these photos are beautiful.
I’ve never seen such an inviting interior of a trailer before until now!
Wow, not only are these the most beautiful textiles I have seen in a long time, the styling of these product shots is amazing! Great find!
I love the softness of these colors and patterns. Very soothing and feminine without being girly.
Wow, those are beautiful fabrics. And what GORGEOUS photography! Makes me want to move to NZ.
so lovely…..
Fabulous. Particularly love the lamp.
Beautiful fabrics! Yucky taxidermy.
Fresh photos, and great designs1
well done to the prop stylists!
LOVE the stylized red (and gold) flowers. don’t mind the deer, either!
i am in love with this fabric. they are so fresh and modern, but have a very classic feel. i am tempted to plaster my walls with them.
Ahh this stuff is just my style.
Gorgeous! Just looking at these textiles makes me want to drape everything in my house. What a great find.
LOVE these patterns and color palette!!! And the camper scene?!! SO cozy and fresh!
Well done, Leanne! :)
beautiful. love the artwork in the living room.
I find the dead deer a bit creepy – I didn’t know loving nature and minimizing environmental impact involves putting dead animals on display.
Love the camp trailer shot!
I love your blog. Sad but true. :D
The deer is a bit strong, but I do like the combination of colors and think that they blend well.
Thanks again. :)
Hi, Your blog is really cool. Nice colors and photographs. I really love it. I really love the trailer. :)
I love the fawn.. it’s exactly what I need.
Umm, I want to sprawl out on that chaise lounge.
gorgeous. any idea where I can find that swimsuit in the outdoor photo?
her home is so beautiful!
i can’t even get over how perfectly perfect everything is!!
the baby deer is darling – one of the most beautiful creatures in nature.
Fantastic to see some Kiwi designs up here. I’ve been loving this site for ages, but this is really just the icing on the cake!
It would be great to see some Tui (bird, not beer) fabric designs, Leanne.
*heart* Im loving how the fabric fits so well in the typical NZ batch and also in a modern viaduct apartment. Such felxible works of art!
Yikes… I love everything about it!!
Beautiful…I love your blog:))
your page is beautiful! i love it!
I want that mobile home!
Stuffed bambi? I’m slightly disturbed by this… though the textiles are pretty as any other you share with us, I don’t see how the designer is being particularly eco-conscious… Unless you’re going tell me I’ve been fooled and it’s not taxidermy, but rather a statue made of recycled materials ??? Bambi taxidermy makes me a little queasy.
what lovely fabric! So inspirational…..
Oh, I am so PROUD to be a New Zealander after seeing this WONDERFUL display of talent.
So often the “Kiwi Caravan” look can come accross tacky. This is pure class, LOVING YOUR WORK!
