12.01.2022 KITCHEN REVEAL UPDATE - it must be the most glamorous granny flat on the Coast! Some very unprofessional photos but I remembered to take some at least! I’m terrible at remembering to take memories of design jobs and this one is half way done so I’m impressed I’ve got a few bathrooms to do, master bed, curtains and cabinetry, furniture and paint job Sone before photos are included too

09.01.2022 Absolutely loved completing the reno of this gorgeous beach home - more images to come soon

08.01.2022 I often have people ask how best to frame my art prints...would you believe me if I told you these were all framed with $15 frames from Kmart? I completed this Palm Beach interior design job on a teeny tiny budget and I finished it off with my own art prints which were framed thanks to Kmart Australia #loveabargain #budgetmakeover #kmartloversunite

08.01.2022 Not only do I love creating beautiful interiors for clients but I paint artworks too - I’ve just got these wonderful frames at my Sanctuary Cove studio and they are wonderful for completing my creations - perfect for so many interior styles

06.01.2022 AFTER & BEFORE: Another lovely interior design clients home is nearly done...and I need to say this beautiful lady had been so trusting Resene ‘Tuna’ is the colour here and not many people would go along with me and say ‘yes, a blue kitchen sounds great Sandy’ But this client did Skylight, completely custom new kitchen and new furniture has transformed this space - so looking forward to organising the tiles for the splashback, lighting installed and seeing the master... bed extension completed! It’s been a joy to design With creative joy Sandy xxx

05.01.2022 I’ve just finished this wee new home outdoor project, so I thought to share It’s been such a while since I’ve posted, but it’s been a busy time and amongst it all I’ve moved home Here’s a bit of budget-friendly inspiration: Instead of selling this table for next to nothing, (it was in my old study and it had a fair bit of paint stains, the joys of being an artist!) I came across this clock without the hands, a perfect antidote! Clocks don’t just need to hang on a wall ... Clock face $10 Planter pot $7 Kmart Hydrangea $18 Bunnings Cushion drawn by me with a Sharpie $4 pair blank covers IKEA This was a very dull part of the backyard, but now I love looking out to it from my kitchen window - it’s the small things Now to draw another cushion cover and tackle the garden beds and those leaves!

04.01.2022 #cushionloversunite I’m combining my 15 years interior design background and my passion for cushions and art to paint these cushions The beautiful ladies from my painting workshop yesterday inspired me to complete these two I’ll be including these and a few more designs at the next Hope Island Marina Markets on Sunday 4th August (9am to 1pm) - I’m available to customise any design This was such a wonderful community event - I’m looking forward to meeting more locals soon

04.01.2022 Dive in and feel yourself ascend... I AM connected to the Divine and my Inner Light. These originally designed and intuitively painted artworks are my passion.... They work beautifully in a foyer, living, bed or dining space and evoke a sense of calm. This particular piece is all about the Crown Chakra (7th Chakra) and having feelings of being connected to the Divine and understanding that we are a spark of Source. I’m in the process of loading all the designs on my Calm Studio website, but there are a few to check out on there if you want a peek https://thecalmstudio.com.au/ Warm hugs Sandy xxx
