I wanted to download all the things I saw as a stylist and designer, so I wrote a book. You see I believe in decorative karma, so I am always up for sharing. But deadlines being deadlines and books being the beautiful, permanent things that they are, I went into a white-knuckle panic after I had finished it… How will I tell the people who bought the book about other things that I come across? What if I find a better shade of white for north-facing spaces? What if I style a house that the world needs to see for its sheer gobsmacking beauty? There are just way too many good things out there – new colours, new ways to do things, new solutions to old problems – and it seems unfair not to share them. I decided that a blog with top-up information could support homelove. So if homelove the book has all the seriously chunky information in it – the real how to’s and must know’s, then homelove the blog is a place where new ideas can be found and we can share…

Gift giving is a trait I love to encourage. Mrs Red and Sons is more than just an Asian emporium. It’s a dying breed of single-interest retailers who deserve patronage on their generous gift wrapping alone. As well as being great for presents, (think ceramic chopstick rests in the shape of pastel painted butterflies for small change), things here are just special and just so. No matter what you buy, or how much it costs, they wrap as if you have spent a king’s ransom. And where else in Sydney do you get your change on a silver service tray? Beautiful manners win every time, especially in a service-starved place like Sydney.
