I must stop searching real estate sites particularly when I come across fabulous houses on fabulous blocks of land. This Sunshine Coast house is just a few hours north of where I sit and I think it’s love at first sight. Look at that view! The architect has wisely chosen to not compete with the spectacular site but to enhance it. The house is modern and seaside holiday tough but there are just enough luxuries and….that view! Can anyone lend me the money?
Please Sir may I have this house? And this garden? Especially the tulips. Eccentric, quirky, well loved and well worn. Historic, irreverent and down right British! I love this decorating style, part shambling 19th century digs, part inherited my great uncle’s furnishings with lashings of boarding school fun. OK I made that up but you must admit the Brits do this so well. Tiger print and tulips. Yes please!
I’m in love with the portfolio of photographer Penny Wincer. Lifestyle and kids what more could you want? OK so no kids featured here but don’t miss them on the website. Like these stunning images they are beautifully shot and have a sense of wonder to them. The light in Penny’s photos is wonderful and so crisp and clear. White rooms are notorious to capture well and these draw you right in.
WINKS – weekend links. Here we list what has come in during the week, things we’ve found and things we think you’ll want to see. If you’d like to see your blog or website featured email us and if we think it fits with our readers we’ll link you. So what’s in this week?
I love the “found object” vibe that is happening in the portfolio of stylist Tanya Goodwin. A collection of stones, a paint peeling wall left as is, tulips ribbon and old bottles. It’s quirky, fun and beautiful. Pieces in your home don’t have to cost a fortune. Careful consideration of the everyday can look just as lovely as an expensive vase or overpriced vignette. Great portfolio!
