Wondering how we took the photographs for our website? With little photography experience ourselves, we weren’t entirely sure how to start either, but here are some thoughts we have on our experience so far…

We’re lucky enough to live on Waiheke Island, situated off the North Island of New Zealand and just a 40-minute ferry ride from Auckland. Living on an island, with the sea surrounding us, the sun shining, and the beautiful native birds singing, we find inspiration in everyday life…

This week we’re talking about Mary Quant, hailed as one of the most influential designers of the 20th century. When you think of the 1960s, you think of Quant. Breaking into the fashion scene in 1950s London, she’s known for popularising the mini-skirt and turning the ‘Swinging Sixties’ into an iconic decade…

We believe that you should be able to trust us to provide the best quality items on offer. All handmade cushions are crafted to the highest standard, and quality-checked before being delivered to your door. In addition, all furs and throws are made from pure materials and sourced from countries known for quality, such as Iceland, Mongolia, Ireland…

Our little online store started on a rainy day. Beverley sat with her family, talking about her dream of starting an online business with the thirty years of interior design experience behind her.
