Nepotism Praise.

The latest issue of Home New Zealand magazine is out and according to the magazine staff, the most popular house in this issue is one designed by my architect sister, Amelia. Ah, praise indeed - well done sis! Check out the latest issue for the whole story or the blog here for the outtakes.

Home NZ Magazine

The October/November Home NZ magazine out now.

I've scanned the contents page of the magazine - that's our styling work!

A great photo of Amelia and Neil in their Living room.

The cool entertainment unit designed by Amelia (and styled by me!)

Remember my posting a while ago when I styled for my architect sister, Amelia and her hubby, Neil for an upcoming magazine shoot? Read it again here.

Well, the October/November Home NZ magazine is out now and it looks great. Here are some of photographs by Paul McCredie that made the pages - click on the photos to see them larger.

I also scanned in the contents page of the magazine as it is a close-up of our styling work. Very cool. Get your copy now...

My sister, Amelia is having her house photographed tomorrow for Home New Zealand magazine. So a couple of days ago, she booked in the two best interior stylists that she knows - Mum and me.
This afternoon, the three Minty girls got together and worked the place into stylish ship shape. Amelia has a beautiful home so it wasn't hard work - just locating and composing all the elements together. I don't want to give too much away from the magazine article so I only took close up photos of some of the details.
I will mention that the rustic looking skeleton on the shelf was a gift from me. I brought it back from Toto Santos, a small town in the Baja Penisula, Mexico. He looks great next to the two canvases by John Reynolds.
