Latest Interior Styling: Twice Upon a Time Vintage Boutique
concept to reality
A couple of years ago I had the pleasure of styling Clare’s beautiful vintage clothing boutique, then located in Islington NSW.
Recently they’ve upgraded to a double frontage shop in the newly-humming Newcastle Mall, and asked TN to wave the style wand once again:
With a fresh focus on vintage frocks imported from the USA, and the brief being simply “Girly” florals and pink seemed appropriate, but the task was to clear steer from becoming the Barbie Boutique!
Instead the interior reflects a tasteful nostalgia, wrapped in a pretty pink bow.
Adore the cluster of chandeliers centre stage, dripping with pearls…

Winter Window Styling, 3 ways…
Winter details at Rosie’s Closet above and below
I’m more of a Summer than a Winter person (hence my attraction to all things Coastal…) but recently I dived into creating some magical make-believe worlds of Winter for my usual line-up in The Junction of window displays:
At Scentsation it’s a tribal take on the season in rich tones that reflects their new-season fashion offerings from the likes of Camilla.
At Sanbah it’s a Scandi-inspired winter with raw woods, heavy knit crocheted homewares and pops of sunny yellow to ward off any gloom.
And finally at Rosie’s Closet it’s almost ‘Christmas in April’ as we go into the woods with rustic styling in emerald green and signal red, against a backdrop of a papercraft snowstorm.
Looking at the results I have to say maybe Winter isn’t that bad afterall… !

TN styling featured in Designer Boys Collections
With all the hype of TV’s The Block taking over the airwaves once more, it seems appropriate to mention our recent inclusion in Season 1’s Gav and Waz’s Designer Boys Collections, new season catalogue.
We adore their box-framed sea fan artworks, so organic and understated in style, and included them in the TN styling of 12 modern luxury cabins at Stockton Tourist Park.
Speaking of, that would be a perfect spot to relax this Easter long weekend… we hope you all have a wonderful time no matter where you are!

Autumn/Winter 2013 Trend Forecast for Westfield
TN illustrates each trend forecast as tactile moodboards, installed centre court at Westfield for shopper inspiration…
We were recently asked by style partner-in-crime Tanya Fogarty Design to get crafty and cut-and-paste together some moodboards to illustrate the coming season’s top fashion trends.
Each board demonstrates a style and shows how to get the look in both clothing as well as translating it into interiors of your home too. The finishing touch on each are tactile fabrics and trims to bring each concept into reality.
We were blown away by the final installation on easels, accompanied by a black-carpet runway to form a temporary mini-gallery centre court at Westfield Koatara. They form the part of TFD’s seasonal visual merchandising schemes throughout the centre for the next 3 months.
Psst, Stay tuned for more exciting Westfield Stylist news to unfold in coming weeks…
Autumn Windows cont.
A wall covered in organic fabric pieces suggests a warm winter landscape, as if made of luxurious silk scarves such as those sold within Scentsation.
This week Autumn window styling schemes continue to be unveiled, each one a unique take on the season ahead:
At Scentsation a luxurious design that captures warm, Autumnal tones in a fashionable way.
Neighbouring children’s retailer Rosie’s Closet takes the opposite approach with a rustic landscape of orange and apple trees ready for harvest.
Most coveted inclusion? TN’s handcrafted birdhouses made from vintage Golden Books. Fun!
Next week: the Autumn/Winter reveal includes Westfield trend forecasts…
