Three words that best describe you?

Loyal, Caring and Humble

 

What’s your ideal day?

  1. Sleep in! If that is even possible with a 2 year old! Haha! No, I love getting up to his smiling face every morning, hanging out with him if he isn’t at daycare but if he is, that’s when I get my work done. I am so lucky to have my social media job. I absolutely love every single brand I work with and feel honoured to create the content I do each day. It’s so fun, so I think I am very lucky to have this kind of job. On the weekends that’s when I get creative with my makeup. Predominantly I do wedding makeup, so my weekends are taken up by lots of beautiful brides and their wedding parties.

What was your biggest splurge when designing your home?

  1. I had my eye on a White Boucle Arm Chair for a long time and although it wasn’t practical for a toddler, I just went for it and I absolutely love it.

 

What lesson(s) did you learn when you designed your home?

  1. I’ve tried to keep things simple and not too fussy because of my toddler.

 

When it comes to designing a home, what does your design process look like?

  1. I find it’s a little bit of trial and error, moving things around and finding out what other pieces I can add to the space.

 

  1. What are your top 3 design/style tips for building or renovating a house?
    1. I haven’t ever renovated or built a home but when I do it will be space and natural light.

  1. You’re given a limited renovation budget; how would you spend it wisely to transform a home?
  1. I have never done a renovation but when we do, I would spend my money on the bathroom, kitchen and living areas.

 

What’s the biggest interior design mistake you’ve ever made?

  1. Buying furniture in a rush and realising that it doesn’t really suit the space, colour scheme well. I tend to buy things quickly, when I really need to give myself some time to think about it and how it will suit the space.

 

What qualities do you look for when choosing materials, furniture and accessories in your designs?

  1. TODDLER PROOF and long lasting. I try and buy things my son won’t completely ruin but still looks stylish, inviting and cozy for guests.
