It’s our 10th birthday and I can’t wait to celebrate it with you!
There were many significant events in 2008. Quentin Bryce became the first female Governor-General of Australia; Baz Luhrmann’s epic film ‘Australia’ was released; the Apple iPhone launched and changed our lives (whether for good or bad I sometimes wonder.)
But ten years ago there was also something else in the works that was about to change my life (and only for the better!)
With an absolute passion for decorative fabrics, I had been running my interior decorating business for a number of years but grew increasingly frustrated by the lack of quality upholstered bedheads available. So, literally starting in the shed of our family farm, I set about creating my very own workshop and Heatherly Design Bedheads was born.
Today we create not just bedheads, but a wide range of high quality bedroom furniture with an extraordinary team of experienced upholsterers in our Melbourne workshop. We have two showrooms, in both Melbourne & Sydney, and I am so fortunate to have wonderful staff who work with me in the design office too.
In Chinese Horoscopes, the number ten resonates with confidence, independence, creativity, determination and success, all qualities that have led Heatherly Design to where it is today.
Over the next three months, we will be celebrating (and reminiscing over) the past ten years – from the first ten bedheads I designed to introducing ten of the Heatherly team and interviewing ten significant designers/stylists we have worked with over the years.
Most importantly, we couldn’t have done any of it without YOU. The support and love from our customers is what truly makes Heatherly Design.
Stay tuned on Sunday for an exciting birthday giveaway we are running throughout April and sign up to our mailing list to be the first to hear about lots of other great things we have planned over the coming months.
Recently, I met Lisa in Albury in transit on our way to QLD for our family holiday in July. Lisa had been inspired after reading Elk Accessories’ website where director Marnie Goding had blogged about her special Heatherly bedhead. I so enjoyed helping Lisa come up with her design, we just needed to deliver her order within a tight timeframe which I promised we’d …
The air was cooling outside but there was plenty of warmth in our Sydney Showroom last Wednesday evening for our event with Interior Stylist and Style Editor at Large of Belle Magazine, Steve Cordony. A celebration of all things interiors, guests were treated to some wonderful tips on how to add Winter Warmth to the …
Heatherly Design is famous for its bedroom furnishings, so what was I thinking venturing into the world of kitchen renovation? The kitchen had to go. The timber veneer had turned orange and the benchtops were begging to be replaced. Apart from all that, the space was completely wrong, with the position and orientation of the …
Milestones in life often lead us to reflect on our lives so far and with our 10th birthday celebrations now in full swing, I’m finding myself doing quite a bit of it myself! In preparation for our birthday, I spent much time looking through old photos and pondering what led me to feel so passionate …
