Business Game Changers

HIRING AN INTERIOR DECORATOR ON A BUDGET IS POSSIBLE
The exact reason I started my business was to make interior decorating more accessible to everyday homeowners and renters, just like you! My approach is a little different to what you see in Hollywood movies and rather than swanning in with a team of people, it’s just...
Who’s On My Speed Dial?
As a solo business owner, I rely on a handful of other people and businesses to help me create beautiful homes for my clients. (Did I just shatter the perception that I CAN do it ALL?!). In my line of work there is never really such a thing as a decorating emergency...
How Much Does It Cost to Hire A Decorator?

My Art Predictions for 2016
As a buyer for TheHome.com.au my job is to source art for the online store and pick out new trends. Then, as a decorator I’m always looking at art for clients.  I’m not sure that one full working day passes by without me looking at artworks. Most of my...

Ok, confession, I didn’t actually buy this book, it was given to me at Shaynna’s Taubmans high tea I attended the other day. But it’s absolutely fab, lots of practical advice for homeowners looking to either engage an interior designer or to DIY decorate. Highly...Buy Of The Week: Importico Watercolour Cushion
