About
Sisters and best friends for 40 (something) years, its taken us quite some time to get organised enough to start this business together (although we've talked about it forever)
After many years gallivanting around the country, starting careers, buying houses, finding husbands and producing offspring (at last count there were 7 between us)... we finally find ourselves planted in the same place, at the same time, with a combined love and depth of experience in renovating and styling.
Raised by a gypsy hearted, single mama, our childhood was a constant roam & great adventure. Settling in various places around Australia (including a 27 ft caravan), collecting and renovating old furniture & homes became second nature. As a result of our unusual upbringing, our beautiful mama imparted to us her no nonsense, 'can do' attitude, with a side helping of treasure hunting.
As a designer - "practical , sensible and savvy, with an unrelenting eye for detail"... meets stylist - "creative, optimistic, can shop in her sleep" ....we are a well rounded, balanced team who set out to create authentic, thoughtful & beautifully designed spaces.
We are based in Ocean Grove, Victoria, working along the Surf coast, Bellarine and Geelong areas.
Of course if you have an interior project on a far away tropical island, please don't hesitate to contact us, we do love to travel too!
jade
Jade is our designer. Her creative side is well balanced by her practical & functional vision for design.
Relishing in the details, she sets out to create beautiful, functional spaces that are a joy to live in.
As the wife of a builder, this industry is second nature to her, it's practically flowing through her veins. Jade is self-taught but so clearly a natural, she can’t walk into a house without drawing up a floor plan in her head with changes she’d make.
Clever and savvy in design choices and selections, she enjoys working within budgets and the challenges that arise.
We are so very thankful she loves a good spreadsheet and timeline, keeping everyone in check!
Most of all she loves getting on site and being involved with all aspects of design, building, selections and helping it all come together.
Jade lives in Ocean Grove with her laid back, loving family. Her builder husband Dan ( currently renovating their home) and their 4 sand covered, saltwater soaked children, Jett, Makani, Nahoa and Zephyr.
sami
Sami is our stylist. Many moons ago she began her career as a photographer's assistant, however she quickly jumped ship after realising how much more fun a stylist's job was.
Throughout her 20 years of styling, she's had the pleasure of working on amazing projects in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, and was at one stage the head stylist at the Sydney Morning Herald.
Sami has been a contributor to numerous interior & lifestyle publications, including Real Living, Inside Out & Home Beautiful, and has collected a range of clients from major commercial retailers to boutique brands, including Myer, Kmart, & Forty Winks.
Creating & dressing beautiful spaces to be lived in, has become her drive, with a special fondness for balancing the old with the new.
This girl can shop up a storm, lives for sourcing and is constantly rearranging.
Now based on the Victorian coast, she is wife to a saltwater loving, music man and mama to three free-spirited girls, Bo, Leni & Stevie.
