It’s amazing what a really good photographer can do to an already wonderful space. We’ve shared this beach house at MacMasters Beach on the NSW North Coast with you last year. The Villa & Villa design duo (Maria and Eduardo Villa) are the architects and interior designers. Publicist Jacqui Lewis emailed to share the latest pictures of it by photographer Anson Smart. Wow! Fabulous. I loved this house before and now I love it even more. Not only different views but Anson has injected such personality into the space all through his lens. A perfect house just became even more enticing!

Keep an eye out tomorrow for another exciting Villa & Villa project captured by Anson Smart. And you can see our posts on Anson here and here.

Remember this? Roeschel’s living room was part of our DIY+ e-design consultation with interior designer Jason Martin, recently named one of House Beautiful’s Next Wave 20 interior designers.  Roeschel has finally finished and emailed us with the results. It’s an amazing transformation! A job well down Roeschel. Such a beautiful and calm space. Casually elegant and very liveable it’s certainly no cookie cutter room with vintage finds and lots of Roeschel’s personality shining through. Follow renovation adventures on her blog DIY Showoff especially the before and afters of her own home, a charming 1927 farmhouse. I particularly love her barn!

And because all of us just love to play with our photos here’s Roschel’s dreamy take on an equally dreamy room. Thanks again Roeschel for sharing the final results.

I don’t want to steal Jo’s birthday thunder (see post below), but in this case I think I need to make an exception. Jo just received a magazine from Singapore called Home & Decor that we’re featured in…as Bloggers of the Month!! They even included a photo of each of us and one of my kitchen. 🙂 WOHOO!!

Although it’s still Sunday here in Ottawa, there’s a 14 hour time difference between here and Jo’s part of the world, so it’s already Monday in Brisbane. And Monday happens to be Jo’s BIRTHDAY!!! I thought I’d put this up now so Jo sees this when she wakes up and (unfortunately) has to go to work. 🙂 Happy birthday blog buddy!! I hope you have a fantastic day and get lotsa pressies. Speaking of pressies, I know exactly what I would get you if I wasn’t in dire need of every cent I have to put towards an upcoming wedding and house renovations…a moroccan wedding blanket, which we have both been coveting for quite some time. Unfortunately all you get is a photo (via Living Etc.).

And since it’s almost Monday I thought I’d throw in a couple photos of Jo’s dog Mickey laying on some furniture in her office.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
