Whirlwind weekend...

Life has flown by since last Friday when I found out my sister was having her baby early. I flew up to North Queensland late Friday night so I could be there and it was an amazing weekend. They had a little girl {named Grace} who is absolutely gorgeous. It was so hard for me to leave them and fly back to work on Monday morning (the 6am flight isn't fun at the best of times!!!). I can't wait to see her again in a few more weeks :-)

Finished product...

I'm so excited!!!! My dining chairs are finished and were delivered to work today for me to take home. I couldn't resist taking a picture of them in the front section of the shop around a gorgeous Stuart Membery round table. If only this was my dining room at home!!! I'll be sure to post some pics at home once things are a little closer to being finished. To see the chairs before their makeover click here.

I found these cute prints on Etsy which I thought would like great in a cluster wall with some other pieces I have. I would love to hear if anyone has any other sources...

Cot musings...

With renovations almost complete, the room that will be our nursery {this room is our study / my craft room at the moment} will soon be ready to decorate. I have a lot planned in my mind but have been searching the web for inspiration. We already have a cot which is identical to the last picture and I love it. It was an ebay find of course!!! I have posted a few of my favourite pictures of cots (found here & here), although there are so many more :-)

Beautiful pots... Where are you?

It's exciting times for me at the moment as our little renovations are drawing to an end!!! One of the things I am most looking forward to is having an entertaining area at one end of the backyard which leads into our rumpus room. The paving and edging is almost finished and my mind is whirling with ideas of pots, plants and how to decorate the fabulous new space. There is a gorgeous shaded area in one corner which lends itself to a hammock for lazy reading. I have it all pictured in my head, but now to finally put it into action {the fun part}.

Now.... If only I could find some fabulous pots and planters to complete the look :-)

Black & Spiro unveiled ...

We are open again!!! The new Black & Spiro store / design studio was unveiled on Wednesday night of this week to friends and clients and proved to be a fabulous night. It has been many weeks of hard work in the lead up, but the end result is more than worth it - we are all so excited and had so much fun getting everything ready!!! The new look is bright, fun and full of colour and sophistication. The Stuart Membery furniture is stunning and looks fabulous amongst all the other pieces. Anna Spiro has posted more gorgeous pictures on her blog {click here to have a look at her amazing showroom}.

I hope you are able to pop in and visit us if you live in Brissie or happen to be passing through...

Have a fabulous weekend :-)
