Moonlight Cinema/Glamping/Scoring mum points ala lockdown aka if I don’t keep them occupied, ima gonna drown myself 😂

Happy Easter! Layers of pastel skyline and moon shining like a champ to get the day started.

Santa, I just found a gift that fulfils perfection and synergy for my love of all iconic ‘wog’ paraphernalia- reminiscent of my greek upbringing, playing tavli with my dad, passive smoking and swigging a few sips of beer, as well as clever design in of all materials, Perspex - which I have an almost naughty penchant for... especially neon). @sunnylifeaustralia Backgammon set. We thank you!

And the cinema room...aka kids domain. Lucky little ladies!

One of my favourite projects, and the clients were even more gorgeous that this breathtaking residence.

En-suite floor, check ✔️No comparison to @patricia_urquiola period. Her bespoke tile collection is no exception. It’s been on my personal ‘must specify’ list. The Dechirer decor tile in Noir from @urbanedgeceramics is going to grace tmy home. A contrast to the calacatta marble vanity and white linear tiles, this tonal large scale floor tile is tactile and textural, yet soft and maintains the balance of finishes. Lace has been embossed on the tiles giving them a gentle sculptural feel. I opted for the 1200x600 for minimal grout joins, and will use an epoxy grout as this doesn’t oxidise. Getting laid on Monday (that’s what she said... jokes)..Will share the finished product.

First and last time I sew Mila an outfit for Halloween, as per her request - and to clarify, no disrespect would ever be intended to the Native American people. As a 6 year old, who has been explained the atrocities endured for too long, her innocent mind believes their traditional attire is beautiful so wanted to celebrate that. I hope this does not offend anyone, as there is no malice behind the outfit. Nonetheless, she was pretty impressed with my diy efforts so It was worth the profanities that were unleashed mid construction. I’ll still with homes I think!

What a special gift for someone spesh or in my case, gift to self with personalised love notes to my two little angels. @lelabofragrances customises your ridiculously hypnotic candles. Zoom in to see ‘Joey’ and ‘Mila’ on mine. Thanks to the gorgeous ladies the Bondi, Sydney store for being so lovely. Also, CADE 26 is a limited release concocted for the @gramercyparkhotel in NYC; it’s insane. Bonus, once the candles are finished after 60 hrs, you have yourself some perfect negroni or whiskey glasses! If you’re not in Sydney, @meccacosmetica also stocks Le Labo fragrances and candles also. Incredible quality and an amazing brand story.

When you’re looking for snowboarding accommodation and accidentally buy into a lodge instead. Hard work pays off... this is the best gift I’ll ever buy for my little ones... and also for myself. #bestsharedwithkindredspirits #chasethesnow

Paradise was just what the doctor literally ordered... Back to work now - Glen Iris and Sandringham bound. Lots to share soon, as well as our completed Parigian Beach project from last year which came up a treat! Stay warm friends. -BW

Sad to hear of Kate Spade’s passing, who was New York’s sweetheart, an American and international household name in aspirational and accessible women’s fashion. Her signature style celebrating colour and a tasteful whimsy, carried through, to her ‘chat provoking’ statement pieces for the home. Sadly life is not always colourful and fun as we all have felt or experienced in some capacity. She leaves behind an intimate legacy through her life’s work and beautiful daughter amongst countless others. Let’s eat some cake for Kate today, and note to ourselves, why not call or visit those we love or not even, just to see how they are. #RIP #ripkatespade #katespade #katespadenewyork #katespade #areyouok? #reachout #yourenotalone

How much can happen in 3 weeks... Perspective is a bittersweet confusing enigma. Nonetheless I wanted to give a huge retrospective thank you to @generalpublicmelbourne, Dingley, for firstly facilitating a brilliant day for our Mila’s 6th Birthday, and finally actualising a venue, I believe every parent who’s entered a kids play centre has fantasised about. Bowling, on-point arcade, billiard tables, table tennis, fabulous food and a fully licensed bar/beer garden with all the trimmings and great staff. With 16 overexcited little people and their parents, the booze was a welcome guest at the table! Whether you have kids or are one, I highly recommend it. Big thanks to @theicingartist for Mila’s specially requested Unicorn Guinea Pig cake - Because an already mythical magical creature wasn’t impressive enough. Embarrassingly amateur frantic styling by me and a double @fourpillarsgin, courtesy of @kmartaus, @bigwaustralia and @therejectshop.
