
And that's my house, thanks for stopping by to visit.www.porchlightinteriors.com.auwww.driftwoodinteriors.com.au
