The Studio Edit

Very soon after we I found out we were expecting (before I even shared the news with J), Pinterest boards were created , bookmark bars edited and shopping lists were made.

I knew I wanted to create a calming space…

for baby…to feel restful, to sleep, and to dream.

For me it had to be a peaceful place for us, be gender neutral with a connection to the sea. With the beach as my muse, we used soft greys, whites, timber, and layers of natural textures.

Recently I have been seduced by images of Bali. A different Bali…my kind of Bali. Luxury villas, organic materials, locally made homewares, texture, colour, raw interiors, outdoor showers, natural details.

Villa Saba 10 is just one place on my growing Bali stay list:
