<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am a big fan of local designers and today I want to share with you a great range of contemporary porcelain tableware by </span><a href="http://www.urbancartel.com.au/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Urban Cartel</a> from Melbourne. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Craig Pearce is the designer behind the brand and works with a French porcelain to create that delicate, handmade feel.</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">His range of soft pastel hues, organic shapes and minimal design, caught my eye when I was on <a href="http://www.etsy.com.au/" target="_blank">Etsy</a>.</span><br />

We try and get away at least once a year and this year we decided to head back to Bali.<br />
<br />
Flights are booked, so now the most important thing I have been doing, is making a list of the hottest places to eat and drink in Bali of course!<br />
<br />
Upon my Instagram "research" I came across <a href="https://instagram.com/motelmexicola/" target="_blank">Motel Mexicola</a> thanks to <a href="https://instagram.com/bestinbali/" target="_blank">Best in Bali</a>.<br />
The Mexican cuisine has definitely hit Melbourne hard over the past year and now it's Bali's turn to soak up the tacos and tequilas.<br />
But what caught my eye wasn't just the food, I am dying to check out the interiors, and exterior for that matter!<br />
It is a feast of colour, pattern and tacky kitsch! I love how nothing matches, yet it all seems to work.<br />
<br />
I can just picture being here on a balmy night sipping a few delicious cocktails (13 different types of tequilas available, thank you very much).<br />
<br />
Let me know if you have been to Motel Mexicola, or recommend some other amazing spots in Bali to add to my list.<br />
<br />

It's so beautiful here, such a relaxed lifestyle, friendly, laid-back people and just a nice vibe. I have always loved the beach and decided it was the perfect place to raise our <span>young</span><span> family!</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>I had a few different office jobs in my early 20s, which I knew were not for me. I then studied a bachelor of education and am a qualified primary school teacher, however </span><span>having</span><span> taught full time for a couple of years I decided that my heart was not in it. I have always thought it would be amazing to be in the position to work for myself, and whilst being on maternity leave I began to really explore my creative side - I </span><span>never</span><span> imagined it would be something I could actually do for a living, but I'm so blessed now that it is!</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>I love interior design and thought it would be amazing to create some artwork for our own home. I've always been quite creative and enjoyed doodling and drawing for fun, but it was creating my art folio for university that I discovered I had a real passion for being arty and found it to be such a great escape and really </span><span>therapeutic!<span style="color: black;"> </span></span><span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">I found that while teaching, the art room was actually my favourite place to be. So</span></span><span> I thought, hang on, there might be something in that! I'd never really painted before, but ended up experimenting with a few pieces and getting a really positive response to them! I began to get orders from family and friends and then it just grew from there. I now started my own business and feel so lucky to finally be loving what I do and not seeing it as 'work'!</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I have been painting for about 2 years, but it's only been around 12 months where I've been asked to commission pieces for clients. Over the past 7 or so months, I've launched my website </span><a href="http://inkahart.com.au/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0066cc;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Inkah Art</span></span></span></a><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"> and my Giclee print range. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #500050;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>I predominantly use acrylics, but also use ink. I have recently been experimenting with watercolour, and occasionally spray paint. I use fluid mediums to dilute the acrylics as I like working with them when they flow easily. I experiment with different styles of abstract painting, rather than always sticking with the one style of painting. I believe that as an artist your style will always evolve as you try out new techniques or mediums to work with. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #500050;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>Photography is an important part of my creative process as I photograph sections of my work to create my prints.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>I find nature or a gorgeous interior space inspiring. Being at the beach on a</span><span> beautiful day sparks a </span><span>colour palette and I just go from there. The painting is never planned. It evolves organically and i have no idea what the outcome will be. Often the end result might be quite different from what I imagined, and no two paintings are ever the same. Each one is completely unique and I think this makes them quite special. </span></span></span></span></div>

(I shared my love for it on a previous blog post <a href="http://designtalk.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/palm-springs-styling.html" target="_blank">here</a>.)<br />
<br />
The mid century design elements, pop of bright colours, and use of gold, influenced my decorating style for this display home, and I want to share with you the finished product.<br />
<br />
Last week I was busy installing furniture, styling and lots of ironing to get the home ready for opening by the weekend. <br />

