a little bit of kitchen lovely going on here...

glass fronted cupboards, open shelving, big wide kitchen bench, stacks of storage, streamlined appliances, a little stainless steel here and there...yummy!

French doors...I am officially in love with you! 

We have some lovely big windows in the rooms on either side of our front door. For a while now I've been thinking it would be great to (one day) convert them into French Doors - hello summery days opening out onto the front veranda, lovely breeze gently blowing in...mmmm....nice!

Kitchen Love

I'm still thinking kitchens, but have now downgraded to a kitchen makeover instead of a new kitchen...until the budget recovers from selling, buying, moving to a bigger house and landscaping! And considering it may be some time until our budget recovers, I've been searching out some kitchen remodelling inspiration. This one is really floating my boat at the moment! I'm loving that two tone colour scheme to the cupboards - so in love with that green! What a happy space to spend creative time in.

i'm obsessed with white at the moment...


white, white, white...white walls and ceilings

and because our house is quite dark on these gloomy rainy days i have a feeling that winter will be the test to see how we can do a few little tricks to get more light into our living spaces...

i think the easiest way is to paint white on white...

something like this...

how cute is little gem in Bondi

expect to see more white on white as i trawl for inspiration. lighting is also on my mind too...some well positioned down lights could work wonders here and there as well...

cosy little nooks for reading and relaxing and front entry impact : the front door

...i have both on my mind today 

our home was on the rental market for 3 years while we were living overseas. it's taken its toll and our place is in desperate need of a little TLC. although we have some major reno's on the cards, i'm not sure when they will go ahead (the quotes are just coming in...ouch!). so i'm thinking a mini makeover for a few areas including the front entry, front garden and back deck will do wonders for our home. i'm loving the soft colours and timbers in these pics.

Food for thought with a few pics for the home reno inspiration file today. I'm thinking decks, decks and more decks! When we open up the wall in our rumpus room (currently a rumpus room, hopefully one day soon to be the kitchen-living area) we plan on extending the deck to run the full length of the house and have a flow through, indoor meets outdoor living area feel to it. I can't wait and I plan on spending a large portion of my life out there!!

me and florence

I seem to have a bit of a thing for Florence Broadhurst at the moment. It all started with a cushion. While we wait for our shipping container to arrive from Germany, we have had to hire some furniture, bath towels, crockery, cutlery and bed linen. With our bed linen came...a Florence Broadhurst print cushion (I know, can you believe it!) and I LOVE it! Now I want more, more, more Florence...

the cushion that started my latest love affair

Florence Broadhurst

The more I read about Florence the more intrigued and fascinated I am. So now I'm off to get a copy of a book about her 'secret and extraordinary' life.

Have a look here for more of Florence's designs
