Mediterranean Beauty

 I seem to be drawn to rustic country beauties of late, and this one is picture perfect. I'm not sure if this one inspires my decorating or stirs up my desire to retreat to the country...probably both.

An eclectic country house by the Mediterranean Sea with interior design by Mestre Paco ....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love all that stone...and the eclectic styling. Images from here

Have a lovely weekend.

A few days in the Hunter Valley

Last week my hubby & I were lucky enough to escape to the Hunter Valley for a few days (just the two of us...yay!!)...I have my Mum & Mum in law to thank for holding down the fort here. Can't thank you both enough for looking after the tiddly peeps!!

We try to get away, just the two of us, at least once a year for much needed time alone together. We hadn't been to the Hunter Valley for quite a few years and we fell absolutely in love with it. It's funny whenever we go away somewhere we find ourselves inspecting the realestate in the area and fantasizing about relocating. Does anyone else do this???

So here are a few highlights...

 

And if we ever have the opportunity to renew our vows, this is where we will do it...

Roberts restaurant is gorgeous, a little cottage that is so cozy and rustic on a beautiful property complete with vineyard and a chapel. And just up the road is Peppers Convent, I think we'll stay there next time...we'll have to start saving now though :) My favourite spot in Pokolbin I think!! Closely followed by Scarborough's vineyard (and their Chardonnay) lol.

 Have a Lovely day!!

Spanish home of my dreams

When I came across this beautiful home on the Spanish island of Formentera I had to share it. I would say it tops my list and is the most breathtaking home I have seen in some time. So totally secluded, tranquil and rustic. I hope you enjoy....

Absolutely divine huh...I think the pictures speak for themselves...no need to go on really.

New Artwork - Watercolour Bokeh

I have finished a new artwork that I called "Watercolour Bokeh". I love the bokeh photography bluring effect used on lights and water, it inspired me to create my own version of bokeh using watercolour dots.....

I went a bit nuts with the colour options, but every colour combo I did just looked so good I couldn't choose between them....so I have included them all in my online shop and catalog.

 

And...if you need more colour variety I am adding this artwork to my custom colour range. Which means you can choose your own colour scheme!!!

Would love to know what you think.

Have a lovely day,

My home office

Last week we got organised and hit the road to Ikea to find something to partition our "formal" lounge room so that my hubby could have his very own music room & I could have the study all to myself. So I am please to inform you the partition is set up (but not yet finished as Ikea was out of stock of a few things) and all of Greg's music gear is now living in the "music room" and I have the study all to myself...yay!!

Now I am faced with the exciting job of how to reorganise the study...if Greg had his way it would already be done, but I don't like to rush these things. It takes time to plan especially when your budget is next to naught!

So in my search for inspiration there are a few things I decided I definately need...

A way of organising my paperwork, orders and receipts etc. I love this clipboard idea because I need things to be in front of my face or I just seem to forget about them, or they get lost under my piles of paper.

 I also love this inspiration board, the small one I have is so over crowded that I can't see anything properly...an up size is in order. This is much neater than mine will be though.

Funnily enough my study looks kinda like this...the same double doors and probably similar room size. But I don't have all of that gorgeous white furniture, and I need a little more storage, but I like the placement of the desk!

Now this office has organised written all over it, I love the storage and the styling, and it is still very practical and functional, I just don't think I could keep it looking like this...

Image from here

So I think another trip to Ikea is in order for a few storage bits and pieces. Hopefully I will get it done soon and I will post the photo's when it's done!

Have a lovely day.