Yes we have been in our home for a little over 3 months now, but up until today, we did not have the internet connected! Frustrated is not the word, but boy can I tell you how happy I am sitting here, finally doing what I have been itching to do. <br />
So I thought it was fitting to share my top 5 tips for creating a great home office!<br />
My home office is nearly complete, and can't wait to share photos!<br />
<br />
1. Think outside the square when it comes to office furniture. You could use a dining table, console of trestle table as a desk. Play around with colour, and find legs that are a different colour to the table top. There are so many stylish chairs around at the moment! Make it more comforatble by adding a cushion or faux fur throw. <br />
<br />

2. Ensure you have enough storage. Whether that be built in storage like this stunning plywood overheads, or as simple as a wire baskets, decorative boxes or a mobile pedestal.</div>

3. Create an inspiration wall for you to add magazine clippings, photos or anything that sparks creativity. This cork wall is stunning! I love how it compliments the tan leather office chair and works with the concrete floor.</div>

4. Lighting is key. It is one of the most forgotten elements in any room, and without beautiful lighting, how can you show off your space? Task lighting is great for a home office. Look at pendant lights, desk lamps, or even a floor lamp. </div>

5. You can't go past stylish desk accessories to keep organised. Look at storage boxes, binders, notebooks and pencil holders that all match or compliment each other. Here is your time to go wild with mixing patterns and colours to really show your personality.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">While I was specifying furniture for an upcoming display home, I needed something to fill the corner of a small study. It is a usual study with a desk, chair, credenza and occasional chair, so I wanted something that would stand out.</span></div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
I then came across these stone floor cushions from Mocka! They are fun, practical and very on trend. They are available in marble or granite.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They are only $89.95 for a set of 3 and I'm now thinking I need a set for my living area! </div>
<div>

<div>
You can buy your set here..</div>

Palm Springs is a place I need to visit. I am drawn by the mid-century
architecture, beautiful landscapes and stunning interiors of residential homes
and hotels.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The “Palm Springs” style is a combination of modern minimalism
and old Hollywood glamour. I have noticed this look is making its way back and I
am so excited because I feel it is a style that can suit most. The ultra-modernist,
lover of mid-century and the bold colourful type! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I want to share with
you a collection of images that best captures the style and how you can create
the look yourself.<o:p></o:p></div>

I've been busily pinning away as I will be styling 4 display homes next week for a photoshoot. I dig deep into Pinterest for inspo on all sorts of styling to help with the shoot. Styling for photography versus styling for everyday homes is completely different, as the camera lens takes a whole different view of the space. <br />
While on my search, I have come across some beautiful, well styled coffee tables and I just had to share! <br />

Its quite simple to make a coffee table look great, you just need to start with the basics that you may have lying around the house.<br />
<h4>
BASICS FOR COFFEE TABLE STYLING</h4>
1. Start with a stack of books or magazines as its a great way to add height and colour to the table. <br />
2. Add a tray next to the stack of books. This sections the area of the table and creates interest. <br />
3. Add a natural element to carry through some texture. A nice bunch of flowers in a short vase, a crystal, coral or a timber branch. You can place this on the stack of books, or in the tray.<br />
4. A scented candle always smell divine and add that special glow at night. <br />
5. Lastly, add in some personal items whether it be trinkets from travelling, an old vintage time piece, or a patterned jar.<br />

What do you think of my yellow front door?! Who would walk into our house and not have a smile on their face after seeing that?! I know it's not everyone's taste, but I love colour and just a little peak of it on the exterior of the house is so fun! I think it works really well as our front door is a side entry, so you don't see the colour of the front door until you walk up the driveway. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As mentioned in my post last week, our home we are building is nearly ready for us to move in! I keep reminding my husband every day, but I think he is getting a little tired of it now! I still can't envisage that we will be living in a brand new home that we have designed and have been dreaming about for years! I've already nick-named it "The Hamptons". I'll have to share some more progress pics with you, as the weatherboards have been painted and the scaffolding finally came down today, so I want to go past there on the weekend and take some photos. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Amongst all this excitement, I have been purchasing bits and pieces to make our home reflect our personalities and style.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I wanted to share with you some of those pieces I have bought for our bedroom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I LOVE colour and think it looks great complimented with natural materials.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So to add that natural element, I'm thinking of creating a bedhead out of plywood. I love the grain it features and turns out to be an inexpensive piece.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I bought two<a href="http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/60162301/" target="_blank"> Ikea Frosta</a> stools as my bedside tables and will either dip half of the legs in a pastel paint colour, or just paint the top.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Metro Copper table lamps from Freedom are the perfect fit as it wont take up too much room sitting on the stools. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was very lucky to get my very own Lovestar wall vase in neon pink for Christmas, so that will sit nicely above my side of the bed! Fresh flowers will make the room sing!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lastly I want to frame my first Emily Green water colour print which will hang alongside the Lovestar vase. </div>

My dilemma is what colour linen quilt cover to use?

