Object of Desire // Antique tapestries

by Poppy in Interior Design, Object of the Month 0 comments

I've always been mostly a traditionalist. Perhaps it's my father's ancient English roots or perhaps my mother's lineage of fine dressmaking. I think it is actually the combination of this history paired with the circumstances of my own life that have formed my affiliation with the traditional. In Australia life is easy, being outside is a huge part of any childhood, and the architecture is, frankly, for the most part basic.

Colour of Winter // Rouge Carmin

by Poppy in Colour of the Month, Interior Design 0 comments tags: Colour, crimson, dark red, Red, Winter

This season we're going for a wonderfully rich, festive colour. Rouge Carmin is the sort of colour that has big power, the sort of colour that it's impossible to shy away from, the sort of colour that just screams sultry winter evenings by the fire.
