Pretty Country House


It really is such a treat being able to work in beautiful houses.  I am currently working on a house out in the country which has a big fabulous barn, horses and very pretty gardens.  It is an old white Queenslander and it really is something very special.  I love it so much I had to share it.  Here's a little snapshot of the front garden.  I've also posted a few photos below of the beautiful sofas, cushions and rug we delivered there this week.  Next on the agenda is a custom built-in bookcase which will cover an entire wall floor to ceiling.  I have also been asked to find a beautiful Antique dining table and chairs and the best part of all is that the clients are so kind and so easily pleased.  They love everything I show them which makes my job so easy and at the end of the day I think it makes the look so much more beautiful too...

  1. Anna, you are truly gifted. Those blue stripe sofas are incredibly chic; I've never seen sofas like them before. Perfect cushioning, too.

  2. I love the fabric. Is that a dhurrie or a denim stripe?
    Tell me more. It looks modern yet a tad bit rustic.
