There’s a special MAGIC to the start of a brand new year. With a clean slate before us, we ’ re suddenly filled with all kinds of INSIGHTS and INSPIRATION about the life we really want to live.
-Natalie Walton
Over the last few years, I've been leaning into the idea of choosing a SINGLE word for the year ahead Replacing the list of (often broken) resolutions with a single word to focus on, is kinder to oneself and yields better results
This year our word is SIMPLIFY.
The pandemic taught us many lessons How to slow down and adjust our perspective. We carved out a better work-life balance and relished in growing our own vegetables! As we emerge and adjust to life postpandemic, we don't want to lose sight of those lessons and we ' re leaning into the word: SIMPLIFY
Simplify our systems, both at work and around the home so that everyday life is just a bit easier, more manageable & meaningful.
Here's to a wonderful 2023 and a beautiful season of SUMMER SIMPLIFIED!

The search for the perfect hue of white is as elusive as finding the perfect black dress!
White paint has the magic to completely transform a space and is the most popular go-to colour to refresh our homes and interior spaces
The colour white is the quintessential backdrop for layering timber pieces and other more colourful accessories White provides breathing room and allows other pieces to shine
White enhances feelings of space, light, calm and connectivity throughout our homes The POWER of WHITE remains strong yesterday, today and tomorrow
