Bathroom...

Another bathroom shot and again we see the white on white theme with vintage fittings. From tiles to timber to porceline and linen, white is a perfect treatment for a small cottage. From time to time colour may be injected but usually its plain and simple, nothing more than it needs to be.

Kitchen progress...

A kitchen canopy, during design/construction stages. I rarely get the chance but when I do I love letting things evolve slowly. Here you can see the tile splash back comming together well after the timber cabinetry has been finished.

Room with a view...

A newly created vista from the kitchen to the rear sitting room. I love elongated views through doorways to other rooms, giving only a glimpse of what lies ahead.

Work in progress...

I love seeing each individual section of my Sassafras home come together. Small details appear weekly as I am inspired by a thought or vision. Here, an original fire place in one of the sitting rooms is given a facelift and it nears completion.

Desk top items...

Two more images from my studio, inspirational still lifes that appear on a day to day basis! So often unintentional... but perfect in so many ways! Textures, tones and colors that I find inspiational are often the foundation to a "look" in a new interior project. See more at http://www.justinbishop.com.au/

Desktop collections...

A snapshot of my studio desk this morning. With a collection of vintage glass doorhandles, an antique tape measure, marble samples and fabric, I unintentionally created this still life. The lighting was perfect as it reflected of the surfaces. Inspiring images like this stay with me and often reappear again in my work. Find more inspiration at http://www.justinbishop.com.au/

A beautiful room...

A beautiful room! Symmetry and clean lines, neutral tones and easy textures. A hint of glamour with an ornate chandelier, objet d'art and BOOKS, a welcome addition to any room.

My style is governed by many of these principles... my website justinbishop.com.au shows many examples of classic styling and harmonious design in my work. Obviously, it's a pleasure to work amongst beautiful things... I'm lucky enough to do this, often.

Inspiration Botanica

Another decoration inspiration - organic freshness and glamour, a great combination.

"Wedding Botanica", my first wedding fair event will feature this look; flowers and other plants used in a natural, relaxed way, combined with vintage treasures. Very romantic, very stylish!

"Wedding Botanica" October 10th-11th 2009. Email me for details, justin@justinbishop.com.au

Glass Lanterns

I love these glass jar lanterns, made for a friend as a table decoration that doubled as a place name card.

Ideas such as these are so inspiring. Often simple, organic and fresh, they are everything they should be, nothing more and nothing less!

We carried this theme through an entire event, very successful!
