Wholehearted-Christmas-Lunch-3

November 28, 2024

A festive spread covers an outdoor table on a renovated Queenslander veranda. There are fresh flowers, citrus fruits and bunches of grapes, and a pitcher of sparkling punch. Wrought iron dining chairs surround the table and a rattan pendant light hangs above it.

We’re starting the year by sharing one of our favo We’re starting the year by sharing one of our favourite projects—our creative direction and styling for @zone1projects’ most recently completed home. Stanley is a beautifully considered private retreat, nestled within the Brisbane suburbs and brought to life through rich walnut timber, striking green marble and a sense of quiet luxury throughout. Grateful to have collaborated with such an amazing group of suppliers and creatives on a home this special!

That’s a wrap! Celebrating the year that was.... 2 That’s a wrap! Celebrating the year that was.... 2026 is going to be bringing a new look and level of creativity... not just for us... but for our clients too! We’ll be back on the 12th of January and all emails will be responded to then. Let the holidays begin!
Come along with us to our Studio Team Christmas Pa Come along with us to our Studio Team Christmas Party last night at the beautiful @alsahwaestate! It was the most beautiful location to celebrate an equally beautiful team of amazing women who have worked so hard behind-the-scenes this year! (And Lauren our artist in residence for 2025 who kept bringing snacks and good vibes to the studio!) I love you all… thanks for an amazing year. 🫶✨
A lot can happen in a single year—and this one wel A lot can happen in a single year—and this one well and truly proved it. This year we moved into our new studio, a space that has gradually evolved from four blank walls into something that feels unmistakably like home. We streamlined the way we manage projects, reshaping the way we work with the goal to serve our clients with even more clarity and care. And our work… it travelled far and wide! This year it found its way into The Design Files, Home Beautiful (more than once), Adore Magazine, Belle Magazine, The Local Project, a European book, and a constellation of online features. There were more belly laughs in the studio than any year before, and miraculously; I found a healthier balance between the business and my personal life. I took my first proper holiday in 12 years and managed to stay offline for most of it. (And came back refreshed with lots of ideas for our clients!) But the most meaningful change didn’t come from the usual accolades. It came from the everyday rhythm of steady work, from the gratitude expressed by our clients, and from the privilege of being trusted again and again to bring their projects to life. 2025 will forever feel like the year that set the tone for all the good still to come in the years ahead! Thanks for celebrating this with us on socials and telling your friends about us. Much love, Hayley
