Axel Vervoordt – I stumbled across Axel while trawling antique sites and have been a complete fan ever since. I managed to source his book, Timeless Interiors. These two images are from that book.
Axel is an antique dealer and collector based in Belgium. He hit the public radar with his magnificent display of recovered ming vases at the 1984 Antiques Fair in Paris.
This room has such a relaxed feel at the same time being very “done” if that makes sense. Uncluttered lines combined with the harmonious colour, it is well put together. The Hans vase housing the oversized fern branch on the antique Chinese console, I love the way it drapes itself across – eluding to that relaxed nature of the room.
I will continue to share pages that inspire.

I love timber and all it’s tones. It makes a room feel connected and calm.
I really like the combination of the natural elements used in this room. The linen sofa covers and cushion, mercury glass huricane, Kiva coffee table and lamp table in elm complimented with the forest wallpaper gives this room a contemporary, inviting feel.
For any enquiries on the Kiva range please call or email us.

Province was approached by the current owners of ‘Gainsborough’ to advise on the renovation, finishing and styling of their treasured property. Task completed this historic home opened it’s doors recently for a local heritage homes tour. We were delighted with the outcome as were the owners and the many visitors on the day.
‘Gainsborough’ was included in the Brisbane National Trust of Queensland’s “Dating your Home Guide” as an example of 1880′s architecture. The hallway features rough sawn timber boards and 1880′s English print dado filling and frieze wallpapers which were at the height of popularity at the time. Now displayed behind glass and representing both the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ the owners evidence their passion in combining provincial, modern and country styling.

Walking into a room and feeling a sense of calm and order. Objects strategically placed, yet does not feel contrived.
My Heart belongs to all things derived from the earth; linen, cotton, timber and of course flora. The organic element of the product brings with it a sense of belonging and I think that is what grounds a room and makes me feel relaxed in an instant.
These sneak peeks of an apartment in Albert Park defines effortless elegance.
Have a good week end.

Long time cross channel rivalry has been cast aside with the merging of these iconic items. The British Union Jack and the stylish and curvy French Commode.
Handsome and inspiring, brass hardware from top to toe and a wonderful aged patina puts this item on the top of everyone’s wish list.
