I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. We escaped to Daylesford which was so incredibly relaxing. Arrived home today and now browsing the sites for fresh new Summer interiors. I'm absolutely loving everything about Country Road's Summer Home collection. Pastels are rocking my world at the moment. I can't get enough. Just a few pieces can transform your home and freshen it up for the season ahead. Some of my favourites include the Abbi apple print, pink Art Canister and the Dante Stacking Boxes.<br />

I don't know anyone who isn't appreciative of stunning fresh flowers. I adore them... I have mentioned this before, but growing up and when I left home to go to uni, my mum used to say 'even when times are tight you should always spare enough change for a beautiful bunch of fresh flowers'. Love you mum. They completely lift your home and your spirits. A florist that I love to follow on Facebook, does this visually for me every day with their gorgeous posts. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/norwoodflowermarket/photos/" target="_blank">The Norwood Flower Market</a>. Every Thursday and Friday you can "Send a Little Love" and this week it is a stunning bunch of peonies beautifully wrapped. So, surprise someone you love with a fresh posy of flowers just because. It'll make their day. xx<br />

Loving everything about this living room...The sofa, large print, mirror and bedside table used as a coffee table with a little whimsical thrown in. Collating inspiration for our lounge room as I am slowly selling our furniture on gumtree and shuffling things around to make way for fresh new beginnings. Who knew decluttering was so addictive. xx<br />

Well, I have not laughed so hard in years. Class of '94 Reunion...we picked up like we left off... and laughed late into the night... hence a lazy Sunday today. My favourite. Hope you've had a wonderful weekend. xx<br />

This afternoon I'll be jumping in the car and driving back to my home town of Bordertown. It's my 20 year High School Reunion. The last 24 hours have been a bit of a revelation to me, you see I thought I was just going back to see my old school friends and catch up, but it seems that it is more than that for me. I'm trying to recall the last time I was 'home'... and I think it was when I was about 6 months pregnant, although I might be wrong. My memory of that time is all just a blur. That's now about 5 years ago. My brother died just over 5 years ago, and not long after that my parents moved to a house they had bought a few years earlier on the Fleurieu Peninsula to be closer to my sister-in-law and niece who were also grieving their devastating loss. A few months later the house I grew up in was up for rent and then eventually sold. So, this trip for me today will be a meaningful one, filled with memories of family, happiness, milestones, laughter and sadness. One that I need to do. xx<br />

This weekend we celebrated a milestone in our house... our 4yo daughter learned to ride her bike without training wheels. As I sit here MMSing the video I took of it to our family members I thought I should take some inspiration from little miss A and "get back on the bike" so to speak and "get back on the blog". </div>

I have been online tonight twiddling with the template as I feel it needed a bit of a refresh. It's been a while since I've delved into my creative side and I realise I've missed it. So bare with me while I make some changes on here, just know I'm having fun finding my way. xx</div>

Our 'one day renovation' is almost half way. Pics to come, I promise. I am now constantly on the lookout for interior inspiration, and this one caught my eye. Our living room up to this point has had a red theme to it, but I am wanting to mix things up a bit, and there's nothing better than a new space to work some magic. This pic from Home Beautiful mag is hitting the spot for me. That rug and sofa... yes please!! Have a great weekend. <br />

I love their simple yet thoughtful cards and could've shared them all. Here are a few of my favourites. Happy Valentine's Day. <br />

Flicking through a mag while on a mini break in <a href="http://www.southaustralia.com/info.aspx?id=9002638" target="_blank">Middleton</a> and I came across a picture of some quirky under bed storage options. On closer inspection I realised that the entire bedroom suite was made of cardboard... <a href="http://kartongroup.com.au/collections/sleeping/products/the-karton-bedroom" target="_blank">The Karton Bedroom</a> in fact. Very cool. Made in Germany you can get the bed, bedside tables and storage drawers for under $500 which, in bedroom furniture terms, is a bargain! And that's not all they do.... there's also <a href="http://kartongroup.com.au/products/the-karton-office" target="_blank">The Karton Office</a>, <a href="http://kartongroup.com.au/products/the-karton-archive" target="_blank">The Karton Wall</a>, and lots more. Not sure how practical they'd be for me at the rate I spill things, but I'm sure they've taken that into account and made them mighty tough. <br />

Boo! Did I surprise you with this? I know... been out of action somewhat. I received an email this week from <a href="https://thefamilylovetree.com.au/" target="_blank">The Family Love Tree</a> and it has filled me with excitement, to the point that I just had to share it. How delightful are these pieces of furniture from their range? Loving the summer pastels! My favourite would have to be the peach followed closely by mint. </div>

<br />
After a crazy busy month of pretty much just surviving, it was nice today to finally get a chance to relax and indulge in a bit of me time. Something I don't get too much of these days. Something I am sure you might be able to relate to as well. After a day like today I find myself contemplating life, (and my garden and pile of housework) and feeling keen to put it all back into perspective. One thing I think that goes missing when life gets busy is fun. It might be exercise (yes, when making the time, I do actually find this fun), movies, spending a day on the couch to do nothing because you can, seeing friends, laughing....<br />
Getting back to the simple things, I think it's about filling your day with at least one thing you are passionate about to take the mundane out of the everyday and bringing back some vitality and enthusiasm. So if you have a busy day ahead of you tomorrow, try and squeeze some of that into it. Call the friend you haven't had coffee with for ages, take flowers to your Mum just because, or step away from your desk and actually take that lunch break you are entitled to, buy a magazine and go and sit somewhere in the sun, read it and soak up some of the good life.<br />

