Helen Crowther

I love these rooms that are part of the portfolio of stylist Helen Crowther. Happy, simple, real, inspiring. Doesn't Heather have a great eye!

Sidsel Zachariassen

I'd like to introduce you to Sidsel Zachariassen, a stylist from Denmark. One thing I was able to read on her website was that she's worked for magazines such as Bo Bedre, Bolig Magasinet, Elle Decoration and Interior Design. Love the cheeky artwork in some of these photos.

Shannon Fricke and her Sense of Style

A little while ago I featured a photographer, Prue Ruscoe whose work I adore. My favourite pictures of Prue's appear in one of my favourite books, A Sense of Style. Colour, by Shannon Fricke, interior stylist, TV presenter and now regular contributor to Inside Out. My copy is well worn and well used. Shannon was kind enough to email thanking me for mentioning her book and with the news that she has a new book, Sense of Style. Space. These are the images she sent to share. In her first book she explores the world of colour, revelling in it's cheekiness and life enriching beauty. Her books, while informative, are joyous celebrations of life, style and lifestyle. Each is a feast for the eyes with glorious photos of homes, mood boards and vignettes styled by Shannon. Her new book takes us on a journey through space, sacred, personal, transitional and functional spaces. Once again her insightful holistic approach is matched by Prue's stunning photographs. If you find her books I know they will become well used sources of inspiration. Both books can be found readily in Australian bookstores and here. Unfortunately both are not yet available in America but that's what online ordering is for!

P.S. Thank you so much for the copy of the new book Shannon. It's gorgeous from cover to cover!

Finola Inger

When I came across Finola Inger's website, I was so envious of her career as a stylist. To have access to such gorgeous items, and to display them in such a way that they photograph so beautifully. She's had 9 years of experience, has worked for Elle Decoration and dabbled in trend prediction, art direction, interior design and shop design. Her talent is evident in these photos.
