I’ve been running on fumes for a long time so to say I am looking forward to it would be the understatement of the century. I’ve got a lot to do before then so I am taking a blogging break earlier but I’ll be back in no time with pictures of our trip to Samoa. </p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/575475658609361797/" target="_blank"><img title="Samoa - Wishful Thinking" alt="Samoa - Wishful Thinking" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/86/47/2e/86472e9ebb51f2a282405ea962a3f8ef.jpg" width="606" height="719"></a></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17329091095400102782noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352342636994673520.post-51549500560038378182015-09-25T06:00:00.000+10:002015-09-25T06:00:02.201+10:00Shall We Go Glam for a Sec<p align="justify">I’m generally a jeans and t-shirt kind of gal. Like 99% of the time. Although every now and then, I get the rare occasion to glam up a bit. My idea of glam is something flattering but my main mandate is that my outfit has to be comfortable. That rules out anything too tight, too short, too sharp and scratchy (I’m talking about sequins and stilettos here). Now I’m not saying that I look close to any of the ladies below but it’s definitely something to work towards, right? Donna Karan has absolutely nailed my idea of glam with these outfits. </p> <p><img alt="Donna Karan Resort 2014" src="https://pmcwwd.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/donna-karan01.jpg?w=683" width="603" height="902"></p> <p><img alt="Donna Karan Resort 2014" src="https://pmcwwd.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/donna-karan03.jpg?w=683" width="603" height="902"></p> <p><img alt="Donna Karan Resort 2014" src="https://pmcwwd.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/donna-karan04.jpg?w=683" width="606" height="907"></p> <p><img alt="Donna Karan Resort 2014" src="https://pmcwwd.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/donna-karan06.jpg?w=683" width="607" height="908"></p> <p><img alt="Donna Karan Resort 2014" src="https://pmcwwd.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/donna-karan08.jpg?w=683" width="607" height="908"></p> <p><img alt="Donna Karan Resort 2014" src="https://pmcwwd.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/donna-karan09.jpg?w=683" width="608" height="910"></p> <p><img alt="Donna Karan Resort 2014" src="https://pmcwwd.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/donna-karan12.jpg?w=683" width="612" height="916"></p> <p><img alt="Donna Karan Resort 2014" src="https://pmcwwd.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/donna-karan14.jpg?w=683" width="615" height="920"></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">Source | </font><a href="http://wwd.com/runway/resort-2014/new-york/donna-karan/review/slideshow/#!18/donna-karan-resort-2014-6965323-portrait/" target="_blank"><font size="1">WWD</font></a></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17329091095400102782noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352342636994673520.post-22652356501121612015-09-23T06:22:00.001+10:002015-09-23T06:22:59.698+10:00Brooklyn We Go Hard<p align="justify">A friend of mine recently moved to New York and even though I was so sad to see her go, I can’t say that I haven’t entertained the thought of heading over to visit her. I spent a very short week in New York about four years ago and we still reminisce about that epic trip. My internet travels recently revealed a Brooklyn apartment that stopped me dead in my tracks. Mostly because it looked quite spacious – something uncommon in a city where space is at a premium – and if that wasn’t enough, it was so beautifully put together. Soft colour palettes, eclectic pieces of sturdy furniture and strong sense of charm and character. I’ll let you see for yourself. </p> <p><img title="Wishful Thinking - Brooklyn Beauty" alt="Wishful Thinking - Brooklyn Beauty" src="http://cdn.insideout.com.au/images/15882/lloyd-brooklyn-home-living-room-modern-traditional-20141122105806%7Eq75,dx1920y-u1r1g0.jpg" width="600" height="340"></p> <p><img title="Wishful Thinking - Brooklyn Beauty" alt="Wishful Thinking - Brooklyn Beauty" src="http://cdn.insideout.com.au/images/10287/872686-1_lp-20141020083905%7Eq75,dx1920y-u1r1g0.jpg" width="601" height="901"></p> <p><img title="Wishful Thinking - Brooklyn Beauty" alt="Wishful Thinking - Brooklyn Beauty" src="http://cdn.insideout.com.au/images/10288/872688-1_lp-20141020083907%7Eq75,dx1920y-u1r1g0.jpg" width="603" height="904"></p> <p><img title="Wishful Thinking - Brooklyn Beauty" alt="Wishful Thinking - Brooklyn Beauty" src="http://cdn.insideout.com.au/images/10289/872690-1_lp-20141020083908%7Eq75,dx1920y-u1r1g0.jpg" width="604" height="905"></p> <p><img title="872692-1_lp" alt="872692-1_lp" src="http://cdn.insideout.com.au/images/10290/872692-1_lp-20141020083909%7Eq75,dx1920y-u1r1g0.jpg" width="605" height="907"></p> <p><img title="Wishful Thinking - Brooklyn Beauty" alt="Wishful Thinking - Brooklyn Beauty" src="http://cdn.insideout.com.au/images/10291/872694-1_lp-20141020083911%7Eq75,dx1920y-u1r1g0.jpg" width="606" height="908"></p> <p><img title="Wishful Thinking - Brooklyn Beauty" alt="Wishful Thinking - Brooklyn Beauty" src="http://cdn.insideout.com.au/images/10292/872696-1_lp-20141020083912%7Eq75,dx1920y-u1r1g0.jpg" width="605" height="907"></p> <p><img title="Wishful Thinking - Brooklyn Beauty" alt="Wishful Thinking - Brooklyn Beauty" src="http://cdn.insideout.com.au/images/15881/lloyd-brooklyn-home-sitting-in-kitchen-modern-traditional-20141122105802%7Eq75,dx1920y-u1r1g0.jpg" width="602" height="341"></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">Source | </font><a href="http://www.insideout.com.au/home-style/new-traditional/8-decorating-ideas-from-a-brooklyn-apartment" target="_blank"><font size="1">Inside Out</font></a></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17329091095400102782noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352342636994673520.post-88017758445875530742015-09-21T06:15:00.000+10:002015-09-21T06:15:00.705+10:00Validating Stereotypes<p align="justify">If you thought Australia was some vast faraway land where people say “G’day Mate” and kangaroos lounge around on your front lawn, then you would be absolutely correct. My day is very often made by work colleagues who greet me by saying g’day, and as for the roos? If you drive down to Jervis Bay, there are literally hundreds of them that make themselves at home by grazing in your garden. And turns out these suburban kangaroos are quite tame, although I should point out that some of them are absolutely enormous and there is no way Jord would have gotten so close to one of those <a href="http://www.mamamia.com.au/rogue/giant-kangaroo-brisbane/" target="_blank">larger thugs!