  • An oldie but a goodie. The temperature has dropped on the Gold Coast so I’m feeling this room right now. It’s giving me toasty warm feels #cedarandsuedehome 📷 @mindicooke || @michaelandcarlene @carleneduffy . . #cedarandsuede #cedarandsuedestyling #cedarandsuedehome #cedarandsuededesign #livingroom #homedesign #interiordesign #interiorstyling

  • Happy Mother’s Day, Mama’s. I was up early to do the @mdc_walk_run followed quickly by Paddy’s footy game and finally succumbing to a monster headache, I’ll be lying horizontal for the rest of the day. Here’s some bedroom inspo from our #QueenslanderProject that will inspire you to take a load off, too 💙#happymothersday || @carleneduffy @michaelandcarlene || 📷 @mindicooke and styled for shoot @sarahellisonstudio . #cedarandsuede #cedarandsuededesign #cedarandsuedehome #blackframedglass #cedarandsuedestyling #homedesign #blackframedshowerscreen #interiordesign #bedroomdesign #bedroominspo #bedroomcolours
  • One of our most frequently asked questions is who supplied our shower screen? Well it’s complex because we designed and project managed this, using a local welder to weld the aluminium and a local glass supplier for the glass which was cut to our measurements. I guess you could say there is no one supplier, which I can appreciate is very unhelpful if you’re trying to achieve this at home but that’s the short of it #notveryhelpful || @michaelandcarlene @cedarandsuede . . #cedarandsuede #cedarandsuededesign #cedarandsuedehome #blackframedglass #cedarandsuedestyling #homedesign #blackframedshowerscreen #interiordesign #bathroomdesign #bathroomstyling #heyaidlookatme

  • It’s difficult to define the style of our home which was always the plan; to keep it a little bit ambiguous so that it would always be malleable. We borrowed from a few different styles. The built in bench seats are undeniably mid century, a style I love but will never fully commit to because I lean to more layers and pattern than purist mid century modern permits. Case in point, the decorative style skirting adorning those very bench seats keeping the look on its toes☝️ @michaelandcarlene @carleneduffy . . . #michaelandcarlene #cedarandsuede #cedarandsuedehome #cedarandsuededesign #cedarandsuedestyling #homedesign #homestyling #livingroomrenovation #homerenovation #masterbedroom
