OK soooo in case you missed it (highly unlikely) I am just writing one last little post to remind you all that The Design Files Open House 2013 is officially open today in Hawthorn, Melbourne - Woohoo, we got there!
After an epic few months of preparation, and a super busy week bumping in, we are SO pumped to throw open the doors today and share this very special project with you all! If you’re in Melbourne please do pop down and pay us a visit! We're open today for four days, 10.00am - 5.00pm everyday until this Sunday Nov 24th.
Andddd... if you need a little further encouragement, we thought we’d share a little sneak peek today! These beautiful shots were captured yesterday by Brooke Holm, and there are also some cute social pics from our opening night event last night. Thankyou Brooke for the epic turnaround on these shots! Please forgive the lack of captioning on the social shots in the image gallery... there are 82 shots and so many faces - you know who you are!

ENORMOUS THANKS once again to our Major Event Sponsors – Jardan, Mini, Dulux, Country Road and Petaluma! We are so grateful for their support of this project! Also huge thanks to all the amazing artists, designers, local businesses and friends who have participated and supported this crazy venture once again this year - especially Cookes Food who cooked up a storm for our opening event last night, and Melanie at Cecilia Fox for our beautiful flowers, and Esther at The Project Agency, the most INCREDIBLE publicist and event manager any client could wish for.
A special thanks is in order also to our most excellent team, especially the bump in crew who have worked tirelessly over the last few weeks to pull this thing off - Mel D'Alessandro, Jen Booth, Marni Kornhauser, Sean Dennis, Huw Smith, my talented fella Gordon Johnson, my wonderful Mum, and the AMAZING Lisa Marie Corso (words cannot express her energy, enthusiasm and work ethic, honestly, Lisa, I love you!). Thankyou ALL for the hours you have all put in this week - GO TEAM!

Bursting with excitement to come and check this out on Sunday. Can’t wait!
Hi Lucy,
Congrats! It looks absolutely wonderful!
Love the photo of you and Jen having a big hug (and Pili looking on!) and I LOVE your Mum’s jacket (in fact I think I just love your Mum! And her big wave across the room!).
I hope you are able to enjoy yourself over the next few days.

We were completely blown away with the turnout on day 1, and we’re super pumped for the rest of the weekend…! Thankyou ALL for making this project a success every year, and an event to remember! We couldn’t do it with you.
Best. Readers. Ever! xxx
Looks amazing. Congratulations and thank you for the inspiration.
Insanely impressive Lucy. Well done to you and your team, you’re an inspiration!
It looks so amazing Lucy and Co! Congratulations! I can’t wait to see the Sydney version.
Can’t wait for the Sydney event… yay!
stunning transformation, we adored the outdoor area. Especially the pool!! would it be possible to get dimensions and some more pics?? after seeing this we want one.
All looks too wonderful. When do we get the address for the Sydney Open House…. can’t wait.
This is SO beautiful! You should be unbelievably proud and satisfied with your work.
Congratulations Lucy & your talented team, the house looks incredible! Im so sad I cant get there to see it :( Looking forward to viewing the Sydney version. Well done on your your hard work & efforts!
My Heart is flashing colours of Pink for how beautiful everything looks! WOW!! I could not make it this year and I was wondering if you could send me a copy of the entry booklet you always have at the door? I collect them and it would add to my collection especially as I missed this year? Thank you for bringing positive colour and beauty into your world! :)
If this is possible I will provide mailing address in a separate email,
Love it. Elegant but it brings the funk too. And the design profile has a truly authentic contemporary Australian-ness to it. Cannot wait for Sydney. But why, aside from the Sol lamp in the bedroom, are there no lamps? Perhaps they just didn’t make it into shot?
