There are sooooooo many elements that go into making beautiful curtains. You don't just choose a fabric, slap up some tracks and Bam! you're done! No no no, my friends, there's so much more. Of course there's choosing beautiful fabric but what style of curtain headings do you want? Do you want puddles (WTH are puddles, I hear you ask!!!), what decorative finishes would you like to include? And who can you get to do them? Press play for a thrilling episode on aaaaallllll the things you need to consider if curtains are at the top of your home-improvement to-do list! Please follow me on @sartorialinteriors to see what inspires me and pix from some of the lovely projects I get to work on!

E14 looks at the who, what, when, where and why of curtains. What are they? When do you use them? What are the advantages of curtains over other window treatments? Who can do them?

One of the products Jordan spoke about today was their gorgeous fireclay butlers sinks - did you know these are heat and chip resistant and even of they do get damaged, they can be repaired?

This Corona era is a weird time. It's unsettling, scary....and also fascinating. It's also a great opportunity to reflect. Not just on our lives and how we currently live, but how we'd like to live. It's a time to look at our homes.....make time to review our 'stuff' and declutter everything we can. This will not only make our homes feel fantastic but it will also free us to explode into life when these restrictions are lifted and tackle life with everything we've got! I discuss 8 decluttering tips and lessons to help you make the most out of this time. After way more than a decade doing the decluttering 'thing' I have definitely learnt a thing or two! If you're based in Sydney and you need help decluttering your home, guess what! I can help! Yep - I LOVE helping people declutter the hell out of their home! In a non-judgey, productive and even, fun session, we'll get through a pretty impressive area. And for listeners, there'll be a special offer available from https://www.declutteringqueen.com.au/single-post/2020/04/25/Simplifying-life-in-the-Corona-virus-era

Ever wanted to know more about feng shui? It's a fascinating area of the interiors world and Karen Kertesz from Emerald Space is so informative and charming - I just loved interviewing her! So much so, that I'll get her back for more! In today's episode, she provides a number of different tips that you can easily incorporate today into your home to help improve the chi in your space. For eg, in the bedroom, you might add warm colours that mean 'life' and to help you be more clear headed, declutter the things from your bedsides and chests of drawers! And the added benefit is that often by improving the feng shui in one area of our lives, it's like a domino effect and trickles down improving other facets too! How fab is that! I hope you enjoy listening to her as much as I did! For more info and other episodes, please visit https://www.sartorialinteriors.com.au/podcast And to learn more about Karen,www.emeraldspace.com.au

Sally McEwan is a lady with a lot of strings to her bow. She's a scientist, a firewoman, a mum and she rescues lots of animals. She's also a talented artist and over the last few years a mural artist. Just over a year ago she had a catastrophic surfing accident and the doctors told her she'd be a quadriplegic for life. She's proven them wrong! Not only has she regained the use of her limbs again, returned to work and to live at home, she's also returning to her passion of murals. Sally's story is incredibly inspiring. I hope you enjoy it! __________________________ Sally has generously offered listeners a pet portrait in pastels for $250 with promo code SARTORIAL.

Today I'm interviewing the very talented and serene Nicole Wilmot from Closely Knit. We speak about her beautiful homewares collection, what inspires her, and the importance of great customer service. Her aesthetic is a focus on texture and a considered use of colour. Layering and lushness are key. And she has kindly offered my audience a 15% discount using promo code FAMILY. I'd definitely recommend looking at her pom pom cushions, the cactus silk cushions and round rugs (just 3 of my fave products....but very hard to choose!).
