2013 marks the third year we’ve helped our shop-owner friends in Gastown get ready for the holidays in style: We design installations for their shops and they pay only the cost of materials. This year 40 volunteers helped bring the concepts to life – fellow designers, design students and a handful of people who just love to decorate for the holidays. To pass on the love a little further shoppers could enter to win win their own bit of Gastown – a 24″ birch bark and copper wreath.

One of our Louisville clients showed her sister what we had done for her Great Room with our Personal Shopper Service, and her sister said, “Do they travel?” The answer is “Absolutely!” When we arrived in the Windy City, we were absolutely blown away by the view and were excited to put the finishing touches on this High Rise condo. We worked with the homeowner’s existing furniture pieces (sofa, club chairs, and media console with towers) and added personality with accent furniture, accessories, lighting, and artwork. We opened up the seating area and made their beautiful rug more visible by selecting a sleek glass-topped coffee table. Accessories in a range of metal tones complement the existing furniture and rug. Oil canisters in pewter tones look fantastic on the coffee table. We added this concrete base lamp with square shade in between the club chairs. The white marble-topped two-tiered side table breaks up the dark leather of the club chairs. The countertops in the small galley kitchen are a grey blue, so we pulled that color into living space by selecting these great nesting tables with a blue soapstone top. We topped it with a metal lamp and organic white vases to soften the edges. The hallway prints and this beautiful blue watercolor pull the colors from the living space into the Entry. The homeowner was not fond of the existing media cabinet, but not anymore! We accessorized with varying metal tones and lots of texture that bring interest to an otherwise generic furniture piece.  With limited space, we made the most of views by placing our favorite marble writing desk in the bay window. We plan to add upholstered arm chairs on either end that can serve as dining chairs or extra seating for the living area. The important thing is to keep that view as open as possible. A big thanks to our Chicago client for having us up there to make her condo more of a home. Maybe we should change our motto to “Have paint deck & measuring tape, Will Travel!” Enjoy!

The intoxicating scent of David Austin English roses explodes in June and continues through the summer at the retail stores and condominiums that occupy the historic ‘Prince on Newbury’ street building. A lucky passerby will leave with a fragrant bouquet in hand when Garden Mates is trimming the roses! Soft as clouds, endless summer hydrangeas line the walkways enticing shoppers to stay and browse the shops. On the rooftop deck, colorful potted annuals with envious, bold colors, mock the threatening skies and the Boston skyline.

Our Gold Coast shopfitters created an outstanding cafe fitout for these small business owners. This being the second of two cafes, the owners of Kaffe Co. wanted something a little different to their original space, opening up the kitchen and front counter area to allow customers to see right into the kitchen and preparation spaces. The client’s hope for the fitout was to have all the space well utilised to allow for a full kitchen while catering for plenty of dine-in customers. The cafe design was all about creating an inviting and relaxing space for customers to sit and enjoy a meal on a break from shopping. Our Gold Coast shopfitters worked around many other builds happening in the new shopping centre at the time which called for a high level of organisation and some problem solving to ensure the smooth operation of the build. The cafe offers a clean, minimalistic style with polished concrete floors, Hamptons inspired white timber walls and a beautiful timber bench top – all finished off with on-trend copper light fixtures creating a comfortable and pleasant eatery for shoppers in the midst of a busy arena. The cafe owners are now all set with a fresh new look – a space ready to be filled with coffee aromas, delicious foods and plenty of chatter! Love this cafe fitout? Get in touch with our Hope Island shopfitters or call 1300 654 634 to find a Total Fitouts near you.

This bedroom combines clean lines, warm natural materials, and practical comfort to create a space that feels elevated without exceeding a real-world budget. Designed with first-time renters, young professionals, and value-conscious shoppers in mind, the room embraces a modern organic aesthetic with subtle mid-century influences. A warm wood bed frame with woven cane detailing serves as the focal point, while layered navy bedding adds depth and contrast against soft neutral walls. Natural textures, simple greenery, and personal touches like framed record artwork and an acoustic guitar create a relaxed, lived-in atmosphere that feels both stylish and approachable. At the center of the room is the Summit Mattress from Denver Mattress, offering dependable support and factory-direct value that aligns perfectly with the room's smart-spending philosophy. The result is a bedroom that proves thoughtful design and quality sleep don't require a luxury budget. This project is ideal for anyone furnishing a first apartment, upgrading a guest room, or creating a comfortable retreat that balances style, function, and value.
