Inspiring Flowers

Beautiful floral arrangements can make a room! The ones above would certainly catch your attention. I love bold arrangements that use large leaves and exotic flowers. There are plenty of talented florists in Sydney, where arrangements like these are readily available. If only you could get something like this here on the Central Coast!

This is a Stack Up

Just arrived from Italy - are these metal powdercoated vertical shelves. Capable of holding about 70 books, they are perfect for in tight spaces or just for something a bit different in a large space. They look great on their own, but at only $630 each you could easily group them for impact. We have 1 remaining in stock, but if you are patient we can order more.

New furniture

This may not strictly be a new chair, but we have covered the Ingrid chair from Jardan in a charcoal linen and added a black fringe for a completely different look. The simple shape of this chair lends itself to a host of environments and it is comfortable too. We have teamed it here with a Designers Guild wallpaper and cushions, plus a simple but striking curtain and a quirky mirror just for fun.

Here we have a stunning chair by Melbourne manufacturer Arthur G. This is the Benson chair covered in dyed cow hide. It is a large, masculine chair with strong architectural lines that are directly inspired by more traditional wing chairs. Come in to see it for yourself.

Artist in residence

New to the PHI showroom is a selection of beautiful works by Sydney artist Scott Petrie. His work is recognised internationally, and is admired in both residential and commercial spaces. Scott takes his inspiration from his travels - this piece 'forbidden Love' was inspired by his time spent in Morocco. You can see more of Scott's work at www.scottpetrieart.com or come in to our showroom.

Wahroonga Home

We completed this home at the end of '08 for a family of six after they returned from living in the U.K. This is the second home we have worked on for this family which is a lot more classic.

The powderoom is a study in brown. Beautiful Dark Emperodor marble, 'stringy' grasspaper & Luxe Ebony timber veneer

This quirky nest of 2 tables was designed as a practical and modern solution. The glass and steel contrast with the classic shape of the armchair which is covered in a modern cut velvet from Europe

You can see here that the colours were inspired by the Persian rug. The generous sofa is covered in a beautiful velvet from the U.S and the curtains are simply elegant in silk

The kitchen in this home is definitely the hub. The family can congregate around it - there are classic bentwood stools on the other side. The satin polyurethane in Dulux Linseed and Luxe Ebony timber veneer combine to create a contemporary and timeless look

The exterior hints at the classic direction inside. We designed the front door as a grand gesture which the builder made for the clients
