Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone - hope you are all enjoying the long weekend.  Thought I'd quickly post a little project that my girls put together this morning.  I was trying to convince them to paint the twigs white but they were keen to get outside and start building a cubby before the heavens opened!  I think it looks beautiful, they did a great job.  The eggs were purchased from the $2 shop and the 'faux' grass bunnies were from a local nursery.

The Tyabb Vintage Shed has a new stall called Foxy and Ginger which has been set-up by our gorgeous friend Taryn. She has the most amazing pieces and each section has been beautifully styled into a theme. We wish all the best. (I've already found a glass decanter and pearl spoons from her stall!)

There is so much to see and explore, and there is a cafe coming soon, which will add the finishing touch!

Have a wonderful and safe Easter everyone.

Time to start relaxing...It's nearly the weekend!

It may not be the weather in Melbourne for lounging in the pool, but I love that fact that she looks sooo relaxed. I know I won't be looking like her but I so want to feel like her this afternoon! I just love fridays, as we all do! so have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Houses In My Heart

I'm obessing over this interiors book at the moment. 'House in the My Heart' is a beautful collection of photos from designer Carleton Varney. His knowlegde and work in the area of interior design is extensive. The second photo is taken in his sons bathroom! I love the painted mural of banana leaves.
The third and fourth photo are taken from his home in St.Croix. I adore the bamboo four poster bed with a trompe l'oeil of giant palm leaves painted on the wall and how stunning is the "weathered ship's maidenhead" which was found on the island. Wow what a find!
Even though these photos were taken over "twenty" years ago, you can still take ideas and inspiration from them.

My Beach Home is Evolving

The weatherboards are flying on at the moment! I was helping or was it hindering over the weekend. And oh my it was a long way down when I was up the top of the scaffolding. We've tried to keep as much Ti-tree as possible. I love the way their trunks and branches intertwine and they appear to soften the sharp angels and surfaces of the house. Photo 1 shows our ye ever faithful dog Rastous!.... a white tradie dog isn't very dirt friendly!

Pastel Bedroom

Whats not to love with this gorgeous bedroom! It has all the elements that I adore, crisp white walls and accents of turquoise make this my dream bedroom. I love the way they have used the pastel yellow in the starfish cushions and the valance to inject a little warmth to the room. This room oozes 'Beach House' - fresh and simple!
