Hi. My name is Chris and, along with my wife Julie, I run a small business specialising in Adirondack (or Cape Cod) chairs and other Hamptons inspired outdoor furniture. We need help with decorating the interior of our home so we're keen to read through previous posts to get some hints and ideas.

We live on half an acre in the Dandenong Ranges in a Victorian style home with our two children, aged 7 & 5. I also have a passion for architecture and love different house designs, especially period style. Running a business allows me to go to many trade fairs and I get access to many products, so if anyone needs any help sourcing anything, please contact me and I'll see what I can do.

Thank you

Chris

Welcome Chris, yay another Victorian:clapping::clapping:

I love the Dandenongs, such a gorgeous place to live but cold at this time of the year. Did you get any snow yesterday?

Hi Eli. The snow didn't come quiet low enough to reach us but there was some at Mt Dandenong and Olinda. A friend who works in land management was working in the forest only 100m up the hill from us and he spotted a light covering of fine powder on the ferns, so it got close!! I know Traralgon can get very cold. The winds can really whip around out there. Cheers, Chris.
