Good Old Blue & White


I have posted this bedroom before but I thought I would post it again today as I still love it and it reminded me that blue and white can look so beautiful in a bedroom.  I also love the black iron bed and the mix of furniture styles in this room.   {image - country living magazine}




Here are a couple of new blue and white fabrics which hit our fabric library this week.  I'm sure the die hard blue and white fans will be excited to know that we have had a very big influx of beautiful blue and white fabrics over the last few months into our library. 
PS.  It seems that the fresh flower post I wrote yesterday has created a bit of stir amongst readers from areas where it is hard to grow and buy fresh flowers/produce.  I am very lucky to live in a sub-tropical climate where flowers/foliage/fruit & vegetables are accessible and easy to grow.  I apologise if I have offended anybody with my post.  That certainly wasn't my intention.  I was purely stating my own personal preference and in my haste I didn't consider the circumstances of readers in remote/barren areas.

Natural Cane




We spent lots of time with my family on the weekend as it was my brother's birthday and birthdays in our family tend to be celebrated over a few days. 




Whilst at my parent's house this afternoon, I couldn't help noticing how beautiful the Stuart Membery cane chairs look with the older pieces of cane on their deck.  This is one of the chairs from Stuart's Home Collection above which we sell at Black & Spiro and when you look at it mixed with mum's old cane chairs as below, it looks like it has been part of her furniture collection for years.





I have been collecting a few of these old cane chairs {like mum's above} for our house which I have also mixed with Stuart's chairs on our verandahs.  I really love the look of this natural cane and I think it looks particularly nice mixed with Antique furniture and blue and white fabrics and china.

Crazy for Paisley.



I am totally mad crazy in love with paisley.  It never gets old to me and I can't seem to get enough.  
Enjoy, Heidi

                                                                     Lexington House
                               The greatest chair on the planet, A-M would agree with me, I'm sure.
The most fabulous rug, I ever laid eyes on.

A Polished Small Home.

Hard to believe this home is 640 square feet.  With carefully selected window treatment, moldings and ceiling color choices, Designer Barbara Pervier has mastered the art of  drawing the eye up to give a room a much grander feel.  I love the clean, polished, calm look she has created in her home.  Traditional with pretty collections and elegant antiques.  Did I mention that is feels so polished?  Enjoy, Heidi

Island Time

I ran away to the beach this past weekend.  After all of that working, I needed to LIVE.  Work to Live, not Live to work.  My new motto I learned from watching all of the Great Australian Oprah Episodes.  This is what was the difference between Americans and Aussies.  Americans Live to Work and Aussies Work to Live.  Any Who.  A beach house is in my future.  Here are a few ideas I am throwing around.  Enjoy, Heidi

Black & Spiro Today


This morning I pottered around my garden at home and collected a few flowering things for the shop. I arranged some pink bougainvillea and some native gum leaves in a couple of shell encrusted baskets I picked up in Bali a while ago. There's something so Summery and vibrant about bougainvillea and I do love it mixed in with a few classic blue and white ginger jars.



Above is one of a pair of amazing hand beaded African chairs we have in the shop at the moment. I think these chairs are a favourite of mine right now. To think of the work that goes into them...



We just received this gorgeous geometric patterned rug in today. The girls and I couldn't wait to put it in place under our bright orange coffee table in our front lounge room display. I think it has added so much colour to the shop...I just love it and I am very tempted to take it home!

Just thought you might like to see a few of the new things we have in at the moment.

Bedroom Bliss


I am loving this bedroom, mostly the pale blue and layout.  Notice the doorway on the left.  I can imagine a dreamy closet, chandelier included.  Perhaps a mirror wall on the back side of the white chest of draws.  Maybe the master bath is just beyond the closet or "Master Dressing Room".  This one is going into the dream house file for sure.  Enjoy, Heidi

Blue and White Bliss

Blue and White are the best friends of color.  I never seem to get tired of looking at rooms in the combination, especially when shells, bamboo and palms are added.  Enjoy, Heidi

Classic, timeless, comfortable, natural  and eclectic, all of which I am a fan.  I love how he uses antiques, bamboo, old books, sea shells, red, white, blue and black.  Baskets and wicker bottles, domes, palms, lilies, Ivy and ferns.  Nests and eggs, turtle shells and orchids.  I love the romance and the love of nature.  It's not trendy but timeless, as you can see that the last images are maybe 10 years old perhaps and look just as wonderful as the first images.  This is the look that best describes my design style.  Enjoy, Heidi
