Time Flies When You’re Having Fun

Time Flies When You’re Having Fun

July 15, 2018 by Di Henshall

They say time flies when you’re having fun and my goodness half the year has passed by already and we aren’t quite sure where it’s gone. We have taken on various projects across different states and postcodes which will be keeping us busy throughout this last part of 2018. So, take a look at what has been going on in the lives of the Di Henshall Interior Design team.
Denfair Melbourne
The design team braved the cold and rainy weather and ventured down to Melbourne for the annual Denfair trade show – A place where designers get the warm and fuzzies finding new products and innovative ideas for our clients. Not a bad excuse to relish in the local fare either (Melbourne is a vegetarian’s dreamland)

Di’s trip to London and Amsterdam

Di had a very fast trip to the UK in May to attend the amazing Clerkenwell Design Week, where an entire suburb of inner-city London opens its collective design company doors to the design industry. Di clocked up 27,000 steps in one day, trudging through street after street of the latest innovative products. After a brief trip out of London to visit Hever Castle in Kent (childhood home of Anne Boleyn), Di took off to Amsterdam for a few days of fun with some very close friends. We all got to have some Dutch cheese when she got back – yes, she declared it! AND – one of our former designers, Claire, from Wales, caught up with Di in London (see second pic).
Why do you hire an interior designer?
Well, because interior designers are a magical bunch! Turning otherwise dark and tired spaces into light filled, invigorating spaces. Behold the allurement of good interior design below…

Feature in IN Noosa magazine
If you haven’t already, you should pop down to any good café or retail store in Noosa to pick up the latest issue of In Noosa magazine. We are featured across two pages in this issue, talking about one of our star New Zealand homes. I know that most of our wonderful clients and friends may be reading this newsletter 10,000kms away from Noosa, so if you would like us to send you a copy of the magazine all you have to do is ask and we will send you a copy. ?

  

Queensland Homes Feature
We’re trying not to repeat ourselves but we just really love this design project we completed in New Zealand last year. As it turns out, the magazine editors do too! The wonderful team at Queensland Homes has always kept an eye on our projects and have also published our latest New Zealand home in their last issue. Keep an eye on their next issue due in September where we have a local project featured this time.

We have been working on a couple of exciting projects in Brisbane which will be in a picture-perfect condition very shortly. By the next newsletter we will have some gorgeous photos to share with you on the projects.
Di is also about to embark on another architectural tour of northern Europe, so there’ll be more stories about that in our next newsletter to you.
Our repeat business remains at around 70%, which Di still finds amazing. She and all the team are so thankful and grateful for the support we get from our beloved clients, who have learned to trust our intuition and guidance with their businesses and homes.
Until next time,
Di Henshall & The Team

Di Henshall Interior Design

Award winning Australian Interior Designer - Sunshine Coast Interior Design

Kortnee Pomerenke

Role at DHID: Project Design Assistant

When did you join the team? December 2020

What you love the most about your job: Being in an industry where it’s always changing and evolving. I also appreciate working closely with a team that are likeminded and inspiring. Over time I also have grown a passion for sustainability paired with my appreciation for Interior Design.

If you weren’t working for DHID what would you be doing? I think I’d be still doing something creative and inspiring. On weekends I enjoy spending my time at nice places to eat & drink with family and friends or down at the beach lying in the sunshine with a good book.

Your secret talent: I think it would be that I always find myself creating/collecting samples and incorporating them into flat lays outside of work.

Rebecca Eggelton

Role at DHID: CAD Draftsman / Interior Designer

When did you join the team? December 2020

What you love the most about your job: Working in a vibrant and inspiring team that pushes the boundaries in design every day. Challenging myself and growing in an industry that I have been utterly obsessed with for as long as I can remember.

If you weren’t working for DHID what would you be doing? I am always looking for ways I can build my knowledge and immerse myself in anything design related, so I would be continuing to push myself in the industry and in my personal life to experience and create. I also have a passion for reading, love being with family and baking.

Your secret talent: I am dedicated to continuously improving my skills and knowledge so I would say my secret talent is that I’m very self-driven.

Rashida Daresalamwala

Role at DHID: Executive Assistant

When did you join the team? December 2020

What you love the most about your job: I enjoy supporting others and making a difference in a team environment. It is a quite challenging role for me as various new avenues are now open and there is so much to learn in this beautiful designing world. Every day brings a new challenge and a lot of variety.

If you weren’t working for DHID what would you be doing? I would be working in a service-related environment.

Your secret talent: I am a great cook and love organising.

Michelle Pass

Role at DHID: Administration / Project Assistant

When did you join the team? 2015

What you love the most about your job: Being involved with what goes on behind the scenes, how projects evolve from initial consultation to installation and all the excitement in between.

If you weren’t working for DHID what would you be doing? Sipping a cocktail on a deserted beach after winning Lotto.

Your secret talent: I have a few but I’m sure the one Di and the girls like the most is my love of cooking.

Natasha Lee

Role at DHID: Assistant to the Design and Administration Team

When did you join the team? 2020

What you love the most about your job: I love working with a wonderful, collaborative and creative team. Every day is unique in its challenges and allows me the opportunity to learn something new and exciting in an industry I am infatuated by.

If you weren’t working for DHID what would you be doing? I currently live and breathe interior design, so I would most likely be studying! I also love being in the garden, and playing with my beautiful new pup.

Your secret talent: I have an obsession with continuous improvement and organisation. I believe my secret talent is being able to see a process that could be performed better, then finding a way to make it more efficient.

Tia Rowed

Role at DHID: Design Assistant

When did you join the team? 2016

What you love the most about your job – I love the constant challenge of finding/sourcing products that are going to put the magic into a design. We source products from all over the world. I love the added challenge of putting design presentations together for clients, often with very short timeframes and sometimes seemingly impossible deadlines.

If you weren’t working for DHID what would you be doing? I would betravelling Europe or South America and maybe even studying overseas.

Your secret talent: I don’t get easily flustered and I think my secret talent is, regardless of what is going on around us, being able to keep everyone calm. I can put out an enormous workload, without looking too overwhelmed, a bit like a swan on the river.

Jaye Murtagh

Role at DHID: Design Coordinator

When did you join the team? 1995

Your secret talent: I secretly am the one that keeps Di grounded. I am practical and pragmatic, so I can talk Di through the pressures and challenges of our incredibly broad range of projects and clients’ wishes.

Sherry Faure

Role at DHID: Finance/ Administration Officer

When did you join the team? 2015

What you love the most about your job: Being organised and looking after the finances to the best of my ability for the company! Working in a very dynamic fast paced business helping with making clients dreams come true!

If you weren’t working for DHID what would you be doing? Lazing on a beach somewhere!!

Your secret talent: No secret talent although I love to cook and make people happy and put a smile on their dial!

Zoe Wallis

Role at DHID – Interior Designer

When did you join the team? 2017

What you love most about your job – Meeting clients, deciphering what they need/want to achieve and then working closely with Di to reach the ultimate design solution. Seeing our designs become a reality in a few short months is pretty thrilling.

If you weren’t working for DHID what would you be doing? Designing a mobile home to travel the world in.

Your secret talent: I have a naturally cheeky, effervescent personality, so I think my secret talent is the ability to make people see the lighter, funnier side of very challenging situations when they arise.