</a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zKIyNi2EXVk/Vf5rhlrlUvI/AAAAAAAAY08/xbSKTCb7VeI/s1600-h/IMG_47375.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - Erowal Bay" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - Erowal Bay" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TiAa1t3TeWE/Vf5rie2nHoI/AAAAAAAAY1E/0-L4ZQB9djI/IMG_4737_thumb3.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="890"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-c-0kSpr2CSU/Vf5rjJKg-gI/AAAAAAAAY1I/4E7WZJVrNwA/s1600-h/IMG_47394.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - Erowal Bay" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - Erowal Bay" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5ssxuuABbqA/Vf5rj1-Vm5I/AAAAAAAAY1Q/vsLEkHXKeG0/IMG_4739_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="403"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zI95Q8RThL0/Vf5rkkuyLaI/AAAAAAAAY1Y/K97cs0LlJzc/s1600-h/IMG_47413.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - Erowal Bay" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - Erowal Bay" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Wr0FbHSfZOg/Vf5rlvijh1I/AAAAAAAAY1k/097vUSFQTI8/IMG_4741_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="403"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fHKVI_JpQ9M/Vf5rmVHvJHI/AAAAAAAAY1o/-ZXJD9Gt3xo/s1600-h/IMG_47435.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - Erowal Bay" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - Erowal Bay" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AZ-VNW69Qvc/Vf5rnKhmhII/AAAAAAAAY10/DIWhjVT30M4/IMG_4743_thumb3.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="890"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tMfDN0UiRFs/Vf5rn1D3OkI/AAAAAAAAY14/KNG4obnGP1U/s1600-h/IMG_47504.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - Erowal Bay" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - Erowal Bay" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mSe4O5BHndI/Vf5ropkIL9I/AAAAAAAAY2A/LwjoFDpVlSA/IMG_4750_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="403"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Vwbdphhb1tM/Vf5rpXsWdVI/AAAAAAAAY2I/iN7YfqG2eh4/s1600-h/IMG_47544.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - Erowal Bay" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - Erowal Bay" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-daSb-ZCC-3E/Vf5rqXtVPXI/AAAAAAAAY2Q/O36k_ptWV2g/IMG_4754_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="403"></a></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">All images via Wishful Thinking</font></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17329091095400102782noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352342636994673520.post-77033109730685208652015-09-18T06:00:00.000+10:002015-09-17T21:31:27.943+10:00All About The Shoes<div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;">

I went a little nuts with my credit card. Let's just say that it is still smoking from a major shopping bender. I'm on a self-imposed shopping drought until further notice but that doesn't mean I can't look/hope/dream. Even though I am counting down the minutes to summer, I'm still hanging on to my autumn looks like this simple one below. </div>

And if I am honest, some of the best ones always seem to pop up on Remodelista. The stunner below belongs to Parisian blogger/stylist <a href="http://lgb-etc.blogspot.com/">Lucille Gauthier-Braud</a>. It’s light, bright and beautifully curated. I love the simplicity of it, the character-inducing wooden beams and the fact that it is lit from two sides. (It also happens to be an IKEA kitchen). Lucille’s kitchen shows exactly what can be achieved with a creative eye and a modest budget.</p> <p><img title="Lucille Gauthier-Braud's kitchen in Paris I Remodelista" alt="Lucille Gauthier-Braud's kitchen in Paris I Remodelista" src="http://www.remodelista.com/files/styles/733_0s/public/fields/lucille-kitchen-remodelista-2.jpg" width="600" height="402"></p> <p><img title="Lucille Gauthier-Braud's kitchen in Paris I Remodelista" alt="Lucille Gauthier-Braud's kitchen in Paris I Remodelista" src="http://www.remodelista.com/files/styles/733_0s/public/fields/lucille-apartment-marais-remodelista-4.jpg" width="600" height="402"></p> <p><img title="Lucille Gauthier-Braud's kitchen in Paris I Remodelista" alt="Lucille Gauthier-Braud's kitchen in Paris I Remodelista" src="http://www.remodelista.com/files/styles/733_0s/public/fields/lucille-kitchen-marais-10.jpg" width="600" height="597"></p> <p><img title="Lucille Gauthier-Braud's kitchen in Paris I Remodelista" alt="Lucille Gauthier-Braud's kitchen in Paris I Remodelista" src="http://www.remodelista.com/files/styles/733_0s/public/fields/lucille-kitchen-marais-4.jpg" width="600" height="601"></p> <p><img title="Lucille Gauthier-Braud's kitchen in Paris I Remodelista" alt="Lucille Gauthier-Braud's kitchen in Paris I Remodelista" src="http://www.remodelista.com/files/styles/733_0s/public/fields/lucille-kitchen-remodelista-detail-shot.jpg" width="600" height="429"></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">Source | </font><a href="http://www.remodelista.com/posts/steal-this-look-an-ikea-country-kitchen-in-paris-belonging-to-stylist-lucille-gauthier-braud" target="_blank"><font size="1">Remodelista</font></a> <font size="1">Photography by </font><a href="https://instagram.com/lgb_etc/"><font size="1">Lucille Gauthier-Braud</font></a></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17329091095400102782noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352342636994673520.post-10473310440751947672015-09-13T21:10:00.001+10:002015-09-13T21:10:12.792+10:00Life Lately<p align="justify">I’m taking photos, just not with a fancy camera.

