Covet my coffee table: with Tash Sefton from TheyAllHateUs

Today’s coffee table belongs to Tash Sefton, one half of the hugely succesful Sydney fashion blog, TheyAllHateUs.

“Our house is full of books, of mainly fashion and interiors, that I have collected from all my travels,” says the full-time blogger. “I love piling them up on hand to read. I currently have a pile at the base of my coffee table.

“I always have the latest magazines from overseas – my fave Vanity Fair, Vogue Paris and British Vogue. And I love having my personal items around me. Here are a few Chanel bags. They make me happy! I always have fresh flowers and candles from my friend Kirsten (Walker) who makes Palm Beach Collection.”

Tash was formerly a buyer and head of womenswear for a leading Australian fashion retailer. More often pictured looking effortlessly stylish in her signature ripped denim, she says the coffee table is the central part of her living room, often piled with toys when her sons use it as a play station! “We also use it as a dining table — we love sitting on the floor around it. Oh, and it’s my husband foot stool when he watches the TV!” We love a multi-functional piece!

Her tips for styling a coffee table? “Change it daily.”

Photos: The finished Palm Beach Apartment!

We put the finishing touches to the Interiors Addict/Nest Designs apartment project we’ve been working on last Thursday night to host opening drinks and reveal the transformation. Here are the photos you’ve been waiting for! We know many of you have been following its progress and the reality behind the scenes of a reno, but what everyone really wants to see are the after shots, let’s face it!

The living area

Emma Blomfield from Nest Designs did a fantastic job furnishing and styling the apartment and I think this living area shows how she nailed a coastal holiday apartment vibe without falling into dodgy, overly-beachy territory (I think we’ve all seen that on a weekend away)!

While there it was great to reference the stunning Palm Beach location here and there, she definitely got the balance just right. Do you agree?

Behind the scenes at the new look Palm Beach Collection candles shoot

A new look for Palm Beach Collection called for a new photoshoot at Manyara Home on Sydney’s northern beaches and Interiors Addict went behind the scenes.

Palm Beach Candles group shot

The Palm Beach Collection story started in 2009 when brother and sister duo Kirsten Walker and Mike Grey gave up their day jobs and combined their love for the ocean and Palm Beach to create the brand. Last month, Kirsten’s baby daughter Indigo got her first taste of the family business, “assisting” on the shoot (she’s so cute I think she probably should have been in it!).

The new collection was shot at Manyara Home in Newport and styled by its owner, Rouba Alamein, a friend of Kirsten’s. “We love working with Rouba because she is such a passionate person and has an incredible eye. She understands the Palm Beach Collection vision and as a retailer herself, knows exactly what we want from the shoot. We have very similar brand aesthetics and feel.”

Palm Beach Collection launches online store

Buying candles usually involves sticking your nose in a whole lot of jars and choosing your favourite smell! But if you already know your firm favourite, or you value the convenience of shopping online and delivery to your door, check out the new online store for Palm Beach Collection.

Their new Tahitian Mango candle just landed on my desk (gifted) and it is making me pretty hungry, I have to say…
