0 chateau peep

I have been changing things around slowly at Chateau Peep since my last shoot, new sofas, new art, new dining table base etc so I thought it was time to capture it all. Jacqui Turk came over for the day and this is the result! I will show you over a few posts, today its the lounge and dining room

I can't believe it's actually here! The Adore Home Book is officially in residence and I am thrilled to bits to have so much of my work included (and my own place). Hannah and I worked for months on shooting these gorgeous spaces and the people in them. I implore you to track yourself down a copy if you haven't already, there is so much to be inspired by and the book looks bloody good on the coffee table too! These shots are only some of what I have in there so go have a read to see it all

Well done Loni x

1 farewell friend

This week I bid farewell to my desk. An old friend actually came out of the woodwork and bought it. Now the blank slate begins! but before I forget my office roots, lets take a look back at her best hits...

I'm excited for a new chapter in office decoration, now to find the desk...

4 office mood board

As I have previously mentioned, I feel a lot of pressure with this room in my new place. I really want something different - a new look. I am feeling a pastel - mint, lilac and pink (of course) with a fresh white backdrop and a little gold, there's always a little gold. The time is coming for me to start buying some delights to make this happen! Brass pencil holder - tick, desk - tick, rug - tick, France, not France at the framers, Praia Piquinia also at the framers, lamp from Regency Distribution is very close to being bought (I just have to make sure it's yellow gold I want) then there's the all important chair, I have been holding out hope I will find some amazing gem while traingling but I am losing hope, fingers crossed for this weekend!

2 lately

I found these gold dining chairs at Salvos, yes they made my heart flutter but after a bit of investigating I discovered they would cost over $100 per chair to reupholster, after which I may as well buy newies so I left them for some other lucky hunter. I did, however come away with this little sheep seat warmer below...

and then...we got a belated wedding gift! Hurrah for Jules best man taking his sweet time, now we have a zebra cow hide to tart up le office

I scored this acrylic facet object at Vinnie's for a few dollies which makes a nice coffee table friend for my DD vase don't you think?

And yes, yet another dining room pic, I am going to get a quote for an acrylic table top and may get 5 more of these Karim Rashid's to go around. Slowly slowly........

5 holiday cupboard

Interiors Addict did a cute post about de-cluttering the home accessories we all accumulate over time. My mother in law has a cupboard she calls the 'holiday cupboard' where things go for a little rest while the other delights are playing outside. I have developed my very own holiday cupboard for the accessories I love but don't want to part with. It has taken the pressure off as I am a de-clutter maniac and tend to throw stuff out when I'm over it only to find myself longing for it again 6 months later. Having a third bedroom solves this problem! H - the spiky stand is yours if you want it

2 dining saga continues

Yes, yes, the saga continues, what the hell am I going to do with this base? Glass isn't for me, the marble doesn't fit and will white be too boring? I am getting a quote for a white shiny hexagonal top which would make accessorising the chairs easier but I am still not 100% sure. I LOVE these hounds tooth chairs from Kartell but sadly cannot afford the $1500 per chair price tag. The cow hide is a loan from a girlfriend who had it in storage and I think it looks perfect under the gold. I really do need to make a decision quick about this so we can start having people over!

This little vignette is in the dining room, I am smoothing out the springbok hide and need to move it as it's a little too much with the cow hide next door, my favourite bench is staying, as is the Lady Gaga meat pic, fitting for a dining room, no?

0 the hall

I've never had a hall to warrant a hall table so this is a real treat for me (plus an extra space to flex my styling muscles) I imagine this is going to be ever changing, in my head when I was thinking about the table I thought it wouldn't work with the blonde floor boards but seeing it now it makes sense. I had fantasies of painting the mango wood black and white with some graphic pattern but I don't think it needs it, as much as I want to get creative I think I will leave this as is for now...

2 move day

For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you would know that I moved on Saturday. I literally did not stop moving from 7am - 9pm and was brain dead at the end of the day, but it was SO worth it to have everything all done and fresh. Here are a few pics from the day, more to come this week of some finished spaces/vignettes.