I won’t bore you with the details of the pain and suffering every South African goes through when dealing with the essential paperwork of their lives but just know this, the actual application took me over 6 months to put together (partly because I lost the will to live half way through). But it’s being processed and we are tentatively planning a trip home when it (and my baby nephew) finally arrive. I am incredibly lucky to be able to live in Australia and I truly love my life down under but every now and then, usually when I see those familiar craggy green mountains of my home province, I get that pang of homesickness. It’s only fitting that I post a Western Cape beauty that encompasses everything I love about South African houses. Enjoy. </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/7/1/7/0/1071705-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="600" height="401"></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/7/1/7/0/1071707-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="600" height="401"></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/7/1/7/0/1071708-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="600" height="401"></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/7/1/7/0/1071709-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="600" height="401"></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/7/1/7/0/1071710-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="600" height="401"></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/7/1/7/0/1071703-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="600" height="401"></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/7/1/7/0/1071704-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="600" height="401"></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/7/1/7/0/1071712-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="600" height="401"></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">Source | </font><a href="http://www.vogue.com.au/vogue+living/interiors/galleries/a+dream+holiday+house+for+sale+in+south+africa,36477" target="_blank"><font size="1">Vogue Living</font></a></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17329091095400102782noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352342636994673520.post-42013658104773713972015-09-07T20:43:00.001+10:002015-09-07T20:43:29.597+10:00The Tinkling of Ceramics<p align="justify">I’ve been toiling away again, hence the absence. I’ve been sketching, painting, tracing, writing and brainstorming. All in the name of my <a href="http://www.iscd.edu.au/courses/foundation-course-certificate-iv/" target="_blank">design course</a>, which is ticking along [very slowly]! Even though I am finding it hard to juggle both full-time employment and studying in the evenings, I’m learning so much and loving every minute. I am fully immersed in creativity and am itching to try new techniques. Working with clay is top of my list at the moment. I’m taking my inspiration from ceramic artist <a href="http://www.epure-ceramique.com/" target="_blank">Justine Lacoste</a>. The milky white ceramic dishes are straight out of a fairytale. </p> <h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><img title="Epure-Justine Lacoste handmade porcelain from France | Remodelista" alt="Epure-Justine Lacoste handmade porcelain from France | Remodelista" src="http://www.remodelista.com/files/styles/733_0s/public/fields/justine-lacoste-remodelista-1.jpg" width="600" height="600"></h3> <p><img title="Epure-Justine Lacoste handmade porcelain from France | Remodelista" alt="Epure-Justine Lacoste handmade porcelain from France | Remodelista" src="http://www.remodelista.com/files/styles/733_0s/public/fields/justine-lacoste-remodelista-2.jpg" width="600" height="600"></p> <p><img title="Justine Lacoste Potter in France | Remodelista" alt="Justine Lacoste Potter in France | Remodelista" src="http://www.remodelista.com/files/styles/733_0s/public/fields/justine-lacoste-remodelista-4.jpg" width="600" height="600"></p> <p><img title="Justine Lacost-Epure handmade patterned porcelain serving boards | Remodelista" alt="Justine Lacost-Epure handmade patterned porcelain serving boards | Remodelista" src="http://www.remodelista.com/files/styles/733_0s/public/fields/Justine-Lacoste-Epure-porcelain-boards-Remodelista.jpg" width="600" height="600"></p> <p><img title="Epure-Justine Lacoste handmade porcelain vases from France | Remodelista" alt="Epure-Justine Lacoste handmade porcelain vases from France | Remodelista" src="http://www.remodelista.com/files/styles/733_0s/public/fields/justine-lacoste-remodelista-3.jpg" width="600" height="600"></p> <p><img title="JEpure-Justine Lacoste handmade porcelain bowls and plates from France | Remodelista" alt="JEpure-Justine Lacoste handmade porcelain bowls and plates from France | Remodelista" src="http://www.remodelista.com/files/styles/733_0s/public/fields/composition-canel%C3%A9-1-epure-justine-lacoste-remodelista.jpg" width="600" height="451"></p> <p><img title="Epure-Justine Lacoste handmade linen-textured Limoges porcelain plates from France | Remodelista" alt="Epure-Justine Lacoste handmade linen-textured Limoges porcelain plates from France | Remodelista" src="http://www.remodelista.com/files/styles/733_0s/public/fields/Justine-Lacoste-Epure-Plats-Trame-Lin-porcelain-plates-Remodelista.jpg" width="600" height="600"></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">Source | </font><a