November 2015, By Nicole Langelier Sometimes when Blogging, things you never intended to reveal have a way of coming out. Through the process of writing and researching, little secrets and guilty pleasures you never intended to expose to the world bubble their way to the surface and burst onto the Internet. That brings me to

November 2015, By Nicole Langelier As a stylist and interior designer, I have seen many many properties of all shapes sizes and styles (some modest, some quite the opposite indeed…). I do however, believe that style is subjective and that if you love the way something looks – regardless of how other’s feel about it

Those of you who regularly read my blog will know that I am a fan of IKEA. This doesn’t mean that my home or the homes that I style and design look like an IKEA catalogue – quite the opposite in fact – IKEA in moderation blends with other more prestigious brands or vintage and

  Even though I have been in Australia for nearly 4 years and styling properties practically since I set foot on this red earth, I still find it hard to get my head around the fact that most properties in this country are sold under the hammer. My friends and family back in America can

I recently saw a hilarious ‘DIY’ meme on Facebook that read “Why buy it for $7 when you can make it yourself with $92 worth of craft supplies”. So true in most cases really, unless you are just repurposing what you already have. I am not a hoarder. Let me make that clear – but

They (whoever they are) say that ‘style’ can’t be taught – well I beg to differ. Style can be taught if you are willing to learn, and today I was honored to teach the first ever workshop – Styling 101 – at The Institute of Colour and Design’s (ISCD) brand new Melbourne location. The workshop
