2013

It's been a long while in between posts, that's for sure. And I do feel guilty about it. Sorry about that. It's been a bit mad around here lately. So I'll recap - we've moved in to our Queenslander the week before Christmas.There were packing boxes, Christmas decorations, presents and crumpled packing paper strewn around the place. In my mind I was channeling Nigella's Christmas - all gingerbread and icing sugar, soft candle light and glistening gifts under the tree. The reality was more "Noel at Storage King". But still, it was lovely to be in our new house. Then there was New Year with friends who have an outdoor pizza oven - delicious. Followed by a couple of weeks of unpacking boxes. That just about brings us to up date. This photo is me in our office today as I'm checking out the fabric for a roman blind. For those of you who know me, the leopard print pants will be a shock. I've always been a bit scared of wearing leopard until now but its a new year so I'm trying new things. Will blog again soon, I Promise.

About Spots and Stripes

When I began my third renovation, I swapped the corporate ladder for the rusty paint ladder and began my website and blog, Spots and Stripes, which chronicles the restoration of our 'Queenslander' in Brisbane. I'm also an interior editor helping clients to create a home which is not modern, nor traditional, rather it's interesting. For a home that is unlike any other, I can assist with the selection of lights, tiles, mirrors, wallpaper, paint, furniture and fabric.