href="http://www.remodelista.com/posts/justine-lacoste-epure-handmade-french-porcelain-tableware-vases-plates-and-lighting" target="_blank"><font size="1">Remodelista</font></a><font size="1"> Photography | </font><a href="http://www.epure-ceramique.com/"><font size="1">Epure-Justine Lacoste</font></a></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17329091095400102782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352342636994673520.post-57146534136247824952015-08-29T13:57:00.001+10:002015-08-29T13:57:32.743+10:00Go Somewhere, See Something<div style="width:600px;margin:0 auto"><div style="position:relative;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.polyvore.com/go_somewhere_see_something/set?.embedder=2584549&.svc=blogger&id=174859623"><img width="600" alt="Go Somewhere, See Something" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/wmS21A0JCG32NcZ0tfzyAw/cid/174859623/id/xCGxDgJO5RG_P4yW6ODk1w/size/c600x519.jpg" title="Go Somewhere, See Something" height="519" border="0" /></a></div></div><br/><div style="text-align:center"><small><a target="_blank" href="http://www.polyvore.com/go_somewhere_see_something/set?.embedder=2584549&.svc=blogger&id=174859623">Go Somewhere, See Something</a> by <a target="_blank" href="http://meghan174.polyvore.com/?.embedder=2584549&.svc=blogger">meghan174</a> featuring a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.polyvore.com/leather_rucksack/shop?country=au&query=leather+rucksack">leather rucksack</a></small></div><div style="width:600px;margin:0 auto"><small><div style="padding-top:16px"><p style="clear:both;margin:0em;padding:0px"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing?.embedder=2584549&.svc=blogger&id=123919133"><img width="50" align="left" hspace="4" src="http://ak1.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/s/tid/123919133.jpg" style="border:1px solid #cccccc;margin:0 8px 8px 0;padding:2px;background-color:#ffffff;" height="50" /></a><div style="margin-bottom:8px;text-align:left;"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing?.embedder=2584549&.svc=blogger&id=123919133">Chicwish white long sleeve shirt</a><br/>75 AUD -

In all honesty, I don’t think the saying has ever rung truer for me at the moment. I’m hanging on by a thread here. I’m dreaming of sun-kissed shoulders, wide brimmed sun hats, drinks with little cocktail umbrellas, the sounds of the sea lapping at rocks… getting a bit carried away here. My next getaway is not for a while yet so join me while I take a little virtual trip to Mykonos, specifically the San Giorgio Hotel. You can thank me later. </p> <p><img src="https://m2.behance.net/rendition/pm/4056213/disp/71a3cd925c1a811e9623fcc9d3f445b0.jpg" width="600" height="400"></p> <p><img src="https://m2.behance.net/rendition/pm/4056213/disp/8437bf915816b912d3be27ed7be31f19.jpeg" width="600" height="400"></p> <p><img src="https://m2.behance.net/rendition/pm/4056213/disp/8ec29d7e3b34952d4d50448c0ff0ae64.jpeg" width="600" height="400"></p> <p></p> <p><img src="https://m2.behance.net/rendition/pm/4056213/disp/787a7359cdeabefbadf725a1eda2863e.jpeg" width="600" height="400"></p> <p><img src="https://m2.behance.net/rendition/pm/4056213/disp/b393eb3de3eeef9a27dc8f2a4c251fb4.jpg" width="600" height="900"></p> <p><img src="https://m2.behance.net/rendition/pm/4056213/disp/9e7f234cd7251db340c5fc5ca665a1b6.jpeg" width="600" height="338"></p> <p><img src="https://m2.behance.net/rendition/pm/4056213/disp/524d578c38ab4261fba370154e22fef2.jpg" width="600" height="400"></p> <p><img src="https://m2.behance.net/rendition/pm/4056213/disp/10b42e33e0e00f7a9ba1c2d74cb56f8d.jpg" width="600" height="900"></p> <p><img src="https://m2.behance.net/rendition/pm/4056213/disp/a1977baa2bc50155cc6496a893ae9a4d.jpg" width="600" height="900"></p> <p><img src="https://m2.behance.net/rendition/pm/4056213/disp/506f07eab451bac32b13ed3f0772c7c1.jpg" width="600" height="900"></p> <p><img src="https://m2.behance.net/rendition/pm/4056213/disp/35df9f938c4c822ba9bce598750d11ed.jpeg" width="600" height="900"></p> <p><img src="https://m2.behance.net/rendition/pm/4056213/disp/f2a8d965d9fbfb357dd5260353834d24.jpeg" width="600" height="820"></p> <p><img src="https://m2.behance.net/rendition/pm/4056213/disp/312b5b2bd9ed303cab36b00c0c871efa.jpeg" width="600" height="900"></p> <p><img src="https://m2.behance.net/rendition/pm/4056213/disp/e6ce9fedbc9a698c048c8ac4efddcd09.jpg" width="600" height="900"></p> <p></p> <p><img src="https://m2.behance.net/rendition/pm/4056213/disp/4298f2122fec92bf2001849561ab1f66.jpg" width="600" height="900"></p> <p align="center">Source | <a href="http://annabellkutucu.com/117477/951473/gallery/san-giorgio-mykonos-a-design-hotels-project" target="_blank">Annabell Kutucu</a></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17329091095400102782noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352342636994673520.post-47533317228240934212015-08-24T06:36:00.001+10:002015-08-24T06:36:35.314+10:00A Quintessential Aussie Weekend<p align="justify">I’ve been slowly working through my list of goals for 2015 – admittedly, my success rate has not been great (and it’s already nearly September). But there is still time for them to be realised. In the meantime, I am one step closer by spotting a wombat on a recent trip to the South Coast. We stopped by a spot they are known to frolic, and there he was, a lone wombat munching on the grass in broad daylight. He was very patient and posed for numerous photos. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VtaqAfZRan4/VdoukLxnb5I/AAAAAAAAYrM/Piln7Nn6U9U/s1600-h/IMG_5290%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - Wombat Spotting" style="border-top: 0px;

