June 7 Vignettes with 2014 interior designer of the year Greg Natale

In celebration of Greg Natale being crowned Belle Coco Republic Interior Designer of the Year this month, I asked him if he’d be so kind as to judge June’s 7 Vignettes and he said yes, hoorah! Even better, the prize is one of the very first signed copies of his book*, due out later this year and published by Hardie Grant (in time for you to put it on your Christmas list, in fact!). I’ve seen it, because I was lucky enough to help him with the words part, and it’s divine!

So, here’s your themes list. The fun starts this Sunday, 1 June. Please use the hashtag #7vignettes and hashtag @interiorsaddict and @gregnatale. It’s a great idea to follow him anyway if you want to be first to know about the book and for sneak peeks at his beautiful ongoing design work.

Some reasons behind the June themes are Republic Day (Festa della Repubblica) in Italy (and Greg’s also of Italian descent), the Queen’s official birthday, end of financial year, and the star sign Gemini (matching pair), which all fall this coming month. The others are just because!

All you need to know about 7 Vignettes and taking part can be found here. See you on Instagram on Sunday! We’ll be holding a 7 Vignettes event with Greg in Sydney towards the end of the year. Make sure you’re signed up to the newsletter to be first to know.

*You’ll receive the book as soon as it is comes out. Only Australian residents are eligible to win but we welcome entries, as ever, from across the world, just for fun!
