I want to live here.

I’ve loved this house ever since we featured the dining room way back in April. This time the photos are from another location company Dixcot Locations and more of this amazing house is revealed. I’d move in tomorrow if I could. Glamour, design classics, acrylic and quirky touches make this place just too cool. Even a lovely mature garden with a rusted antique bench. The whole place is wonderfully flamboyant and fabulous. London here I come. And if I can’t make it then at least I can revisit this favourite over and over here.

Love the work of Aussie photographer Lisa Cohen. Lisa specialises in interiors, food, lifestyle and still life photography. Dividing her time between Australia, London and New York, she shoots for magazines such as Vogue Living, Donna Hay, Gourmet Traveller, and Real Simple. Love her still life work. Fabulous ideas for displaying your collections even the most humble. As you can see from her work Lisa can capture the beauty in even the most mundane.

I love red!

Election results are in for Australia and all I can say is I love red. I have ever since my daddy told me my family stories. No political grandstanding. Time for a celebration of red!

Jo’s place

A quiet week here but I did finish my 70s light box side table with more of my vintage bus roll fabric. Still have to hang artwork, make the roman blinds for the window and put the finishing touches to my “cupboard office”. Almost there. Wish I had more time. Maybe I should blog less or quit my job? If only!

Dog on a chair apologies

Sorry to everyone facing an oncoming winter. It wasn’t very nice of me to flaunt my subtropical beaches. Here’s a wonderful Dalmatian on a Swan chair as an apology 😉

It’s Saturday here now and I off to vote in the national elections. I love voting, not just to exercise my democratic right but because most polling booths are in schools. What is so good about that? Fundraising cake stalls. Yum!