This is not uncommon, but his view on the matter is quite firm – the matter being that I would like a stately portrait, to hang possibly in the hallway or the living room. Some important so and so from another time, maybe with rosy cheeks and a strong nose will lord over the house and introduce some much needed colour and character. Jordan thinks this is ridiculous and creepy and will not budge on his hatred of the idea, no matter how many images of its successful execution I shove at him. </p> <p align="justify">Personally, I think he is still traumatised by <a href="http://my-wishfulthinking.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/remember-that-time-we-went-glamping-in.html" target="_blank">this portrait</a> (scroll all the way to the bottom, she is a creep). </p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/10203536633486011/" target="_blank"><img title=" Wishful Thinking - The Portrait Debate" alt=" Wishful Thinking - The Portrait Debate" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ae/29/4e/ae294eb0b608becdb748c031d7818a35.jpg" width="600" height="898"></a></p> <p><a href="http://breadandolives.tumblr.com/post/57149855383/source" target="_blank"><img title=" Wishful Thinking - The Portrait Debate" alt=" Wishful Thinking - The Portrait Debate" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/68/18/ad/6818ad930439ade61b2afa9896972886.jpg" width="600" height="897"></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.remodelista.com/posts/house-call-in-the-kitchen-and-beyond-with-kara-rosenlund" target="_blank"><img title="Wishful Thinking - The Great Portrait Debate " alt="Wishful Thinking - The Great Portrait Debate " src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/54/b5/4c/54b54c6ad88aedaee5f510ece00efbc1.jpg" width="600" height="750"></a></p> <p><a href="http://eye-swoon.com/finding-space-in-summer/" target="_blank"><img title="Wishful Thinking - The Great Portrait Debate" alt="Wishful Thinking - The Great Portrait Debate" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/59/1a/84/591a8404113aa0f4873c2dd0502f4f39.jpg" width="600" height="400"></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.lovelylife.se/strenghielm/2015/05/26/klart-fargkoder-tips-mm/" target="_blank"><img title=" Wishful Thinking - The Great Portrait Debate" alt=" Wishful Thinking - The Great Portrait Debate" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/a6/fb/91/a6fb911456af140180064afb7588ed17.jpg" width="600" height="897"></a></p> <p><a href="http://wabisabi-style.blogspot.se/" target="_blank"><img title="Wishful Thinking - The Great Portrait Debate" alt="Wishful Thinking - The Great Portrait Debate" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/88/36/1c/88361c39c6716608409db06eb9643725.jpg" width="600" height="817"></a></p> <p><a href="http://carlaaston.com/designed/new-trend-old-portraits-of-unfamiliar-faces-used-as-home-decor" target="_blank"><img title="Wishful Thinking - The Great Portrait Debate" alt="Wishful Thinking - The Great Portrait Debate" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/65/3b/f6/653bf61e16c24fa23f9768acaeb0abe5.jpg" width="600" height="862"></a></p> <p><a href="http://carlaaston.com/designed/new-trend-old-portraits-of-unfamiliar-faces-used-as-home-decor" target="_blank"><img title="Wishful Thinking - The Great Portrait Debate" alt="Wishful Thinking - The Great Portrait Debate" src="http://static1.squarespace.com/static/4fcf5c8684aef9ce6e0a44b0/t/53827f0ce4b00a843b77f725/1401061155526/New+Trend%3A+Old+Portraits+of+Unfamiliar+Faces+Used+As+Home+Decor.jpg?format=750w" width="600" height="689"></a></p> <p><a href="http://style-files.com/2014/09/19/a-small-but-cozy-home-in-stockholm/" target="_blank"><img title="Wishful Thinking - The Great Portrait Debate" alt="Wishful Thinking - The Great Portrait Debate" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/f4/fc/b1/f4fcb11d90085f3461c8def8e2d0e43e.jpg" width="600" height="799"></a></p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://style-files.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/SFD1FB42BAC6F744FE59E87772FBA5ED861.jpg" target="_blank"><img title="Wishful Thinking - The Great Portrait Debate " alt="Wishful Thinking - The Great Portrait Debate " src="http://style-files.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/SFD1FB42BAC6F744FE59E87772FBA5ED861.jpg" width="600" height="799"></a></p> <p align="center"><font size="1"><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IC2rHnB80JI/VdL3QwXmeyI/AAAAAAAAYqQ/lwzBuaYzH-c/s1600-h/JohnDerianNewYorkTimesHouseTourRemod%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - The Great Portrait Debate" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - The Great Portrait Debate" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xf9pLcsA-DI/VdL3RujAcAI/AAAAAAAAYqY/DwzU7gMx668/JohnDerianNewYorkTimesHouseTourRemod%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="375"></a> </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">Click on the image to go to the source</font></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17329091095400102782noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352342636994673520.post-91742892815141038792015-08-17T06:00:00.000+10:002015-08-17T06:00:04.174+10:00Never Far From A View<p align="justify">Living in Sydney, you are never really far from a spectacular view.