<br />
I have been researching lots of Hollywood Regency interiors this week, as it has been my inspiration for a new display home I am furnishing.<br />
<br />
These gorgeous pics of Pinterest I have found, truly represent what I love about the Hollywood Regency style; luxe, over the top and colourful! <br />

Its quite easy to achieve the Hollywood Regency look. High impact, patterned rugs can look great under a dining table or living area. Gold or brass side tables and coffee tables are definitely in at the moment. You can also try your hand at upcycling some bamboo/cane furniture and spraying them in bright, saturated colours. You can also finish the look with velvet cushions and a pair of tall, bold lamps!</div>

room to help me envisage each space.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am really excited to get stuck into decorating and wanted
to share my ideas for my very first home office/studio. I can’t believe I get a
whole room to create in! I’ve been so used to sprawling out on our
dining table for years.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">While searching for inspiration, I came acrosss a co-working
company called <a href="https://www.wework.com/locations" target="_blank">WeWork</a>. They caught my attention as they have quite a few
offices all over the world for creative businesses to meet, work and connect. I
love how their interiors don’t feel like a boring a office space, and have separate work areas to lounge. It feels
homely, fresh and contemporary. I want my home office to feel the same; inspiring,
relaxing and a space for me to enjoy working on exciting projects. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I love the simplicity of a monochromatic scheme with added details of natural elements and pops of colour. I am envisaging lots of greenery throughout our house and believe including them in my home office will bring lots of energy and life to the room. I’m hoping I don’t kill them all in the first week of moving in!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">My love of DIY will most certainly be apparent as I want to
create an inspiration board made out of reinforcement steel and pegs. Magazine
clippings, photos and samples I adore can be hung and also double as art.</span></div>

<br>
At this point, I hadn't read the article yet, I was simply blown away by gorgeous imagery and style of the space. Then as I was reading along, I realised it was a renovated house boat on Lake Eildon in Victoria!<br>
<br>
I had been to Lake Eildon before, and seen the style of house boats sitting on the lake; old and run down but definitely looked like a fun family holiday home.<br>
You would instantly think that the renovated house boat that the designers of Pipkorn & Kilpatrick so effortlessly designed, was a home sitting in a leafy inner city suburb of Melbourne!<br>
<br>
The overall design is actually quite simple and lets the surroundings speak for itself. The natural beauty of the lake and the leafy bushland was their inspiration for the project.<br>
<br>
I love the contrast of the black details and warm timber panelling which gives the interior a sleek and contemporary look.<br>
<br>
The fact that they have a full size sofa and designer furniture pieces and accessories truly make this house boat a home.<br>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Welcome to my first DIY post! I have been wanting to start
this segment for a while, but found that my photography skills weren’t up to
scratch and didn’t really show off my DIY skills.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So I decided to attend a photography workshop,
hosted by the talented <a href="http://www.prueaja.com/" target="_blank">Prue Aja. </a></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I finally learnt how to use my DSLR off automatic mode, and
boy… what a difference!!! I’m still not confident but I am brave enough to
share with you my first step by step DIY tutorial from <a href="http://www.papernstitchblog.com/" target="_blank">Paper N Stitch Blog</a>. You
can find the original tutorial from her blog <a href="http://www.papernstitchblog.com/2013/09/19/how-to-make-fabric-vases-a-new-fabric-store-in-la/" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I wanted to find an easy DIY as it was easy to shoot while I
was in the workshop and didn’t have to worry too much. I even learnt how to
edit the photos too!! very excited!!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So here is how you can turn old tin cans into flower vases
or pot plant holders. As I said its very easy to recreate and inexpensive.</span></div>

Gold, copper, bronze and chrome. Feature them on their own or mix them up to add texture and colour.<br />
<br />
I have loved copper ever since <a href="http://www.tomdixon.net/uk/" target="_blank">Tom Dixon</a> brought out his <a href="http://www.tomdixon.net/uk/copper-25cm-pendant-eu.html" target="_blank">Copper Shade pendant</a>. But there is something about gold and brass that adds nostalgia and a "Palm Springs" or Art Deco charm.<br />
<br />
I have collected a range of my favourite interiors with gold or brass details. It works great in a contemporary home, yet adds fun to an eclectic or vintage room.<br />

