Client Files: Elegant Nursery

Today I wanted to share another e-decorating project I've been working on.  The client sent me pictures of her daughter's nursery wanting ideas to dress it up.  She already had the white furniture and the pink polka-dot bedding and unfortunately the fabric she had chosen for window treatments was currently out of stock. So this is what I put together ...

 Using the raspberry color of the bedding as a jumping point, I found an alternate fabric that paired it with a punchy apple green, then added in accessories that would give it some feminine glam.  I like to look at some non-traditional sources for children's rooms in order to give the space a little more sophistication.

I hope both she and her mommy love it and I am excited to see the "after" pictures.

Happy Friday!

Cape Town designer Gregory Mellor

 

A few weeks ago I discovered the beautiful interiors of Gregory Mellor. Gregory is a native South African but has traveled extensively. Having lived in Cape Town, Sydney and even in London influenced his work. His interiors reflect a combination of international styles and influences, seamlessly fused together to create an effortlessly chic and overall effect.

In Cape Town he worked on several homes across the Atlantic Seaboard and the exclusive Southern Suburbs.

In 2009 Gregory formed his own Design Studio in Sydney, Australia and early 2011 he returned to his hometown Cape Town, South Africa to expand his business, allowing him to access the best of both South African and Australian interior design resources.

  I do love these beach house interiors.

GM 1

“Greg Mellor’s personal style embodies everything that is synonymous with his inconspicuous approach to classic, dateless and ultimately comfortable interior design. Combinations such as white washed walls and aged timber flooring might provide a relaxed foil to a collection of European antiques mixed with mid 20th Century classics; or natural linens contrasting with a fine printed velvet are some examples he might employ to create the perfectly balanced and layered interior space.” (Text website of Gregory Mellor)

Gregory recently started his own blog : HERE! It looks very promising!

Enjoy!

New Things

We've had another influx of new things at Black & Spiro this week.  The new blue and white inlay chest of drawers which we have placed in our front window with the butterfly fabric is very beautiful.  We also have new pale pink cockatoo lamps which we've had custom made for our store, lots of new cushions in fabrics I bought when we were overseas earlier this year, a pair of antique armchairs and yet another delivery of our special blue and white ginger jars. 

It certainly has been a busy week getting all of our new things into the shop.  Here are a couple of photos I thought you might like to see.  The colourful, mismatched and at times very wild style we seem to be known for is very noticeable in these pictures.

I can't believe it's Friday tomorrow already and another long weekend.  I don't know about you but I'm finding it hard to fit everything I need to do into these short weeks!!