What was once a motor mechanics garage, has since been converted into light, bright and airy holiday accommodation (in none other than Melbourne), by the very talented <a href="http://www.empirevintage.com.au/" target="_blank">Lynda Gardener</a>. I’ve done some serious mooning over the white floor, vintage photos and crumpled linen bedding.

If you venture out just west of Byron Bay, you’ll find yourself in the lush green rolling hills of the Hinterlands. Where the grass is so green, you might almost mistake it for Irish countryside. Everybody is relaxed, mellow, friendly. Even the cows. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-55tBFPfSYBY/VcazqQDrMNI/AAAAAAAAYko/7H6bXcodK5Q/s1600-h/IMG_52596.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - The Hinterlands" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - The Hinterlands" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JFz4KFPQAIA/Vcazr2E_S6I/AAAAAAAAYkw/SyMry7vWgmw/IMG_5259_thumb4.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="887"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lt-xRTrVWlQ/Vcazsqku10I/AAAAAAAAYk4/Q3notMg15wQ/s1600-h/IMG_52614.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - The Hinterlands" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - The Hinterlands" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-W6Q1Lan_DVY/VcaztKzxWyI/AAAAAAAAYlA/nBcWJAAP1DU/IMG_5261_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="403"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HQ2LOSMn-B0/Vcazt7MsilI/AAAAAAAAYlI/AYzLhnBwF5c/s1600-h/IMG_52634.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - The Hinterlands" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - The Hinterlands" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HAFQNaPzu08/VcazudAN9YI/AAAAAAAAYlM/c__czVk_tdc/IMG_5263_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="403"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MR1v6C8RnVA/VcazvaRlHwI/AAAAAAAAYlY/pqanz5hVCjA/s1600-h/IMG_5266%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - The Hinterlands" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - The Hinterlands" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Nsd5ttyjFkA/VcazwQ6yFxI/AAAAAAAAYlg/_GGebLxMOMA/IMG_5266_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="403"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-H85AbCCnDGY/VcazxFfVPpI/AAAAAAAAYlo/rbfYe3_sTfY/s1600-h/IMG_52655.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - The Hinterlands" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - The Hinterlands" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6a9um3zjTEE/Vcazxw7hS1I/AAAAAAAAYlw/dZBFft8M0oE/IMG_5265_thumb3.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="405"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lu0Q7Y2U1zI/VcazypLy1II/AAAAAAAAYl4/4mt1fPsvihg/s1600-h/IMG_5268%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - The Hinterlands" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - The Hinterlands" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dnUoSs9bnu0/VcazzSyGT4I/AAAAAAAAYmA/b_yfi05FAj0/IMG_5268_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="888"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eWHEsSAF5VE/Vcazz1v6q4I/AAAAAAAAYmI/EU4zQ6URO-M/s1600-h/IMG_52674.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - The Hinterlands" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - The Hinterlands" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3TAKN1qUo4U/Vcaz0sem54I/AAAAAAAAYmQ/YG7I8JEufds/IMG_5267_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="403"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hSzf0OfyAQw/Vcaz1R7mkiI/AAAAAAAAYmY/AFGvx5lpqb4/s1600-h/IMG_52744.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - The Hinterlands" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - The Hinterlands" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Klw7h0eqM0c/Vcaz1-qJH1I/AAAAAAAAYmg/9MlKDRFaj_s/IMG_5274_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="403"></a></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">Images via Wishful Thinking</font></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17329091095400102782noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352342636994673520.post-19406087617110093332015-08-05T05:00:00.000+10:002015-08-05T05:00:03.011+10:00But Would You Look At That Courtyard<p align="justify">By now, I’m sure everyone has seen Calvin Klein’s Miami Beach mansion designed by my favourite and my best, Mr <a href="http://www.axel-vervoordt.com/en/home" target="_blank">Axel Vervoordt</a>. If you loved it as much as I did, I hope you don’t mind seeing it again? Of course the soft natural colours and flowing sinuous white lines were the obvious tractor-beam draw for me, but I also happen to have a thing for houses built around a central courtyard. The layout requires careful planning and often more space than most people have but the consequence is a sense of sprawl, open-ness and sheer luxury. </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/6/8/3/0/1068383-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="600" height="402"></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/6/8/3/0/1068384-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="600" height="402"></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/6/8/3/0/1068387-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="600" height="402"></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/6/8/3/0/1068389-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="600" height="897"></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/6/8/3/0/1068390-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="600" height="897"></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/6/8/3/0/1068398-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="600" height="896"></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/6/8/3/0/1068388-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="600" height="402"></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/6/8/4/0/1068402-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="600" height="402"></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/6/8/4/0/1068403-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="600" height="402"></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/6/8/3/0/1068385-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="603" height="404"></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://nlm-common-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/vogue/media/images/1/0/6/8/3/0/1068391-1_og_gallery.jpg" width="600" height="402"></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">Source | </font><a href="http://www.vogue.com.au/vogue+living/interiors/galleries/calvin+kleins+axel+vervoordt+designed+house+is+for+sale,36341" target="_blank"><font size="1">Vogue Living</font></a></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17329091095400102782noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352342636994673520.post-50318213494928191132015-08-03T18:59:00.001+10:002015-08-03T18:59:34.518+10:00Home Away From Home<p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hSwFfPSlV5M/Vb8tcueLyAI/AAAAAAAAYkM/3j96tUx9bA0/s1600-h/IMG_40525.jpg"><img title="IMG_4052" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_4052" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Y7bhfuRia7Q/Vb8tdd-5twI/AAAAAAAAYkU/wgLeRnFFUQY/IMG_4052_thumb3.