Spot the difference

The return of leopard print is music to my ears. No need to overdo it but just a touch adds glamour and elegance to a classically styled room.

Snuggle up

Furs are a great way to add warmth to any room. There are a huge range of faux and the real thing available. My favourite wicker chairs are shown here with real furs thrown over the backs.

We have a similar rabbit fur in our front window at Cottle House.

Furs on the end of beds add luxe and warmth to a cool setting.

Inspirational window display

Having spent the day working on new displays in my shop thought I'd post this inspirational shot I had filed in my archives. I love the blend of contemporary themes like zebra hide with geometric cushions along side louvered screen and classic chandelier. I hope mine look half as good as this one. Unfortunately source is unknown.

New projects

The post office, living room.

loft bedroom

I have just spent two days working on projects in Thredbo and close by. The snap shots taken today were in a property built by Sonjia Schatzle near Thredbo. Sonja is a very inspirational woman to work with and no challenge is too big. She has an incredible eye and has designed and owner built this house herself. It's a one of a kind ski chalet catering for up to 18 guests. She has used recycled building materials with a neutral colour palette. Furnishings are an eclectic combination of contemporary and more traditional pieces.

Blue sky Sunday

I love the way the zebra hide ottoman has been added to this pretty, classic sitting room as a strong accent. It shows animal hide can be used in more feminine interiors to great effect. Enjoy your Sunday!

What a hide!

The use of animal hide in decorating seems to be expanding into an accessory used in a wide range of applications. Whether used as a floor rug or to upholster chairs, sofas or ottomans, animal hide creates a stunning effect as seen in these images.
