OPENING A DOOR ON COLOUR...





We were chatting today about how huge colour is at the moment and it doesn't look like going away anytime soon either! It's funny because Elizabeth and I were always sneaking wild colours into our projects at design college a splash of yellow here a pink chair there etc etc... We love colour and try to encourage all of our family, friends and Ivy and Piper customers to embrace it to let loose and colour their worlds a little but are you brave enough???? One of my favourite ways to bring a little unexpected pop of colour into a clients home is to paint their front doors inside and out in a glossy bright shade. Nothing says hello like a beautiful bright front door...

WHAT A TURN OUT!


Phew... what a fun day we had on Saturday! We loved loading all of our remaining stock into the excited arms of some lovely customers!!! Imagine the look on our faces when there were actually people waiting at the door for us right on 10am. Thank you to all of the lovely IvP followers for braving the cold to scoop up their very own Ivy and Piper piece. One couple re-fitted their entire lounge room even the little ones were involved! We have now made way for our brand new look with the first installations happening this week. eeeeek oh how we love to decorate!

MODERN WOMAN: Behind the Scenes at Ivy and Piper


What a woman! Look at the multi-tasking skills at work! This is very much what our business meetings look like at the moment with Penelope our 9 week old darling in tow... She likes to be involved so when she is not in my arms she is in Elizabeth's! We even had an evening meeting this week while I was giving Penny her bath. Things are so busy here at IvP at the moment because we are working on some very special projects and hope to share them with you soon in the meantime Penny just has to tag along.