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="405"></a></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">A misty morning view from our apartment</font></p> <p align="justify">At about 5pm yesterday afternoon, Jordan and I popped open a bottle of champagne and sat down to do some serious reminiscing. It’s almost 10 years to the day that two young, foolish teenagers set off from everything they knew and loved to see the world. Armed with just 600 pounds between the two of us, no real life experience, no prospect of employment or housing, we found ourselves beginning our adult life in London. And promptly had the shit kicked right out of us. Those first few years away from home were indescribable – we were constantly homesick, penniless, hungry and totally clueless. But somewhere along the line, we got the hang of life <em>(I will never forget the triumph of our first full grocery shop or the day we bought a tiny television and carried it all the way home, or the first time I was able to give someone else directions on the tube). </em>We grew up, we got married, we saw the world together. And here we are 10 years later, continuing our nomadic adventure. We’ve come a long way since that day at Earls Court station. </p> <p align="justify">Oh and did I tell you that our beloved apartment made it’s way into the <a href="http://www.ikeafamilylivemagazine.com/au/en/article/43699" target="_blank">IKEA Family Magazine</a>?</p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17329091095400102782noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352342636994673520.post-77367105557124471312015-07-31T06:00:00.000+10:002015-07-31T06:00:02.087+10:00Inspired<p align="justify">I randomly stumbled across the blog <a href="http://www.lunchpailsandlipstick.com/" target="_blank">Lunchpails and Lipstick</a> and felt instantly inspired by the beautiful outfits on display.

A bright airy space, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the house, where I can shut out the world and just vegetate for a few hours. Not only do they provide urban boltholes but they are also a very clever way of utilising what would normally be “dead space”. Saying that, the awkward slope of the roof and poor ventilation, makes them tricky to create. As usual, those clever Scandinavians have brainstormed and come up with some nifty solutions to combat these common attic problems. One such solution are the famous Danish VELUX windows, which not only provide ample light, but also provide clever ventilation solutions to a normally dark and stuffy roof space, but have you ever wondered how to cover them? If you had asked me 3 months ago whether I would bother with window coverings (if there was no chance of being overlooked) I’d tell you absolutely not, but my stance quickly changed when we put up a pair of thick curtains in our bedroom in the hopes of combating a chilly southerly wind… the decision has been next to life-changing. Our bedroom now feels warm and snug and the added darkness has allowed the odd lie-in on a Sunday morning. The moral of the story? Never underestimate the value of a good window covering, not matter what type of window or door you have. </p> <p align="justify">For those of you lucky enough to have an attic hideaway, check out <a href="https://www.roofblinds.co.uk/" target="_blank">Itzala</a> – they have some fantastic coverings for VELUX windows. </p> <p><img alt="http://www.vtwonen.nl/inspiratie/van-zolder-naar-slaapkamer/" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/b9/3a/ac/b93aac47db77813c5566f8d16b8e323d.jpg" width="600" height="900"></p> <p><a href="http://www.vtwonen.nl/een-licht-huis/velux-vouwgordijnen/" target="_blank"><img alt="VELUX vouwgordijnen" src="http://blog.vtwonen.nl/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/velux-vouwgordijnen.jpg" width="600" height="403"></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.vtwonen.nl/een-licht-huis/10x-trends-in-raambekleding/" target="_blank"><img alt="VELUX" src="http://blog.vtwonen.nl/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/verduisterend-transparant-v.jpg" width="601" height="452"></a></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://www.vtwonen.nl/een-licht-huis/10x-trends-in-raambekleding/" target="_blank"><img alt="VELUX raambekleding" src="http://blog.vtwonen.nl/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/metallics-velux.jpg" width="600" height="799"></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.velux.com/products/product_range/blinds/roman_blinds_landing_page/" target="_blank"><img alt="Go exclusive by combining different structures and shades of grey and beige with elements of nature." src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/28/8d/18/288d186b7c8bce02b404770bde3f0812.jpg" width="600" height="451"></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.dachexpress.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Velux_Cabrio_Dachexpress1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.dachexpress.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Velux_Cabrio_Dachexpress1.jpg" src="http://www.dachexpress.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Velux_Cabrio_Dachexpress1.jpg" width="600" height="451"></a></p> <p></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">Click on the image to go to the source</font> </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-gtR669w5SoM/VbdCDDzk2TI/AAAAAAAAYjA/REc_2TAqKcw/s1600-h/Itzala2.jpg"><img title="Itzala" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Itzala" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CzbdIh42HVY/VbdCDxNxn-I/AAAAAAAAYjI/_GIzHgjVHjM/Itzala_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="240" height="29"></a></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17329091095400102782noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352342636994673520.post-48698892976359503312015-07-27T18:54:00.001+10:002015-07-27T18:54:56.450+10:00Tallow Beach, Byron Bay<p align="justify">You’ll have to forgive my incessant posting of beach scenes but ever since I found myself living in Australia, not a week goes by when I don’t find myself in front of yet another breath-taking coastal setting.

