Megan Morton - stylist, author and  founder of creative hub The School - reveals her collecting philosophy (!) and a few of her current loves...

I collect: Anything that basically says 'I used to be on the good shelf in a French nuns' convent.'

The collecting bug bit me: As soon as I had my first pay check from Dolly magazine.



My first collection was: A bag of silk scarves from a deceased estate. I used to lie on my bed like Demi Moore à la Indecent Proposal, but instead of hundred dollar bills it was silk scarves!



My current obsession is: Seeing I am doing my two bathrooms at home, I am sniffing around for charming old bathroom and towel railings and fixtures. Intermixed with modern fittings, the new combination makes my heart beat faster.



The thing I most regret missing out on is: An incredible Klein blue corner basin with plug on chain from Izzi & Popo, Melbourne.



My favourite find is:  Old ping pong bats that I get Maybelle to write on and wall mount.