I think a non comital and less expensive way to experiment with gold in your home, is with a simple DIY. Hunt down an old metal coffee table from Ebay, or an op shop and spray the legs in gold spray paint. There are so many awesome metal paints out there now, that look bright and shiny or even matt.</div>

A lot has happened in 2014 so far!<br />
<div>
We got married in Fiji in August and had an amazing time with our family and friends. </div>
<div>
We spent 5 weeks eating, drinking and shopping our way around S.E Asia and we are also in the middle of building our 2 townhouses!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some people have asked if I have the "wedding blues" after coming back from our wedding and honeymoon, I feel there is so much to look forward to that the planning never stops.</div>
<div>
I finally have time to put more effort into my blog and actually start working on the interiors for our own home! I'm looking forward to going shopping and making it feel like our own home. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is a quick photo of our 2 townhouses. It will be clad in weatherboard with a Colorbond roof to give it a coastal cottage feel. I didn't want to have an obvious party wall in between the 2 houses, so it will be hidden behind the weatherboards to give the impression it looks like one big home.</div>
<div>
The facade windows have been stepped out to look like they are bay windows.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our home is the one on the left. We designed the townhouses to have side access entry doors to give enough privacy between the two. I even chose a gorgeous yellow for our front door!! I think it will look great against the warm grey weatherboards.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will continue to post more progress shots as time goes on and we hope we will move in in January!! </div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
This weeks article that I contributed for Here & Now Magazine, shows you how to style your home for sale. Hope you learn a few tips and would love to hear your thoughts...</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A beautifully presented home can not only boost your final selling price but also set your home apart from the competition. It’s important to make that first impression count, so here are a few tips to ensure potential buyers will remember your home and want to make it their own.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="font-weight: bold;">De-</b><b style="font-weight: bold;">clutter</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s amazing how much we collect over the years, so the first thing I’d recommend is to de-clutter your home. It is a great way to throw away items that you don’t need, and it can give you a chance to start packing away items you don’t use all the time.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clean your home like you have never cleaned it before! Dust the top of skirting boards, doors and kitchen cupboards. Clean blinds and curtains and drapes. High pressure decks, paving and the driveway, and steam clean the carpets. This can dramatically improve your home without the need to spend too much.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now that your home is clean, fresh and airy, it’s time to stage your home. You need to leave your personal style behind and think like a buyer. Ensure each room has a clear purpose and only use necessary furniture.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<img alt="Entry" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1403" height="680" src="http://www.hereandnowmagazine.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Entry.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="453" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<b style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Entry</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I believe the entry to a home is very important. It is the first area a potential buyer will see. A hall table, artwork or a mirror keeps the area looking welcoming, bright and simple.</span></div>

<b style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dining Room</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For a dining room, you will only need the dining table, chairs, and maybe a buffet or hall table if room allows for it. It’s important to let as much natural light in and keep the room looking spacious. Keep the table centrepiece simple. A nice bunch of flowers or a small collection of vases with a table runner is all it needs.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;">

<b style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Living Room</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the living room, a buyer needs to imagine themselves relaxing and enjoying the space. Rearrange the furniture until you think it looks welcoming. Buy cushions that work with your existing furniture and don’t be afraid of adding some bold prints. A floor or table lamp can add a nice ambience to the room. If you do need to go out and buy accessories or small furniture items, ensure you can use them in your new house. Keep personal momentos and photos to a minimum.<b style="font-weight: bold;"> </b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">

<b style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kitchen</span></b></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="font-weight: bold;"></b>Keep the kitchen benchtops free from everyday mess. Leave items like a fruit bowl, open cookbook and pretty canisters on display.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The pantry and cupboards should be neat and organised. People love to open up doors and really see how much storage the home offers. If you open up a pantry and see it full to the brim, it shows that the home could be lacking storage space.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<b style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bedrooms</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bedrooms need to look neat and tidy. Ensure the bed linen is looking crisp and bright. Adding cushions and a throw rug completes the look. New lamps can also transform the room. Use artwork above the bed that compliments the bed linen.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s important to not hide away all the toys and books from kids bedrooms. I think it’s great to walk into a home and see that a young family lives there. It keeps the home looking realistic and shows off that it is a family home. In saying that though, keep the toys to a minimum. Display books on shelves and keep the floor clear. <b style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5em;"> </b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;">

