MY FAVOURITE THINGS
Buttoned ottoman Made by Peter Bern with de Le Cuona fabric. Mirror An antique purchased from Conley & Co; it’s one of a pair. Buffet de corps and
lamp Bought from The Country Trader about 25 years ago. Statues We picked them up on a boat trip to Turkey, from a Greek island called Symi.
Side table I had it custom-made by Mode Artisan a long time ago. Chair A bespoke piece by Aaron Upholstery.
Rug Bought from Robyn Cosgrove; it’s a lovely calm palette to live with.
Small ottoman Another bespoke piece made by Aaron Upholstery. We use it as another seat when we have a lot of people over, which is often.
Scatter cushion It’s made from an Indian silk fabric I bought while travelling in India. Books I love books about interior design. These two
are Andrew Martin’s Interior Design
Review, which I was featured in, and the second is by Piet Boon, a Dutch designer whose work inspires me. Candle By Fornasetti. Crystal
vase By William Yeoward. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT
YOUR HOME? It’s my happy place. I love the calm, warm and welcoming feeling it has plus it’s filled with things we have collected over the past 34 years. Our home tells a story. HOW DO YOU RATE YOUR SUBURB? It’s leafy, green and walking distance to both the beach and great restaurants. It’s a suburb where people are out with their pets from early in the morning to late at night. NAME YOUR GO-TO EATERIES Seans Panaroma, Brown Sugar, The Shop & Wine Bar and La Piadina.
