Pipe Dreams

My all time favourite bedroom. Mr tells me the bed is made from galvanised steel pipe. So I ask, is this something you could make. Hmm, now to sourcing the pipe and quashing excuses.

I Don't Like Practical Things

I'm not usually one for practicalities, but when it comes time to find a bed worth loving, these are the few that make the grade.

Progress

Mr reconfigured my wardrobe today so now I have a full length side for my dresses. Ah, gotta love a handy man with a drill and spectacles.

The New Image Maker

I'm back. I've been busy cooking, cleaning, washing, ironong and clearing some cupboard space for Mr and I came across these collages I printed out 2 years ago by Echo Morgan and I still really love them.

Sourdough Sunday

...and a cheeky mixed berry muffin from Harvest, a gorgeous organic store & cafe, where we bought bacon and tomatoes and took them home in brown paper bags.

The Art of the Bath

Bathing...I forgot how beautiful it can be, especially under a French chandelier where the soap comes wrapped in a slip of a page from a vintage book.

Saturday Feast

We wake, we feast, we read, we rest.

Home for the Weekend

We arrived in Daylesford on a dark and gloomy afternoon after driving for a couple of hours in the pouring rain in our bright red hire car which kept taking wrong turns. Finally Daylesford found us, tired and hungry. It fed us a late lunch of warm warm roasted veges and lamb pie w/peas by the fire at cosy Cliffy's and sent us to the house that had been waiting for us with a fat slice of syrupy lemon yoghurt cake to enjoy with a cup of tea.

Get Inspired & Come With Me

My favourite ever store would have to be Empire Vintage in Melbourne and I have been looking for the perfect excuse to stay at the lovely Lyn Gardener's White House in Daylesford for ages. So for my birthday last week, there I went, booked since January and counting down the days. You choose the room you fall in love with and get the whole house. I thought I had mine picked from the website, but when I arrived I chose the other. The one with the toile wallpaper and big bare globes with a portrait beside the bed of an old man I'll never know. This is the little garden studio which I peeked through the windows of - it's perched beneath a yellow leaved tree hung with baby bird cages.

p.s. For a lovely post with more info and images Pia has compiled one for you right here.

Precious Clutter

Mr cleared my leaning tower of Pisa bookshelves with the promise he would be build me more. So all my precious little things he laid out on the dining table. He did quite a nice job of it too, don't you think?
