Any plans? Anything exciting? Or like me are you squeezing in house cleaning and grocery shopping between family and work commitments? I’m hoping that Kim takes photos of her new house and shares them with us. I’m so excited to see more. To encourage her here are two corners of my home today. Your turn Kim. Have a great weekend everyone!

I was wandering through instagram when one turn then another brought me out at the home of the Jersey Ice Cream Company. Here’s the thing. They do not actually make ice cream but their creations are just as delicious.

“Every space holds its own unique opportunities. Old houses are filled with secrets, little clues that lie hidden for years. The only thing better than rescuing them from layers of wallpaper, paint, and carpet is weaving those stories together with fresh ideas, creating spaces that feel new but instantly familiar. Though empty white boxes lack similar stories, they carry with them a certain sense of freedom. When a history doesn’t already exist, it’s ours to create.”

If they told me there was no room at the inn and I would have to sleep in the stables I’d be very, very happy. Just a glimpse into the historic 100-year-old stables building converted into an inner-city residence for an Auckland family by New Zealand architects RTA Studio.
