Hope you all had a lovely Easter break. It was so nice to kick back, relax and enjoy the extended long weekend, and generally take it easy. I took the chance to work on my renovation/building plans, so the first port of call was my chock-a-block full inspiration folder. I actually have quite a few - some where I keep all my tear sheets, and my computer files, where I stash everything and anything that takes my fancy. I spent some time revisiting my favourites, and came across these pics of Collette Dinnigan's two gorgeous Paddington homes. I've posted about these before, but they're so lovely I couldn't resist going back for another helping.
simple, clean and just plain gorgeous

Now, my home is no heritage sandstone cottage, and somehow I'm guessing my budget is somewhat more limited than Collette's, but there's plenty here that could work in any home. A restrained palette, clean lines, but a relaxed, comfortable feel at the same time. Very nice indeed, and inspiration galore, in more ways than one. More on that later!
It is very beautiful and serene, but I just couldn't help myself, I'd have to throw in some bright colours :)

Why don't I live like this?
ReplyDeleteJust make sure the guest room is made up for me!!
ReplyDeleteOh... and I'm coming shopping! xx
Kerri these images are amazing and I can see so much of Colette's personality come through - feminine and soft, yet clean and sophisticated. So her!
ReplyDeleteI had the pleasure of working with Colette as part of a big up market event I did years ago. She launched her underwear collections at my event and I know her as being a super sweet and uber talented designer. So professional yet likable at the same time.
Loved these pics and yes those little cottages (in Paddington) are divine. If you come to Sydney before I move to Europe in July, I'll take you for a tour! x