It was so quiet that we were lucky enough to stumble across a little echidna, who was doing roly polys down the sand dunes.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qJWkTAzrkoU/VbXxu03VniI/AAAAAAAAYgg/8qxXhDTb30E/s1600-h/IMG_51926.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - Tallow Beach" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - Tallow Beach" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4SIpnBpfXJM/VbXxvkFePTI/AAAAAAAAYgo/kDERyAMhLGk/IMG_5192_thumb4.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="887"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wOdvespIn-A/VbXxwT4hQ7I/AAAAAAAAYgw/kfeQVXrq_EU/s1600-h/IMG_51963.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - Tallow Beach" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - Tallow Beach" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--dOkBaenDvU/VbXxxDbrjOI/AAAAAAAAYg4/ZinJTPVNdjg/IMG_5196_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="403"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0SZJtEBcl5o/VbXxxmj4iUI/AAAAAAAAYhA/GLn3vYpBeX0/s1600-h/IMG_51825.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - Tallow Beach" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - Tallow Beach" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tbEIgR8Npt8/VbXxyY1nztI/AAAAAAAAYhI/4WQhLE0SZmo/IMG_5182_thumb3.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="405"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vfLvWts5DSk/VbXxzLM4FBI/AAAAAAAAYhQ/ffdi6P5GxNs/s1600-h/IMG_51844.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - Tallow Beach" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - Tallow Beach" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JpfLUQUz8DQ/VbXxzuuUWdI/AAAAAAAAYhY/wbl35LbGKf8/IMG_5184_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="403"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_MHGd6PyHjc/VbXx0dtGC2I/AAAAAAAAYhg/EHFdNBWWphA/s1600-h/IMG_52035.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - Tallow Beach" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - Tallow Beach" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cI5dcO5ylSg/VbXx1A3kjYI/AAAAAAAAYho/wQGBBUrCbls/IMG_5203_thumb3.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="404"></a> </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XzcEEikNE_k/VbXx1omAwrI/AAAAAAAAYhw/R487Pm76BHo/s1600-h/IMG_52566.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - Tallow Beach" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - Tallow Beach" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IDv3E_DhGSY/VbXx2bsxZjI/AAAAAAAAYh4/zUOTPicqB24/IMG_5256_thumb4.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="887"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IiMpeNvqCLI/VbXx3F8G5kI/AAAAAAAAYiA/cZd6--azJZQ/s1600-h/IMG_52513.jpg"><img title="Wishful Thinking - Tallow Beach" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wishful Thinking - Tallow Beach" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FmpQ9bDSGhc/VbXx3yenboI/AAAAAAAAYiI/sHfVTRpYdhU/IMG_5251_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="598" height="402"></a></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">All images via Wishful Thinking</font></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17329091095400102782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352342636994673520.post-46692659406236595212015-07-25T06:00:00.000+10:002015-07-25T08:00:06.993+10:00Motley Assortment<div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;">

Yes? Of course you do. Today we are travelling to Sweden to snoop around this chic little Swedish apartment. It’s an apartment filled with contrasting elements – the black staircase against a white canvas, black chairs resting on an all white floor, bold art and happy houseplants, all encased in a cocoon of soothing white. It would take me all of two minutes to splosh coffee and red wine all over the show but we I can dream, right?</p> <p><img alt="Est-Magazine-Open-House-Exterior-Entrance" src="http://estmagazine.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Est-Magazine-Exterior-Entrance.jpg" width="600" height="807"></p> <p></p> <p><img alt="Est-Magazine-Open-House-Stairs-Entrance" src="http://estmagazine.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Est-Magazine-Stiars-Entrance.jpg" width="600" height="451"></p> <p><img alt="Est-Magazine-Open-House-Sofa-Entrance" src="http://estmagazine.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Est-Magazine-Sofa-Entrance.jpg" width="600" height="451"></p> <p><img alt="Est-Magazine-Open-House-Living-entrance" src="http://estmagazine.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Est-Magazine-Living-entrance.jpg" width="600" height="451"></p> <p><img alt="Est-Magazine-Open-House-Kitchen-Entrance" src="http://estmagazine.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Est-Magazine-Kitchen-Entrance.jpg" width="600" height="452"></p> <p><img alt="Est-Magazine-Open-House-Stairs" src="http://estmagazine.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Est-Magazine-Stairs.jpg" width="600" height="452"></p> <p><img alt="Est-Magazine-Open-House-Bedroom" src="http://estmagazine.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Est-Magazine-Bedroom.jpg" width="600" height="452"></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">Source | </font><a href="http://estmagazine.com.au/open-house-make-an-entrance/" target="_blank"><font size="1">Est Magazine</font></a></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17329091095400102782noreply@blogger.com3
