Adore Book

I have fond memories of our home being featured in Adore Home Magazine last year. It was a gorgeous issue and it felt very special being on the cover for the Christmas edition. What's more, our living room photographed by the talented Helen Bankers has been included in the recently published Adore Book, a collection of the magazine's "best of" interiors as well as a new array of home spaces to inspire. 

The book is a dream come true for editor Loni Parker who had long aspired to bring the virtual pages of her hugely popular online magazine to life. Scouring the globe to find extraordinary homes and putting the book together over the course of six months, Loni says "Whilst the interiors in this book vary greatly in style, one thing remains constant - they're all beautifully designed spaces that layer textures, patterns, colours and above all, personality in a loving way." 

Excited to receive my copy last week, I've been blown away by what an amazing job Loni and her team of talented contributors have created. Divided into ten chapters according to room type, the stunning book includes page after page of beautifully inspiring images and styling tips. 

At the end of each chapter a panel of homeowners and interior designers share their helpful hints across a range of decorating topics. I got the chance to share my words of wisdom in the Creative Walls section (above left).   

A stunning coffee table book for any lover of interiors, this would also make a gorgeous gift. Within Australia, you can purchase a copy from Adore, or from a select list of retailers. It can be purchased worldwide from here, and in NZ, from Cush & Nooks. As expected, there has been a huge demand and owner Vic has already sold out of her first two orders, but she will be getting more in, so email her directly at cushandnooks@airnet.net.nz to pre-order yours today.  

Before I go, it is with much pleasure that I get to announce the winner of the Forestry & Milo and Mitzy giveaway! Congratulations to Melissa Craig!!  You have won the beautiful 100% NZ wool Circle | Grid Blanket. Thanks to everyone who entered - we had an incredible response, and sincere thanks to Forestry and Milo and Mitzy for their generosity.
