Inspire me Monday / Sibella Court

Happy Monday everyone!
Today I' going to share some very well known local talent with you...Sibella Court's style has been celebrated many times and for me the way she breaks and reinvents the decorating rules is always inspiring and refreshing...Her Sydney store The Society Inc. is filled with gorgeous and unique pieces. It's hard to ignore such wonderful individuality!
Here are some of her famous NY apartment pics.
Enjoy :)

As you know it's a busy time of the year for everyone including the children...
Everyone at my house is busy studying or preparing, we have a very full month ahead
Today my eldest daughter is starting her school certificate exams, they go for three days (until Wed)
On Thursday the school is running a workshop in which the girls will be discussing work and presentation of their work in their senior years (11 and 12).
Next Monday her year exams will commence, they will end on Nov 18.
The week after (21-24 Nov) she will be taking part in the Australian business week organised by her school and run by a professional consultant - the girls will be learning how to run their own business - they will be running a virtual cafe'. Sounds interesting, doesn't it?
My son is in his last year at primary school and this week we will be attending the information night at his new school, on the same night he will be meeting with his Head of House. Next week he will be going in for an orientation day which is a full school day (8am to 3pm). Very exciting! He is also preparing for his band presentation night next week and the end of year graduation, dinner dance and presentation day in two and three weeks. He will be also playing at the Carols on Dec 11 which is just going to be so lovely.
My youngest daughter Georgia is preparing for her Xmas play and other end of year concerts...they are so cute at that age, I just can't wait to see what they have prepared!

At work...things are a bit hectic, there's a lot going on! Plus our website will be (hopefully) finished in the next week or so, we just need to go through some text and photos...that might take today and tomorrow, we will see what happens

How about you?
What is going on in your world?

  2. Wow, you have a lot going on at the moment. It really is a busy time of year. Imagine what we would be doing if we didn't have children.....wouldn't life be boring?

  4. Does that mean that your eldest is in year 10 this year? Is that what the exams in year 10 are called, school certificate exams? (I will never understand why we have so many different systems of education in this country. My children have attended school in 3 states and it is all different!)

    Sounds like a big time - one ending primary and one starting senior years. Our house is heads down in study too - my eldest is in first year uni and my daughter is in year 12 so both are in the midst of exams. And my youngest is finishing primary school this year too. Plus my husband is studying his masters, so busily writing papers. I feel quite unstudious at the moment!

    Looking forard to seeing your new website + good luck with all the end of year activities. Virginia xx

  5. Hi Virginia,
    yes she is in year 10 and doing her school certificate - I agree that it is strange that the system is not the same in all of our states!
    It sounds like a lot of action in your home too...thanks for good luck wishes. Best of luck to you and your lot too.

  9. Hello Claudia:
    The apartments are most individual and showing a very distinctive style which appeals to us greatly. It would seem that you are having somewhat busy times and we do hope that all goes well for your daughter at her new school.

  10. I love the photo second from the top. I cross between liking minimalistic spaces to packed in environments. I think though I like an ecclecticly filled home because they just scream 'history' and 'interest'.

    Sounds like a busy family! Looking forward to see your website!

    Have a fabulous week ahead!
