While we come across many fabulous interiors of all shapes and sizes it’s not often that a head-turning boat crosses our desk.

Reclaim, reuse, repurpose. We’re not just talking about building furniture out of shipping pallets (almost a cliché itself […]
If we’re honest, when Justin Hemmes opens a new Sydney hospitality venture, we’re probably more interested in its design features than its culinary offering. Original, iconic and market-leading, Hemmes’ Merivale Sydney bars and restaurants are always defined by their fabulous interiors (oh, and the food and drinks too…). Coogee Pavilion Next Monday (7 March), Sydneysiders can […]
I can’t get enough of Sydney’s bar scene, and the latest offering by hospitality giant Merivale, J&M, is an intimate whisky bar that pays homage to where it all began. And I love it!

It’s a controversial statement, but hospitality interiors are my favourite. It probably has something to do with my obsession with food, but whatever the case, when it comes to trying out new eateries, making sure they not only serve good food, but look good doing it, is a number one priority.