It's been incredibly wet and cold here in the Adelaide Hills this weekend. I'm still fighting off a winter cold, but managed to have a wonderful girls night out last night staying at a funky new accommodation option right in the centre of the city. The Franklin Hotel on Franklin Street has had a make over. A fully renovated bar downstairs and upstairs is one of the funkiest boutique hotels I've come across. The owners certainly have an eye for detail. It's incredibly unique, decked out with recycled wares, modernly restored and all the mod cons. Highly highly recommend.<br />

It's quirky too, as you can see... I love that! The mini bar is included in the room rate plus a bag of goodies, which was just spot on when getting ready to head out. I feel like a cider... and chips... oh well there they are, have some. Don't mind if I do.<br />

I finally got the chance to check out a handful of new wine bars in town too. Some of them not so new, but new to me because I don't venture out much these days. I have to say my pick of them all was <a href="http://www.cantinasociale.com.au/" target="_blank">Cantina Sociale </a>on Sturt Street. If you didn't know it was there, well you wouldn't know it was there. Unobtrusive from the road and just quaint and exactly my kind of place. Bare brick walls, rustic corrugated iron ceilings, funky lighting, perfect nooks to sit with a beau, or larger spaces for a group of friends, quaint bar... and incredibly friendly and welcoming staff. Start a tab and order a tasting plate with your first wine. You can honestly just sit there for hours in good company. <br />
And so here I am... it's not even 7.30pm on a Sunday night and it's almost lights out for me. I did say I don't venture out much these days, and that is why. Haha. Have a great week! not the big thingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13050270806504037904noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780085365539303879.post-34014621857985178632013-07-04T19:30:00.000+09:302013-07-04T19:30:29.833+09:30Weekend<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's officially the weekend for me, so feeling slightly chilled tonight as I write this sipping a Coriole Reserve Chenin Blanc. I can't believe it has been almost a month since my last post. Crazy. It's been an interesting month, filled with love, happiness, work, friends, laughter, planning approval (yes... excited)... wine, movies, gardening, a cold, warm fires, frosty mornings and lots of carbs and cheese arrrhhhhh! Welcome to winter in the Adelaide Hills. <br />
Excited by the month ahead and what's in store. Also excited by another night in the city this weekend checking out some new wine bars (all in the name of research for the tv show I work for of course ;-)<br />
I am filled with inspiration and have lots of cool places and things to share with you that I have come across while filming for SALifeTV for Channel Seven. I promise I will.<br />

Ahhhh. So many decisions to make shortly, and for those who know me well know that most decisions I don't take lightly. I wish I was the 'fly by the seat of your pants' kind of gal. I am sometimes, but only that. We are getting to the pointy end of our extension plans now and I'd like to be as organised as I can be with regards to fit out, so hopefully it is a smooth process. I know I am about to learn a lot with this process. We've done renovations before, but nothing like this scale of project.<br />
So my dilemma lies with the bathroom and kitchen. I was all set to go modern, but my classic side is starting to creep in a little. Then enter my love of all things Scandinavian. Ahhhh. At the moment I am loving reproduction tiles like those shown in the above bathroom from <a href="http://www.jatanainteriors.com.au/" target="_blank">Jatana Interiors</a>. Stunning teamed with white subway tiles. A few more weekends flicking through magazines to come I think. Happy days.<br />

Hope you are having a good week. The weekend is near which means just over one more week and I am going to stay in the city for a girl's night with my best friend. It's funny how the little things you crave are simple things like time with special people, or alone time for that matter. I hope you are sneaking some of that in for yourself. Oh yeah, and the pic is completely unrelated but I love it. The stairs, the tiles and the pendant in the distance. Interior eye candy. Have a great day!<br />

After living in a small apartment close to the city for a number of years I am always intrigued to see what other people do in similar spaces (our place was nothing like this by any stretch of the imagination). A couple from LA, with the help of Parisian architects Flora de Gastines and Anne Geistdoerfer, have transformed this gorgeous 130m2 apartment in the Paris disctict of Saint-Germain des Prés with lots of colour. Loving the bench seat in the kitchen and that bath!<br />

Completely mesmerised by the eyes of Mr Brad Pitt today. Walking through David Jones in the city in my own world staring at the huge Chanel campaign image of Brad Pitt on display I narrowly missed another shopper browsing at jewellery across the other side. Focus Kelly focus! Makes me laugh though... it's the kind of thing I do. The weekend is near, and the Autumn sun is shining in Adelaide! <br />

Do you ever get excited for no apparent reason? I have got that feeling today. It's almost like something great is about to happen. A spring in my step. It could be the <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com.au/product/shaded/168/310/Lipstick/index.tmpl" target="_blank">Lady Bug red MAC lipstick</a> I bought Monday that I am wearing today. Red lippy always adds a boost, especially on a cool rainy day. Also when I got into work this morning, a lovely email from <a href="http://hardtofind./">hardto<em>f</em>ind.</a> greeted me with these striking blue and turquoise inspirations. A turquoise Gina handbag, stunning blue sofa with a <a href="https://www.hardtofind.com.au/store/asgerdesign" target="_blank">Danish</a> woollen throw and the <a href="https://www.hardtofind.com.au/store/iwishihadalittleshop" target="_blank">Winter Blizzard</a> necklace. Aren't they gorgeous?! Have a wonderful day!<br />
