Pretty things

I was just looking at some photos of my Garden from only a month ago, and how things change so quickly. This afternoon I hope to get stuck into pruning my roses, buddleias and chrysanthemums and if I get time hedge my box hedges that are underneath my roses. Everything is looking a little sad, so that might just neaten things up a bit. I think I just saw a glimpse of sun out of the window, so now might be the time. Hope you are having a wonderful week.

Wallpaper... Anna Spiro for Porter's

How refreshing. Loving the Rosey Posey Trellis wallpaper in Pink, designed by Brisbane Interior Designer Anna Spiro for Porter's Paints. I also love her blog Absolutely Beautiful Things. Have a great weekend!

Quirky styling

Long time between posts. Not quite sure where the time has gone. We had a long weekend here this past weekend and I made a quick trip to IKEA (yes it is possible if you keep focused) and bought eight samla storage containers to store all of my daughter's baby clothes. I had them in nappy boxes in the laundry, but we were getting quite a collection and they weren't stacking neatly, so an intervention was needed. Amazing how an easy storage solution can brighten one's day. Our laundry is finally becoming a functional room instead of the room where we dump stuff. Hope you are having a great week. The pic should make you smile. A winking room. Clever styling.

J'adore... Red Door

I hope you are having a great weekend. I have a house full of sick people at the moment, so we have been laying low this weekend. By now you may already be aware of my love for red doors, so you can imagine my excitement when I spotted this fantastic image of a red door on the inside of the house. How striking up against the black, white and timber details. Fresh and inviting. Red doors on the outside look stunning, but how amazing does it look from the inside, I love it. It could be done with any of your favourite colours for that pop of interest.

Quick hello

I have had a sick little munchkin this week and so haven't achieved a lot... blog posts included, so this is a quick one just to say hello. I thought last night that I never shared the bunting I completed for our gorgeous friend little Lucy after mentioning I had bought the material a few months ago. My goodness time flies. It's June tomorrow! Enjoy the rest of your week. I have a Social Media course today. Should be fun. 

Inspiring rooms for little girls

I am in the process of turning my little girls's bedroom into a not so little girl's bedroom. Well, she is still a little girl, 2 and three months, but she is ready for a big girl's bed now. Time to pack up the cot and put it in storage until a one day, maybe not child number two comes along. Change table no longer needed and some clever toy storage is about to have a makeover. There is so much inspiration out there. I have shared some of my favourites. I love the bright whites with pops of raspberry and hot pink, red linen upholstered bed heads, chalkboard table tops and wrought iron beds.

Sweet little things

I just adore small gestures, kind words, a smile...  and I just had to share with you a sweet little gift I received on the weekend from a dear friend. A packet of double poppy seeds gracing a big pink bow. So thoughtful.
