Work with me
You don't need a big budget, or a whole house, to work with me. You don't need to know what you want, either — that's often the part I help with most. Whether it's one room that has never felt right, a single wall you're stuck on, or a house you'd like to grow into slowly, there's a way in below. Start small if you like. Most people do.
Everything I do begins the same way: with what's already there. We keep the pieces you own and love, work out what the room is missing, and add slowly and well — some of it from my collection, some I can find for you, some you'll pick up yourself. New is often necessary but let's not start there.
The Hour — $150
One room, one call, one honest opinion. Send me a few photos beforehand and we'll spend an hour on a video call talking through what I'd actually do: layout, colour, what to keep, what to let go. I follow up with a written plan and a shopping list to work from in your own time. It's the easiest place to start, and the least you can spend to get my eye on your problem.
Room Scheme — from $450 a room
A full plan for a single room, put together remotely: a scheme, a layout, and a list of exactly what to find — some from my collection, some I can source for you, some you'll track down yourself. You bring it to life in your own time, at your own pace. One round of changes included.
If you live with the inner Melbourne area I can come to you which is often easier and we can take measurements together and see how the room speaks to us. Working it out together — moving what you already have, agreeing colours, making the plan on the spot. There's nothing quite like being in the room. Further afield is available by arrangement.
Sourcing — by arrangement
The part I love most. You tell me what you're after — a dining table, a pair of lamps, the one piece you can't stop thinking about — and I find it: from the collection, through the trade, or on the next trip through Italy. It's charged as a fee agreed before I begin, so you always know where you stand. And it's the quiet advantage of working with me: I'm buying in Italy already, so I can keep an eye out for you while I'm there.
The whole house — by arrangement
For a bigger project, I'll take it from first idea to a considered scheme and specification, room by room. I draw the plan; you or your trades bring it to life. We can go as slowly as your budget likes — a room at a time isn't only fine, it's how I'd rather work.

Your consultation credit.
Whatever you spend on The Hour or a Room Scheme comes back to you. It's redeemable in full against anything you then buy from the collection, or have me source, on orders placed within 30 days. So if you go on to find something you love, the first step effectively costs you nothing.

How it works
1. Say hello. Tell me a little about the room and what isn't working. A few photos help.
2. We pick the right way in. An hour, a scheme, or a day — whatever suits the problem and the budget.
3. You get a plan you can act on — including a list of exactly what to find, and where.
4. Build it in your own time. All at once, or one good piece at a time. Anything on the list, I can find for you.
