I must say I am having so much fun on instagram. I have met many like-minded people and I am loving getting my daily fix of visual stimulation.

One of my new friends, Donna, from Nest Emporium (she owns a beautiful homewares shop in Thirroul NSW), started an instagram challenge called ‘5 Things Confessional’. She put me up to the challenge and in the spirit of instagram I couldn’t decline.

Here’s my post where you may learn just a little more about me;

Oh boy @nestemporium has nominated me for #5thingsconfessional .....so here we go;

1/ I wanted to impress my motor biking boyfriend (now husband), so much that I secretly went to get my motor bike license. I dismally failed when my neck froze from fear. But according to him failing was the best surprise ever.

2/ I am super sensitive to energy. Around both people and space. I consider myself a space healer. Then an interior designer. Touch Interiors was named 'Touch' because I have a huge fascination with texture and surfaces. Their energetic properties and the way they make us feel. My selections are always dictated by choosing the right texture first then the right colour.

3/ The happiest time in my life was becoming a mother for the first time and taking our new born son to LA for 7 months while Jas cut a film. I have a deep affinity with America and Americans. I love their positivity, their directness and their Anthropologie where I seriously hyperventilated when I first walked into their Santa Monica store.

4/ I have an unbiased appreciation for many design styles. I don't think I'll ever have a signature style. I certainly can't see it in my own work, can you?

5/ I love Instagram so much. I love being part of a community that allows me to share the beauty I see in my world. And I love seeing the beauty in yours too. I love that I can enter this world absolutely whenever I want. I love that I can get a social fix lying on my sofa all by myself.

Thank you new insta friends. B x

If you thought about joining the instagram bandwagon I highly recommend giving it a go. It’s easy, fast and so so fun. Make sure you pop by and say hello to me if you do.

It has been a busy few months

Hello lovely people out there. It has been a while I know.

And gosh does it feels great to be back here.

 

I have been in a cloud of creation...busy working on a dream.

 

 

Almost 8 months ago over a fateful coffee with a very dear colleague Patricia, the decision was made to get my (now our) vision for Complete Pad off the ground. I am very excited to announce that the first of 4 very exciting new features for Complete Pad will go live next month and I am eagerly waiting this long anticipated moment.

 

An enormous amount of love, energy & devotion has gone into making it a reality and there is still a lot more to be done before the rest of our vision is realised. An enormous thanks to Patricia for her sheer brilliance and dedication in getting us to the point we are at. I thought I'd share a snippet from our new look with you here today.

My Touch Interiors website will also get a spruce up, embarrassingly overdue I know.

 

Other exciting news includes being selected for the Australian House and Garden magazine Top 50 Rooms edition again this year. Thank you H&G for including me amoungst such fine talent.

 

I was also honoured to be feature in Adore's lovely Blissfull Bedrooms feature too.

 

The girls at Touch have been busy working on a few exciting projects too. Collaborating with the gorgeous Cathy we have been selecting furniture and fittings for a wonderful new bar that opend this week in Crows Nest. The friends and family night was alot of fun and it was so good to see everything in place and looking so fabulous. I hope to have pictures to show you soon.

 

And to add some more chaos to my busy life I have had floor sanders, carpenters, electricians, painters, wallpaperers and landscapes at our home for the past few weeks. Things are starting to really take shape and it is starting to really feel like home. I just need to find a few moments to get Jas to take some decent pics to share.

 

I hope you are all well, happy and inspired.

 

Until next time!

I'm on Instagram

It has taken me a while but I am finally on Instagram and I think I have found my preferred social networking medium.

This is fun (and quick)!

This was my first photo I shared on instagram showing the view out my office window.

My instagram name is bronwynpoole.

Are you on Instagram too? Let me know.

Marie Olsson Nylander

The stunning home of Swedish interior designer Marie Olsson Nylander sure makes for some stunning images.

Curated colour, earthy texture, rustic elements, lots of white, playful proportions,

and all combined with interesting, unexpected, vintage and most successfully, what appears to be, meaningful pieces.

Love Love...

love love!

And WOW the bones of her home...well that helps doesn't it.

Enjoy this inspiration. I know I have.

Artwork Love

I think Miranda Skoczek's artwork is stunning. I was so excited to see her latest work.

'The Gathering' 2012 is absolutely exquisite.

Gosh would I love it on my wall.

Beautiful pink bird. Goodnight!

Buongiorno Beautiful Trim!

I just love our global community. To think I just ordered this vintage trim from Florence Italy only 10 days ago and now it's sitting on my desk ready to go out to my workroom is, well, quite amazing!

Thank you Auria for the lovely little note and extra trim. It made me smile.

Here's a quick snap shot of the bedlinen about to go out to a clients home. I adore the pretty fresh colours and natural trims we have used.

The european cushions are over sized perfect for their king bed and the duvet cover is the most divine oatmeal waffle weave fabric - all washable and easy care.

Their huge, and I mean HUGE, over sized bedhead was delivered last week and I am dying to see it tomorrow. I am also very keen to see their box pleated valance on their bed. I haven't made one like this before but think it will look so beautiful.

Have a lovely day.