<b style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bathrooms</span></b></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Store away shampoo bottles and loofas. The shower and benchtops need to be kept clutter free. Purchase nice soap dispensers or bottles and fresh matching towels. Ensure shower screens and mirrors are spotless.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<strong style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And finally…</span></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just before an open for inspection, take any pets with you and ensure the home is free from fur. A nice touch is to use chill out background music, light a scented candle and leave the doors to the entertaining areas open.</span></div>

<br />
I have some very exciting new to share!! I am the new Home contributor for Here & Now Magazine!<br />
My first article went live today and I discuss how to Redecorate Your Living Room on a Budget. Some of these tips are great not only for home owners, but for renters too.<br />
<br />
I will be contributing once a fortnight to the Home section of the mag. Sian is the founder and editor and started up Here & Now only a few months ago. It was created to help celebrate, inspire and support women aged 25 to 45 in all aspects of their life – whether they are a Mum, career woman or both (or neither!). <br />
<br />
You can check out the article from the link below and while your there, take a look around the online magazine! It's a great read and hope you enjoy! <br />

We flew out on a Friday morning and hired a car on our way to the Blue Mountains. Little did I know, that he organised a pre wedding shoot with our wedding photographers!! <a href="http://www.hilarycam.com.au/" target="_blank">Hilary Cam</a> and his assistant Nicola met us in a valley within the ranges and brought along the most adorable props that truly tells the tale of Tom and I. We met overseas and share a love for travelling, so the suitcase and my weird obsession with anything vintage was absolutely perfect. We then continued on to a beautiful apple orchard. Tom and I had such a great time and felt very comfortable with Hilary and Nicola and cannot wait for our Fiji wedding this August!<br />
I hope you enjoy the "small selection" of my favourite shots and cant wait to somehow use them in our wedding.<br />

During the month of August, I signed up for Package Pals, hosted by the <a href="http://www.creatingreallyawesomefreethings.com/package-pals/" target="_blank">C.R.A.F.T</a> blog. I was paired up with a lovely lady from Colorado and got to know about each other via email. It has been really great, and super cool that she is from the states!</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The best part is you get to send each other a crafty package. Today my package arrived and I was so excited! It was all very thoughtful and can't wait to start putting it all to good use. It all had to do with my wedding day! I can now tick off a few things on my crafty to do list, as she did the hard work for me!</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so excited I just had to share!</div>

My Package Pal made a gorgeous coat hanger to use as a photo prop to hang up my wedding dress. She also included a list pad so I can tick off all the crafty items I can make for the wedding, really fun scissors so I can make a tassel garland, and a catalogue from Paper Source. I already went on their website but they don't ship to Australia, so I might have to put a little order together so my PP can send it! ;)</div>

To make crafting just that little more enjoyable, she included some yummy goodies from her home town. I'm actually eating the block of chocolate as I type this. Sorry...I just couldn't resist!! It's so yummy!</div>

And the most amazing thing she made was a garland we can use for our bride and groom chairs at our reception! It's so sparkly just like my Pintrest board!!! The colours are perfect!!</div>

Now that I am in full wedding planning mode, I have noticed that confetti is trending in more ways than one. Not only is it used to celebrate a marriage, it can also be used as table decorations, photoshoot props, and invitations. It is even becoming popular in interiors. See what I have found, that really act the part in PARTY!! </div>

I think it is quite fitting. The interior is gorgeous and has carefully been restored to its former glory.<br />

The story of the Great Gatsby has been set in the 1920's Art Deco era. It would have to be one of my favorite era's in terms of fashion, architecture and furniture design.<br />
<br />
So this week, I have put together a collection of furniture and accessories that have an Art Deco influence that can create a glamorous and sophisticated feel to any home.<br />
<br />
When searching for Art Deco pieces, look out for geometric shapes, chrome details and fan like motifs. <br />

Catherine Martin has also designed The Fitzgerald Suite at <a href="http://theplazany.com/" target="_blank">The Plaza Hotel</a> in New York City which mimics the set of The Great Gatsby film. The attention to detail is very impressive, with a monochromatic colour scheme and geometric pattern shown in the wall and ceiling panelling and also in the furniture details. </div>
