Grey days, heavy rain, raging waters and dark times in my part of the world. Perhaps some beauty from Australian photographer Sam McAdam. Simple, classic, inspiring. One of our premier editorial photographers. I want to wax lyrical about this portfolio but I have to rush. Water is rising. We are safe but my city is not. Keep us in your thoughts.

Jo, I've been thinking about you hoping you and Kelvin will be safe. Take care. It is frightening times. I couldn't even look at the pretty pictures.x
Glad to hear you, Kelvin and your new old home are safe. It's very sad what's happening up in your corner of the country... Best wishes X
these are perfect...but the blue bedroom has to be my fav.
Thanks for the post Jo. Really hope you will be safe in the floods, truly devasting what's happening. Take Care!
It's hard to think of anything else but this dreadful disaster isn't it? Very glad to hear that you, Kelvin and your new old house are safe.
Jo, I'm glad to hear you are OK. I was thinking of you as I watched the reports from Ipswich tonight. Take care.
Hi Jo, I'm a long time lurker and fan of the website. Have never posted before but I just wanted to say that I hope you and your family continue to be safe. Take care! (And I can't believe you're still posting - good on you)!
He makes all of these rooms breath and exude such subtle energy.

Jo,
Thank you for a particularly beautiful post today. Good thoughts from Canada for you and your fellow Aussies.
Love the storage area for the wood.

Glad you are safe...so hope the flooding quits soon!! Gorgeous images for my freezing cold, snowy NC day ~
Prayers, love and light for your continued safety
daily reader for months and months, but never posted. had to come out of the woodwork to say that you and your fam, town, and country are in my thoughts and prayer. fingers crossed for you, darling. (And your blog is fantastic, of course.)
I love the crates! I'm using them for storing in my house as well and they are such a beautiful addition!
Hi Jo
As a fellow Aussie who wakes up to your amazing blog with such gratitude each day, I am thinking of you and your family at this horrendous time. I am so glad you're OK.
My thoughts are with you and your family and my hope is that the rain stops and the waters subside. I have a sister in Brisbane so it's close to home for me too.x
Best wishes to you and your wonderful and beautiful country. Thanks for all you do.
Oh gosh, I'm so worried about Australia. I hope the water goes down soon and that the damage won't be too unimaginably tragic. Thank you for sharing these lovely, earthy home photos with us. Take care!
Stay safe Jo! I'm glad you aren't in one of the worst-hit areas.
Keep your spirit up Jo. The flood affected people and the wonderful emergency services and volunteers are never out of our thoughts during this dismal time in Australias history. If only we could send you sandbags.
stay safe xox
Hope you will be safe.Lovely blog and lovely post.Wishing you courage in this difficult time.
Jo-
I live in San Francisco and although this is my first post, your blog is always a highlight of my day. I have been thinking of your country, but especially you, your family, and friends. Great to hear you are all safe. Thank you for posting and I am hoping for the best.
I was wondering if that grey comforter with the white writing on it was actually sold in stores somewhere! I really like it and I'm hoping I can find something similar to that for my college apartment!!
Andie it's the Players Welcome quilt by Pony Rider here in Australia. Unfortunately it is sold out online.
Darn! I have been looking for something like that this whole summer! Do you know of anything that is similar? I love the wording on the comforter, if you come across something like that please let me know!! It would be greatly appreciated!
