Spotted recently in Living Etc.: The Melbourne residence of Diane Bergeron, an American textile designer who relocated to Australia with her husband and two children a while back. Bergeron's design philosophy—"If you stick to a neutral backdrop, shots of brights can boost new life into a space"—is on full display in her own home, a two-story, converted midcentury warehouse, with an office/showroom on the ground floor (Bergeron runs her own design studio, Diane Bergeron Interiors, and reps several lines of boutique fabrics). See the entire suite of photos at Living Etc.
