The Tabletop Project day 7: Nadine Bush of Jamie Durie

Christmas is all about gathering together for a feast with your favourite people. Sydney furniture makers Mark Tuckey asked seven of their favourite creatives to create a Christmas table (Some are glitzy, some are glam, some are just plain dotty) and we’re sharing one with you each day this week.

Nadine Bush is Group Creative Director at Jamie Durie. She used the Cavaletti dining table. “As a child, I loved to play under my family’s enormous dining table, turning it into a cubby by draping muslin mosquito netting over it (I grew up in Sri Lanka). My imagination would turn that cubby into anything my heart desired.

“This is what I wanted to capture with Mark Tuckey’s Cavaletti table. Just as much action takes place under a dining table as above it, in reality, and more so during the magical time of Christmas! No matter what your style this Christmas, it will always look good on or under a Mark Tuckey table.”

My garden-in-a-box balcony experiment

I’m not green fingered. It is a running joke at my house. If anything, I’d say I’m black fingered; fingers of DEATH even.

So when I heard about a new, easy garden-in-a-box product from Urban Gardenista (cool name) it really appealed. They deliver you all the plants you need to get your garden or balcony going (I wouldn’t know where to start with picking plants) and, due to the aforementioned black fingers affliction, I opted for succulents, the least easy to kill.

I only have a small balcony but it’s a nice sunny nook and sometimes I even work out there with my laptop. The doors from my living room onto the balcony are usually open so, if nothing else, the neat freak in me wanted it to look nice.

I was really excited when my plants arrived and they looked super healthy and came with instructions. Of course that’s not all you need. You also need pots and potting mix and maybe a trowel (as if, I just used my hands), so maybe think about having those ready too, so you can get started right away. My balcony looks so much better with some greenery (sorry, I neglected to take a before shot) and about a month on, I still haven’t killed anything!
