Those of our Melbourne readers may be regulars of the My Space section in Saturday's Age over a good cappuccino!. For those of you who are not, My Space appears every Saturday and tells about different people's work spaces and how they interact in them. It is always an interesting read and covers a broad range of people and their professions. We were lucky enough to be featured in the latest My Space and thought we would share it with you! Click on the image below to read Diane's interview and also have a sneak peek in to the inspiring work space that is Diane Bergeron interiors! Thanks to Lindy Percival for the interview.

We were super excited to get our new Real Living magazine July issue with our good friend Michelle Adams inside! She graces no less than 8 pages and her apartment looks fantastic! We know Michelle has been working so hard to get everything spic and span for this shoot and she has done a brilliant job. She really shows what can be done in a small space and on a budget. Her look is nothing less than stylish and Michelle's natural flair for transforming interiors is obvious! Patrick Cline has taken these beautiful photos and together, he and Michelle make a great team! We are so proud of you Michelle! Come back and see us again very soon...... or we will just have to come and see you. Huge congratulations - you look so darn cute on that sofa too!

Oh, we forget to mention that as well as being pretty and clever, Michelle is the founder of her own organic fabric range, Rubie Green.

Did we say she has a great blog too..........

as well as being really, really nice

and funny?

One of the best things about doing up a house is the before and after photos we all take. Sometimes the change can be vast and the room becomes almost unrecognizable from its original state. Very often changing a room to suit is expensive and can disrupt a whole household. Well, not always. As great fans of Eddie Ross, we are always keen to find out what he is up to and his recent butler's pantry reno. had us aghast! So simple, so stylish and so effective - Eddie you are a genius. Take a look below at the the before and after of this pantry and then tell us that this man is not brilliant! So with a minimum of fuss, and not too many dollars later, Eddie's pantry would make any butler weep.

Whilst we don't want to turn this blog into a complete ‘thank fest' it would definitely be remiss of us not to thank our fellow bloggers for mentioning us.

Make sure you scroll through her blog and discover some of Amanda's fabulous finds too.

We love reading blogs and none more so than Kimberlee ‘s Brown Button. Her daily (and often quirky!) musings always leave us happy and sometimes moved. Kimberlee is an accountant by day and shows her creative side through her blog. ( you will have to get out of that office one day.... You are way too talented and clever with words to devote all that time to figures!)
Brown Button has recently opened a shop (online of course) which houses a collection of all things Kimberlee loves. Make sure you have a look - there is sure to be something you will want. There is no better time than now as she is offering free postage until the end of the month. Be quick and let us know what you bought! Congrats. Kimberlee!

We have recently been inspired by other bloggers posting about one of our favourite things when it comes to decorating! The use of stripes - yes the simple (and straight!) stripe can convert the most banal of rooms to the most droolworthy! Even used in the smallest of rooms, the stripe can add grand proportions of the most magestic kind. And we are not talking about beige stripes either here............we mean pink , yellow ,black and just about any colour to make a statement and in any room of the house.Vertical, horizontal,wallpaper, rugs on the floor - the brighter the better! What about you? Are you game on for stripes???

We were recently talking to one of our customers about the challenges of decorating a small kitchen. Aside from all the appliances and the actual working part of a kitchen, somewhere comfortable to sit is essential to ensuring the whole room works. So......ta da! The banquette is back and with more glamour and style then ever! We found these photos from our collection of favourite images to show you what we mean. Wouldn't you love to be sitting here? Come to think of it, who would want space to spare if you couldn't have one of these? Not me!
