It is Katherine Rally, it is absolutely beautiful and we are so excited to have this totally new line in our showroom. The colours are extensive and vibrant; there is a delicious tangerine, a lovely versatile kelly green and a stunning pink coral to name just a few.

The name Katherine Rally comes from a talented husband and wife duo, Katherine and Rally Dupps. Their inspiration for the line was during their travels to Indonesia. Surrounded by stunning beauty, they created their own line of batiks inspired by their love of travel, textiles and design.

The range includes fabrics by the yard, cushions and tableware.

We have their line in our showroom now, so pop by if you too are craving the warmer months and in need of a little inspiration.

These cushions are really so special.

Imagine your table with these and a jug of sangria!

I hope you’re all enjoying your holiday weekend.

This image of photographer Matt Albiani’s Nantucket hideaway brings back wonderful memories of going away over the holiday weekend with friends and family. It’s making me miss summer in the US (it is absolutely freezing here in Melbourne!).

I am so flattered by all your kind words and beautiful photos you posted on MA Belle. Thank You, Thank you, Thank you Michelle! The past few weeks have been hectic and very exciting here at DBI.
We had a fabulous time in Sydney at the D&D show. Michelle Adams of Rubie Green fabrics was a huge hit with her talk on Eco Chic Living. She was so inspiring; she clearly redefines Eco & Green. She then spent a week with us here in Melbourne. My teenage daughters Annis & Coco have deemed Michelle #1 best house guest ever!
We had a great time at our showroom launch party on Michelle’s last night here. I think she may already be planning her next trip back to Australia.

I am an Interior Designer from New York, presently living in Melbourne Australia.
I have been seriously obsessed with design blogs for some time now.

The decision to blog or not to blog was made at last!
I hope you enjoy my musings on all things chic and glamorous.
Interiors, travel, books, shoes, art, and design just to name a few.

Best,
Diane B
