Once home to Thomas Mathewson, a pioneering Brisbane photographer, councillor and historian, this beautiful abode has been given a new lease of life by developer Michelle Cao from Mii and Co. “It’s a lovely old Queenslander and was an absolute labour of love for me.

So I owe you a long overdue follow up to our renovation plans. If this is your first time hearing about our renovations definitely start with this post here.

Block host Scotty Cam revealed the latest rooms in his own Tree Change house last night and they were probably a lot less masculine than we expected! Once again he’s gone all out for a heritage feel but with the best modern comforts. The plan was to present two bathrooms and a bedroom for the […]
A new boutique has landed in the heart of Amsterdam and it feels like stepping into a 1970s fever dream.

The importance of accessories never ceases to amaze me. Though we both still love the previous option, a longtime client of mine is as invested in beautiful design as I am. We designed her condo years ago (you can see that reveal here if you’d like), and we still love every moment of it. She […]
