A better shot of the tutu desk.



Me speaking to our guests and introducing Stuart Membery...I look like I'm about to fly off the hot pink stool I was standing on!!



The store front before our 170 guests arrived on Wednesday night.




Melanie with some of our guests






Are you getting bored yet of my photos??!! Sorry! Here are a few shots of our re-opening party. I have lots more but I didn't want to post photos of my clients just in case they were not happy to be seen on the blog. Anyway, I am now taking a few days off. It's been a very hectic couple of months and I feel like I need to spend a few days with my boys.

More Pictures






The back room which I have named the sunroom is proving to be a favourite amongst customers.


Above and below you can see the desk tutu which I designed for my office and my inspiration board too.





Melanie and I designed the lampshade wall light which has fabric both on the inside and outside and is suspended from a white painted bracket. This is in our new stairwell which leads from the shop to our design studio.


We now have a bedroom on display in the store as above.


Here are some more photos of the new store. I have a few more to come from my photographer which will be much nicer than these snaps I have taken so I'll post those when I get them. Thank you so much for all of your positive and kind comments. It certainly is a dream come true having the store look like this.

Black & Spiro Unveiled

















Last night we unveiled our new store to our beautiful clients and friends. It was an amazing night and I was just so proud of everything the girls and I have created and accomplished over the last few months. Here are a few pictures above but I'll share more with you over the coming days. I must say I am so exhausted yet so, so excited!

What's In My Pantry?




If you are at all interested in what I have in my pantry, then head over to Fashion Food Fatale HERE {I must admit, it's nothing glamorous!!}. Featuring stylish people from across the globe Elizabeth Clarke and Jane Walsh are the style gurus behind FFF. I have been enjoying their posts and musings on all things fashionable. I just wish my pantry looked as good as this one above but I have to tell you it is completely the opposite...shame on me!!

3 Days & Counting...


With only 3 days to go till our big Black & Spiro grand re-opening, I must say I am getting extremely excited about opening the doors again. Although it's been great operating the business upstairs in our new design studio, the girls and I have missed seeing our regular customers popping in. After what's been a crazy week, I've had a bit of spare time this morning to catch up on a few of my favourite blogs. I loved this image which Megan posted over at Beach Bungalow 8 of Krista Ewart's work as featured in House Beautiful.

Check back later this week to see lots of photos of the new store...

Seeing Red




I seem to spotting lots of red and white being used around the place at the moment. I love these red images above. Sorry my posts are going to be a bit sporadic over the next week whilst we complete the finishing touches to the new store.
