Taking a breath between creative bursts is essential for fresh thinking, which is why we're pausing briefly mid-season. Don't worry—this isn't goodbye, but a moment to reset before returning with conversations featuring iconic designers and emerging voices who are reshaping how we think about spaces.

While we're away, Bree has opened bookings for her game-changing 90-minute design consultations. These focused sessions tackle your specific home challenges—from colour selection paralysis to furniture arrangement dilemmas—delivering personalised guidance without requiring a full-service commitment. You'll walk away with a comprehensive written report containing all her recommendations, giving you the confidence to move forward with your design decisions.

Color selection remains one of the most challenging aspects of creating a home you love, which is why Lauren is bringing back her popular Colour and Materials Masterclass on August 2nd. This intensive workshop demystifies color theory while providing practical steps for selecting harmonious paint palettes. Previous sessions sold out quickly, so secure your spot early if you're ready to master this essential design skill.

For design enthusiasts seeking deeper immersion, we're thrilled to announce our next Design Anatomy Tour to Paris and Milan. Limited to just eight participants, this exclusive experience offers unparalleled access to the beating heart of global design.

Speaker 1:

Hi everyone. Bree here with a quick check-in from Lauren and I. We're pressing pause for a short mid-season break just to catch our breath and reset, but we promise we'll be back really soon with more of the conversations you know and love. We've got some truly brilliant guests lined up think iconic designers, fresh voices and some unexpected perspectives on what's shaping design right now. We can't wait to bring you those episodes. We're also working on something really exciting behind the scenes, so listen to the end for the reveal on that.

Speaker 1:

Struggling to make decisions in your home. Maybe you're overwhelmed by options, second-guessing your style or living in a space that just doesn't feel right. That's exactly where a 90-minute design consult with me can make all the difference. In just one focused online session, we'll work through your key challenges, whether it's choosing colors, curating furniture, making sure the layout works or styling a space. It's tailored advice from me, one-on-one, and you'll receive a clear written report afterwards with everything we discussed, plus extra recommendations to move forward with confidence. No full service commitment, just expert help right when you need it. We are opening up bookings now, so head to the show notes to find out more.

Speaker 2:

I just love that, brie. Isn't it wild how much you managed to get done in those consultations. I want to talk to you about color. If you are kind of figuring out how to choose that green to go with that paint color and that floor, I've got you. I am running the color and materials masterclass again. It is happening on the 2nd of August and we are talking all about how color works as well as the practical steps to choose that perfect paint color, because having that information, that step-by-step process on how to choose a paint color, is so powerful. We're spending the day together with the coolest bunch of color enthusiasts and it truly makes the most fun day. Tickets are on sale now for this masterclass. Last time it sold out so quickly. I hope to see you there.

Speaker 1:

So what are we working on? Well, it's our next Design Anatomy Tour and, yes, we are heading back to Paris and Milan. We'll be opening spots really soon and if you've been thinking about joining us, now's the time to get on the wait list. We're keeping it small and super special just eight places, so make sure your name is on there. You'll find a link in the show notes, and thank you, as always, for listening, sharing and being part of this growing community. We appreciate every single one of you and we'll be back in your ears very soon.

Speaker 2:

We've got the utmost respect for the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. They're the OG custodians of this unceded land and its waters, where we set up shop, create and call home and come to you. From this podcast today, a big shout out to all of the amazing elders who have walked before us, those leading the way in the present and the emerging leaders who will carry the torch into the future. We're just lucky to be on this journey together.
