Bathing Beauties

Have you seen the bathroom on the cover of the new Home Beautiful bathroom mag? Amazing. I can't stop imagining new bathrooms, lots of white - all of them in my mind have, a chandelier, a frilly skirt (like the last pic), some marble - but then again, I would want all those elements in my kitchen and laundry as well. Imagine  black bathroom suites.  That's way too brave for me. I would love to go a bit crazy in our the little separate 'water closet' room.  Lots of wallpaper (only from half way up of course in case the toilet water splashes onto it - yuck - I heard this recently on Sarah's House - I am addicted to her shows), oh yeah and lots of pattern, a beautiful light, art even! No wall shall go un-arted. Especially if we open up the kitchen/living/dining area in our place and I'm left with barley a wall in our one-day-gonna-be-glass-box-house.

Restful

 wishing you a restful weekend. xx

Honey Came Home Today

Lemon Cake for My Love

A lemon cake for my love. This was Sunday. I hope you're all having a fabulous week. x
p.s. I am excited about picking up 2 custom coloured dot art works from the framers. Olive, caramel, latte & cream and coral, apricot, navy & stone. I'll be sure to show you how they turn out.

Update

Hellooo - some updates pour vous. My wedding dress is on lay-by. That's pretty much the only thing I can tick off the list. And lots and lots of shop updates. Gorgeous new garlands with dots, diamonds and triangles - brand new art -  nursery garlands - adorable smaller, pretty pastel dot garlands.

Stuff Around

3 Days On : Four Days Off

A lovely week. Three days on, four days off. A lovely Australia Day and a wedding dress day with mum followed by a weekend of breakfasts at beach and a swim in the ocean.

Reflections

I have things on my list, like everyone, that I want to do in my lifetime. Travel to India, Morocco, France - they were my top three and I did that. I've always wanted to write a book, sell a piece of my own art and live in France.  Sometimes we lose sight of these things amid the everyday hecticity (a term coined by an Aussie mate I met when I was living in London). Later is always when we think we will try and achieve things we always wanted to do.  Later...when we have time.  So when I packaged up my dot art works which sold surprisingly quickly, I thought, well, I can tick one thing off the list.

Making Do

My forte. Impractical DIY. Take lots of mag pics and cover the non-existent splash back (aka builders blue board). Use mag covers on the bottom row so you can wipe of cooking splatters, open the window and wait til you know what to do with the kitchen and which range hood to buy. If we can't make it done, we'll just have to make do!
