Dark Floors and Potted Palms!

I love this house for it's dark floors and it's layout of furniture. The green chandelier is quite gorgeous also as well as the potted palm's placed around the outside of the lounge (we just love indoor potted palm trees here at Island Collections!). And if your keen this beautiful house is for sale in Mount Eliza on realestate. The gorgeous cushions and furnishings were from the clever girls at Mellow Canary Interiors also in Mount Eliza.


Hope your having a wonderful Easter!

Creating some Tropical Sunshine on a Grey Day!

 Creating some of the tropics in my coastal home this afternoon!

A gorgeous and vibrant image to enhance my colourful mood!

I tried to create a pocket of bright tropical colours in a corner of my home today and it did the job of cheering me up on this very grim and grey day on the Mornington Peninsula. It was a blah sky above all day today but it was nice and cosy inside! Snuggle up and keep cosy tonight!
Hope you have a great week. Take care.

Adding some Glamour to my Cockatoo lamp!

Black inlay frame from Island collections

I adore my Cockatoo lamp and this afternoon a had a bit a fun arranging some of my many bits and pieces around my Cockatoo lamp. I thought she needed a bit of glamour so I placed my coral coloured necklace around her neck which I got  from Sportsgirl a few weeks ago! (they also have a great range of scarves). Every time I wear it I get so many compliments and it was such an inexpensive piece. It adds such a pop of colour to any outfit.

Hope you had a great weekend and enjoy the coming week.

Flamingo Girls

We love Pink Flamingos!

Look at my vintage purchase for my new Coastal home!... A house warming present to myself!

We've always loved flamingos and I was so excited when I came across this retro vase the other week. I haven't had time to fill it with fresh cut flowers but a mini pink geranium fits the 'bill' perfectly for the moment. Hee hee!

Hope your enjoying your week.

My Coastal Home

 My bamboo display cabinet with my Inlay Box and Candle Cross from island collections.

My mini vignette displayed on my stunning decoupage Coral Tray from island collections.

 I took this photo collapsed on my sofa at the end of a very long day and finally my Turquoise Foo Dogs get a chance to sit proudly on their sideboard. Welcome home boys!

Well I'm finally in my Coastal Home and I think she's just beautiful. I'm such a very lucky girl! After three long years we are in and I couldn't be happier...and it was well worth the wait!
The move on the other hand was horrific! Saturday (moving day) couldn't be any hotter if it tried. I managed however to set up part of the lounge room...the rest of the house is controlled chaos!

Have a great Thursday!
