Black & Spiro Today

Along with stuffing lots of custom made cushion covers for client orders today, the girls and I have been enjoying opening up lots of boxes of new stock for the shop. One of my favourite new things is the small collection of colourful Chinese boxes we have which I took a photo of above. They are sitting on top of a new favourite fabric of ours which we will be hanging in our front showroom display in the coming weeks.

Nb. For all enquiries please email us info@blackandspiro.com.au

Table Linen

When our Straddie beach house was featured in Country Living magazine earlier this year we had a flood of emails enquiring about the tablecloth on our outdoor table as pictured above. Well, I am so thrilled to advise that we now have these tablecloths and matching napkins available at Black & Spiro and they are very reasonably priced. They also come in a really pretty yellow and white and a soft pink and white too. If anyone is still interested just email us info@blackandspiro.com.au

Loving Right Now

1. Stripes on the diagonal.

2. Iron railings painted white gloss.

For me it's the details which can make or break a project. The right details can turn something ordinary into something extroadinary. Here are a couple of details I am loving right now.

One Day

One day, I have vowed and declared to my husband and our son, we will have a house which we will paint pale pink with white trim, black gloss front door and black and white stripe awnings. Call me mad but I would just adore a pink house. I loved this house which was featured in a new favourite book - Rooms to Inspire in the Country by Annie Kelly. It seems to tick all my boxes except our house would definitely be smaller.

Tropical Style

We went over to our little beach cottage at Stradbroke Island on the weekend. We haven't been over to the house for a couple of months as things have been busy and the house has been heavily rented by holiday guests. I must say the weather was divine and we really did have the most relaxing weekend we have had in quite some time.

It was great to look through a few of my old books and magazines at the house. I was really inspired by these tropical style images I found in a few of my old Vogue Living magazines which I thought I would share with you. I for one am so excited that Summer is just around the corner....well on our side of the world that is!!

The Black & Spiro Website Is Here

Well as my mother always says, good things come to those who wait......

You have all waited so patiently and I am so thrilled to announce that just minutes ago the Black & Spiro website was launched. The portfolio will be updated regularly with new work as I finish each project so do keep watching the site as I am hoping to add new images within the next 4-6 weeks of some beautiful jobs I have been working on lately.

So, here it is http://www.blackandspiro.com.au/

I hope you enjoy the site.
