A few weeks back -- just before jetting off across the world -- I was invited by Freedom Australia to pop down to the Moore Park store and style a living scene using pieces from the new Spring / Summer range. Now I could have picked the living space option, starting with a faux brick wall and a gorgeous lounge in-situ, but for so much as I wanted to live my dream of having a stylish living room (if only for an hour) I felt I should probably go for the dining space instead.
