MAISON MAGAZINE November 2015 Luxury, Property, Lifestyle | Page 2

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Welcome to the November edition of Barry Plant’s Maison magazine. It’s amazing how quickly the year has flown by! Summer holidays are creeping tantalisingly close - many of us lead hectic lives and taking time to put down our devices and relax is more crucial than ever. If you want to do something more than just lie on the beach this summer, wellness retreats are increasingly popular. With healthy food, meditation, fitness classes, and seriously luxurious accommodation on offer, they are the ultimate way to recharge your mind and body. Closer to home, you may not have considered the humble clock as a decorating weapon. Clocks come in a range of styles and can suit just about any space some advice for choosing the perfect one is on page four. Meanwhile, with the festive season about to hit and parties to plan, choosing a caterer is all important. The food is a vital component of any gathering, and Melbourne’s top caterers can create bespoke menus for every occasion imaginable. A guide to some of the very best is included in this edition. Finally, the remainder of the magazine is filled with a selection of the finest homes on the Melbourne market. We hope you find something to inspire you. Happy Reading! Untitled-2 2 22/10/2015 2:46 pm
