My inspiration for interior design came from my Father who was a designer and manufacturer of women's leather handbags.
I would watch him sketch a design and see it transform into a beautiful designer bag.
I have always loved collecting vintage pieces, restoring furniture and finding that perfect fabric to cover that chair. My passion is for creating beautiful spaces.
Doing what I love, I began interior decorating 25 years ago. To enhance my knowledge and skills I attended one of Sydney's premier design schools and achieved a distinction in Interior Design and Decoration.
Whilst I'm not into trends, some of my popular design concepts include the Hamptons and French Provincial styles.
My dream of running my own homewares business was realised when, with enormous help from my sister Jenny and niece Olivia, I opened Trouve at Terrigal on the Central Coast of NSW.
Along side Jenny my sister, now business partner, our Erina store over the past four years has truly grown. We are committed to bringing the highest quality furniture, homewares, clothing, and gifts to our customers.
We proudly support other Australian small business.
