Sunrise peeking through the bedroom window HOT flowers! My chemist’s haul. Boxes on castors. Props Rolling hills a plenty Photographer Toby Scott Weekend in Pictures… here they are! I actually worked through the weekend. Saturday started off with an early morning sourcing trip for a shoot for Sunday. I was hypnotised by the magentas and […]

Happy Friday! Here is some zingy slap in the face colour for you! I have been thinking a lot about mid 20th Century artist Helen Frankenthaler lately and her use of confident colour. It’s probably because I have a few projects on the go that incorporate juicy delightful colour and I am finding her work even […]

Thank you all for coming along to the Jan Power’s  Farmers Market at the Powerhouse today, we had a great time! Now, we are getting ready for tomorrow’s antique market at Windsor! Feeling a little bit tired, perhaps I shouldn’t had that glass of wine   liar, you had three. If you are looking for the […]

Why hello… apologies for the slight delay in blog posts this week. It’s been a busy one, full of joy and adventure… though with a strong sense of urgency… go, go, go. When I know I’m going to have a busy week ahead I always try to add a ‘splash’ of personal decadency – to […]

Dining room painting Coco, the apprentice. Fresh eggs from Coco and Nigella. Gigi and Bettina are on strike. Rolling out the pastry. Yes, I became distracted and they burnt. Collecting firewood… city style. Our wood fire oven. Coffee at Shucked. My parents pool. FInally got around to painting these. Passionfruit, in bloom. Here is the […]

I have a delightful morning plan; shopping with a lovely client whose house I have been working on for a few weeks. Today we are off to SPACE to order furniture. Talking of SPACE, they are running a rather good looking promotion at the moment on certain brands and lines, with handsome reductions. Might be worth […]

I particularly like this Selby Film for Zara of gallerist Lucy Chadwick… you probably have already seen it as it was kicking around everywhere last year. I have often found myself going back to watch it … I’m not sure what exactly it is I find myself drawn to, or what I’m looking for each time I revisit. I think I am […]

Shutters for the bathroom. Timothy O’s hinged glasshouses. We hedged. Played with these cute mops for a bit. Found these chairs! Thought I would start a new little segment here on the blog called ‘Weekend in Pictures’, just some quick snaps of our weekend. I don’t usually post on Mondays,  as I’m buzzing around getting […]

COme along to the Jan Power’s Market at the Powerhouse, New Farm! Hope to see you there! K x

Last one of the ‘Stock Preview’ series for this afternoon… I still have the caravan to pack which takes hours.  Here are a pair of French Industrial Candelabras; when I saw them they instantly reminded me of some candelabras I remember seeing in Martyn Thompson’s NY studio; gosh I love his work…. Did you like how I […]
