House and Garden







I am very excited to say we have the cover story in the latest issue of House and Garden Magazine.
This beautiful Queenslander in the Brisbane suburb of Coorparoo is a classic that has been in the Watson family for many generations. Owner Cathy Watson called in the girls from Lily G, Melinda and Natalee, to work their magic to transform the interiors.
Like many recent empty nesters, Cathy and her husband found themselves finally living in their own space. Cathy saw it as a great opportunity to redecorate and do all those things you just don't get around to when you have a house full of teenagers.
Melinda and Natalee from Lily G chose a green, white and light blue palate and just simply re-worked some of Cathy's old furniture and modernised the house and its large verandas with white and green accessories.
It all works perfectly with the green and white garden.

    Oh, well done!!! They look as though they did a wonderful job in the styling department, though the house is altogether lovely, isn't it?

    It looks so light and fresh, I love it!

    Thank you so much for sharing. Your blog is gorgeous - so inspiring. I'm your new follower.
