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.

home : outdoor room inspiration

images via pinterest

We were planning on decking as the flooring option for our 'outdoor room'. It's only a small step down from the house to the courtyard and we thought we'd give it that flow-through kind of feel straight from the house to the outdoor area by putting in a low deck. It would be like and extension of living space and an extension of the timber flooring from inside to outside.

But now I'm focussing on paving. After a visit from the termite inspector yesterday who said "No, no, no! No way!" to adding decking to our house. We live too close to the bush and have too many trees around the house that attract termites - we don't want to invite them to eat our decking and then move on to feasting on our house! We could of-course just go ahead and put the decking in, but then we have very little air flow underneath - not a good thing to do as termites love a damp environment and it would also mean no easy access for our annual termite treatments.

Stupid termites have ruined my plans!! How can such a tiny creature have so much power over my house plans!

So now I'm sticking to paved options and searching for paved outdoor areas for inspiration. It will still look great I'm sure : )

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...
