Hamptons pool house in the heart of Sydney

Aussie devotees of Hamptons style will instantly recognise this gorgeous pool house. It was featured in Australian House and Garden magazine and, along with the main house, it can now be yours. The interior design is by Lynda Kerry, and gardens are the work of William Dangar, so you know it's something special...















I love it when a house I've admired in a magazine is listed for sale - there's nothing I like better than a virtual sticky beak (expect maybe a real one). And it's always interesting to see how a home styled for a magazine shoot can be completely transformed. For those who haven't seen the House and Garden feature, here's the link to the slideshow. Link here to the real estate listing while it lasts....

My brand new website - and the perils of perfectionism..

For the past year or so, I've been working on a new website for Driftwood Interiors. What I thought would be a fairly straightforward process (I knew how I wanted my site to look, how hard could it be?) was anything but. I had no idea of the work involved, the countless decisions to be made, or the sheer hard slog that goes into creating a site that works both visually and practically. Add the fact that I'm a terrible perfectionist and you get a never-ending cycle of not being 100% happy with at least something...

But enough is enough. I've decided to bite the bullet and let everyone know about my new website. There have been many, many changes since it (very quietly) went live, and there are still a few more to come. But here it is, the end result of all the blood, sweat, tears (and tantrums)..........my new Driftwood Interiors website and online store....




I'll be adding lots of new prints to the store over the next few days, and I'll also be offering a week of great discounts and deals to celebrate the launch. Here's a look at some of the brand new pieces I'll be adding - new ranges as well as new additions to my current lineup..

prints available in standard sizes (A4, A3, A2) as well as custom sizes



'Surge'
watercolour and ink



So that's just a taste of the new goodies to come. If you'd like to see more, why not head on over to the website and sign up for my newsletter? You'll be the first to know when new prints are added, and you'll also get some sweet rewards. 

Hope you like the new website, and I'd love to hear any feedback you may have. Anything to make sure it's perfect :)

New prints in store for Mothers' Day

I've finally got my act together and listed my Dragonfly prints in my Etsy store. Australian readers might recognise them from Home Beautiful magazine, when my lovely friend Judy of Verandah House had her beautiful home featured. Judy commissioned two large dragonfly pieces for her master bedroom, and it was so nice to see them gracing the walls of such a gorgeous home...


You can see more of Judy's gorgeous home here

It's black and white..

In the process of designing our new house, I thought I had at least a couple of things locked in. Timber floors - yep. Weatherboard exterior - for sure. White timber windows...definitely? They were a no-brainer until I came across my new obsession - black windows. I can't decide which way to go, and  I really love both options....



black...

or white...






Or maybe I'll just pretend I'm Victoria Grayson and go black inside, white out...


and take tea in my fabulous living room...







What to do, what to do? And I know, it's definitely a #firstworldproblem...
