How now brown couch...

At home I have a dark brown leather lounge suite. I am fighting my need to replace it with a nice grey fabric sofa. Like this one below.

But, alas, my budget (husband) wouldn't allow it. So I am stuck trying to make it fit with my style. This calls for some research in the form of browsing Pinterest and Houzz.com (yay, my silent addiction).

I like the feature wall in the picture above, plus a massive artwork with white framing, and some neutral cushions. 

Another dark feature wall with white framed pictures. I think I'm starting to find a road to travel down. 

A little girls room

I want to share with you my nursery. It was originally my first daughters room and when number 2 came along Sam was moved to her big girl room and Eve moved in. 

I started with the paint colour. At first  I went with a pinky colour, but as soon as the paint went on the wall I hated it. So I started looking for a warm grey. And do you think I can find that colour again, no!

When we moved Sam into her big girl room, we also moved her 'name' too. This left a big vacant space on the wall so I just had to put Eve's name there too. 

The room isn't huge and the built in is tiny so we have had to increase the storage with a few pieces from one of my favourite stores...Ikea!

We also had a lamp which was made for my husband by his grandmother when he was just a little boy. I matched it with a pleated olive green shade, which tied in the paper bunting I made from scrapbook paper. 

So there it is, our nursery. I will share Sam's big girl room with you another time. 

Welcome

Hello and welcome to my blog!

My name is Audrey, I'm a stay at home mum and a part time Interior Designer. Like many stay at home mums I have been working hard to start a business of my own which will enable me to look after my beautiful girls while earning a living.  I have completed the interior design course provided by The Interior Design Academy and have previous design experience through working with a project home builder in Tamworth NSW.

Now after starting a family with my wonderful husband, it's time to follow the career path I so desperately want to follow. It's time for the adventure of a lifetime. I am aware there are many talented interior designers  and stylists in Tamworth, and I'm not trying to compete with them, I just want to earn a living by doing something I thoroughly enjoy.

I have my own style, which is forever growing and changing. I want to use this blog as a means of expressing and sharing my likes and tastes when it comes to designs, products and styles. I also hope to share some of my future projects in this blog.

So stay tuned and stay inspired.

Sincerely Audrey Barton, Interior Designer.
