Missing...

The sunset in Paris...

Bower Birding - Help!

One of the things Surfer Boy and I have in common is our love of treasure hunting - by this I mean scouring op. shops, bric-a-brac. and hard rubbish, not the stuff pirates bury.

The last time we were down at the beach house it was hard rubbish day and for most of the weekend we were astonishingly restrained.  It was not until we had walked past this little beauty a number of times that we looked at each other and nodded - we couldn't resist.  It is times like these that I love the fact that S.Boy drives a Ute. 

Home it came and now for the life of us we can't decide what to do with it.  The top 2/3 are mesh and the top opens up a little like a rabbit hutch.  If you have any suggestions as to what we can do with it / how we can use it I'd love to hear them, please!

Absolutely In Love With...

I am always on the hunt for new, exciting, beautiful fabrics as fabric is my starting point for the rooms/homes I design. We have just received some absolutely beautiful new fabrics in and I must admit I am completely smitten with this orchid fabric. My favourite colourway is this one above but it doesn't work with my current wall colour at the new house. As painting the house {which is going to be a mamouth cost} is not yet on the agenda I am going to have to work with the existing colours which are all very heritage!! So I am going to cover a couple of old chairs I have in the yellow colourway which you can see peeping through underneath...it's very beautiful too but that pink is just to die for, don't you think?!!
