Now once in a while we do like to share some of our BedNest secrets with you, we're not just about bedheads here, and the secret for today is pretty special.

Nest time you need a gift, any kind of gift, have a look at this gorgeous site www.oneforyouoneforme.com.au.

Not only is the range of fabulous gifts utterly fantastic but they also stock fashion and homewares so you can buy yourself a gift too! It's a beautifully designed website which has all those things that I think are so crucial when buying online...

• a simple uncluttered feel - tick
• easy navigation - tick
• top notch photography - tick
• an "inspiration" factor - tick
• a fabulously accessible style - tick
• a product range that hits the spot and more - tick

I just had to share with all BedNesters a photo of a stunning Bespoke BedNest bedhead that we made for a customer at the end of last year.

This style-savvy lady wanted to copy the bedhead Carrie had in her amazing NYC apartment in the SATC2 movie. We rose to the challenge and loved every minute - we even tracked down the EXACT same fabric as Carrie's, a gorgeous velvet cut out.

Here's the pic - just give us a buzz on 1300 637135 or email us if you'd like more details or for us to make one for you!

Happy New Year BedNesters.

I do hope 2012 brings you all happiness, health, fun and a gorgeous nest in which to lay your head each night!

It may be January and the big "go slow" in Sydney but here at BedNest HQ we've been anything but slow (although we did have a deliciously slow 2 weeks of holiday over Christmas). Our designs were launched just before that Santa man arrived and have taken off brilliantly. 

So for those who haven't been into the shop for a while here are some pics of our 3 new BedNest bedheads. We are totally in love with all 3 of course - which one's for you?

We were utterly thrilled to bits to be the subject of a 2 page article in the Herald Sun Melbourne's Home section on the weekend of 9th/10th July.
The lovely team at the Herald Sun interviewed me a while ago and I had hoped for a little editorial corner on a "what's new" page.
Little did I know that BedNest would be splashed in a riot of colour across 2 pages with lots of wonderful product and lifestyle shots and one slightly "iffy" photo of yours truly sprawled across a bed!
The article was so well-written and thorough and our Melbourne business has just gone crazy.

Thankyou, thankyou Herald Sun - for such fabulous publicity and for reminding me that I once had a waistline (now very pregnant with bub no 3!)!

When your week starts with emails in your inbox from two very happy customers, you know it's going to be a good one!
We had lots of bedheads being delivered over the weekend and I was thrilled to bits that two customers found the time to email me shots of their bedheads in situ.
I think both look fantastic and show how talented our customers are in turning their bedrooms into beautiful havens. I just wanted all BedNesters to see - maybe you'll get some inspiration?

We've been working on some fabulous projects using our Bespoke BedNest service recently.
This is where customers give us a brief to custom-design their own unique bedhead, often based on a photo, a sketch or a tear-sheet from a magazine. We source fabric and create the design according to the  brief here at BedNest HQ.

Here are a couple of images of recent projects....

At last, I'm delighted to let all BedNesters know that our beautiful valances and range of cushions are available to buy online.
Go and have a look here.

Our beautifully tailored valance is no ruffled, frilly monstrosity - it has very clean lines with corner pleats and optional side pleats and when purchased with any bedhead design it creates a streamlined, elegant look. Our range of gorgeous fabrics are all upholstery weight and highly durable so our valance will last you for years, way longer than a standard sheeting product.

BedNest cushions come in 3 shapes and are also available in all of our lovely fabrics.

1. The 60x60 square is made of feathers for a gorgeous soft and pillowy feel. These feathers are channelled (rather like a doona), however, to help hold the square shape. They have a 5cm border around the edge. Perfect for floor cushions, bed cushions, sofa cushions and window seats.

 We've been so fortunate with some amazing press coverage over recent months, but it's the editorial pic and feature in the latest Inside Out issue that really set my heart racing.
Inside Out is so revered in the industry for being design savvy and very cool and I just can't quite believe that they love the Florence as much as I do, and you do (still our best-seller).
Here's the feature for you in case you want to read in detail.

Inside Out Editorial Feature May 2011

The issue also features some amazing homes so well worth a read as always.

I don't know about you but, as a self-confessed interiors junkie as well as working in the industry, I have sites, shops and places that I love to visit regularly for inspiration and ideas. Often I just gawp at beautiful fabrics, pics of someone's stunning home renovation or get real ideas for a project I'm working on - other times I'm after specific info about a product - often it's just about pure relaxation, my way to unwind.
There's no doubt I've picked up some of the best hints, ideas and tips from blogs and some awesome, creative and thought-provoking interiors websites.
I've been meaning for ages to share a few of my favourite "destinations" both online and around Sydney. I'm sure you'll know some, hopefully you'll find something new and please, please let me know about your favourite places too....

 For today - some online places....
