I agree with Catherine. I see more effort put into the design of a study/home office area than ever before. If my clients don't have the extra room to create a working space then we look at how they can incorporate a workspace into their living areas. I'm also finding that a lot of people don't have the time or expense to keep updating their interiors but instead are looking for timeless designs when it comes to furniture and kitchen/bathrooms. A space can be updated with accessories and art. Another trend I have seen is for more people to put more of themselves into their home design. I have seen so many homes that look exactly like showrooms or display houses (which some of them I can say are stunning but they all look the same) - however my Clients have said "well the designer told me this is what is on trend and that this is what homes look like'. And my Clients don't even like the end result! They just go with it because. People want their homes to stand out from their friends and neighbours and this can only be done with using the Clients personality tastefully.

Both my dogs are rescues, Coby Dog (JRT x corgi) came with his name and his recalls were too good to change it. The Macaroni Monster (JRT x mini foxie) came as Mac, but he was was a round little tube, so he became Macaroni and the Monster was added as he was the puppy from hell and he is still very determined.

Pandanus. We have a few in our yard.

what a gorgeous chair...look carefully all over the frame and inside the cushions to see if you can find a brand name to help narrow the search but a quick check on Google had chairs with similar arms called a Heron chair made in the 1950s but they has four legs...good luck with the search
