Lucky for me, I have the most amazing friends who, at midnight on our final night, all sprung into action to film this masterpiece of a music video! 😂🎬

10/10 recommend doing this on your next trip with friends (although maybe remember to start filming before the very last night 🤣). SO MUCH FUN!

It’s not often that we, as adults, get the chance to just be our young, carefree selves again. No worrying about kids, responsibilities or the never-ending to-do list. Just laughing until our bellies hurt, being completely ridiculous and making memories with some of our favourite people. ❤️

What a weekend. What a life. Feeling very, very lucky. 🥹

And a special mention to my incredible hubby, who organised the most perfect weekend and made me feel so ridiculously loved. ❤️

The festival of 40 is over but I have a feeling it’ll be my best vintage yet🥂

A kitchen designed around people, lifestyle and the way the space is truly used.

The L Residence combines timeless shaker cabinetry @argyle_doors with the natural warmth and movement of Dolomite Sunset @juststoneaust , creating a space that is both refined and inviting. Thoughtfully designed with accessibility and functionality at the forefront, every detail was considered to create a kitchen that works seamlessly for the client’s needs, without compromising on style.

Just because a bathroom needs to be accessible doesn’t mean it can’t also be beautiful.

This bathroom was designed for the same lovely client as the kitchen I shared recently, who uses a wheelchair.

There were obviously lots of practical things I needed to consider with the layout, circulation, heights and how everything would work for her day to day. But those requirements didn’t need to dictate how the bathroom felt.

For me, good design is about making a space work beautifully for the person who actually uses it. And I think this bathroom does exactly that.

Who says accessible spaces can’t also be beautiful?

Working closely with my client, who uses a wheelchair, I designed the kitchen, walk-in pantry and adjoining laundry around how she actually uses these spaces day to day.

There were lots of practical things to consider, from how she moves between each room to what she needs within easy reach, making sure everything is comfortable and easy for her to use.

But practical doesn’t have to mean clinical or boring. I wanted all three spaces to feel connected, warm and colourful, while still working beautifully for her.

I really love how these rooms came together. They’re designed specifically around the person who lives here, and unless someone told you they were designed to be accessible, I’m not sure you’d necessarily know.

Which is kind of the point.

An office, art studio, music room and guest retreat all in one.

This studio above the garage was designed to be flexible, creative and a little bit fun, with those pops of colour bringing it all to life.

It’s always a joy working with clients who trust the process. This one feels really special.

International Women’s Day

Today I’m finding myself thinking about the many women who influence my life — professionally and personally.

Colleagues, mentors, clients, friends, family.

It’s a little like flavours in a great meal.
Each one different — different strengths, perspectives, experiences and stories.

And somehow it’s that mix that brings the richness.

From boardrooms and big conversations to coffees, messages and everyday moments, these relationships shape how I see the world.

It’s a quiet reminder that when different voices and experiences are part of the conversation, our thinking becomes broader, our decisions wiser and our world a little better.

Today feels like a good day to pause and acknowledge the women who have added flavour to your life too.

HUNTERS HILL RESIDENTIAL: This spacious kitchen underwent a modern transformation, featuring Dekton Moone porcelain benchtops beautifully paired with luxurious @juststoneaust Calacatta Gold natural marble. The upper cabinetry, finished in @taubmans China Doll, provides a soft contrast that highlights the bold elegance of the base cupboards in @taubmans@taubmans@taubmans Midnight Hour.
