It's Our 18th Birthday....
The House Of Hats just celebrated it’s 18th Birthday,
Never in my wildest dreams would I believe that i would have a successful business that I created from dust, let alone the journey The House Of Hats has had in it's 18 years.
From fashion editorials, tv shows and celebrities wearing my creations and two shops and a Showroom later, it's been a ride.
Fast forward 18 years and in the most beautiful showroom of my dreams that I created I can truly say that i'm blessed.
I absolutely love what I do and they say if you love what you do , you never work a day in your life...
Thank you to everyone who has supported my dream along the way, you don't go unrecognised, to all my amazing clients past & present.
I'm so excited to what the future holds for The House Of Hats!!
Heres to the dreams that come reality and to the future that holds endless possibilities.✨

Behind The Scenes of our new Showroom
Behind the scenes of The House Of Hats new showroom in Sydney Australia
We have been super busy designing and renovating our new space and creating our beautiful new showroom.
Before our renovation
We started off with a blank canvas in this victorian room with stunning marble fireplace and ornate ceiling as our feature.
Black Feature Wall
We wanted to stick with my logo colours , so went with a black feature wall around the fireplace and light green walls.
The theme for the room was inspired by the old victorian millinery shops back in the 1900s , we already had this antique timber mirror but we jazzed it up by painted it gold and how spectacular does it look .
We managed to find an incredible antique 1920s copper & glass shop display counter which was the perfect fit in the middle of the room and we also found a antique velvet chaise lounge at an estate sale that fits in with the theme perfectly.

We painted our wooden hat stands gold to match our feature mirror.
Our Gold Wooden Hat Stands
We designed the shelf layout and found a local carpenter that custom made a cupboard and timber shelves built on both wall for hat display and hat box storage.
Design for Shelves
Finished Timber Shelves
We are now just in the final stages of finishing and are just waiting on curtains and another cabinet to be painted and we will be finished,
Stay tuned for the final reveal.
