Look Is Done

 

Who knew that wallpaper ripped off the wall could look so good? If I was this home owner I would've stopped there too. What a rotten job it is pasting all that gloop on and scrapping the wallpaper off like peeling skin.

 

I love the parchment brown and rough look. Add in crumply linen bedding, and the look is done.

 

Now I am eyeing off some particularly fine vinyl paper right in front of me! Could be worth a shot.

Style Links

 

 

I loved this pad and its functional finishes and big open indoor spaces. The mix of white and timber and clean lines belies what seems to be a fairly budget conscious fit out. The awnings over the windows and doors are not a big ticket item, but they elevate this place and allow open views outdoors, but a degree of privacy from neighbours.

 

The garden is also a great space with the use of compacted crushed rock and hardy plants. And even though I'm a bit nervous for the pooches of the home and their paws, I luurve the cattle grid style links between indoors and out. But it does seem like the pooches have sussed out how to handle the obstacle easily.

A Few Of My Favourite Things

 

 

 

 

Hope everyone has had a lovely, lovely mother's day. It was a very sweet one here, with breakfast in bed and cards, and jobs around the house etc.

 

I should get more organised for next year though and teach my sons how to use etsy, because I was taking a look this afternoon through my faves and realised there would have been soooo many great mother's day options!

 

Here are just a few of my latest favourite things.

Supplies The Inspiration

 

 

 

 

 

I love seeing super cool renos of mid century homes like this. It supplies the inspiration I need when I look around the Splendour. {Especially when the rain sets in and the ceiling starts to leak!}

 

Loving the open vast planes of this home and the warmth the timber lined ceiling brings. That's a great move right there.

Cool On Every Surface

 

There's a lot to envy here isn't there. From the dark timbers to the monochromatic cool on every surface, there isn't a single thing in this home that I wouldn't happily tuck under my wing.

 

The best bits for me are the industrial light over the table, the awesome storage arrangement in the kitchen, the shade-less lamp in the dining area with the amber bulb {where oh where do you get those from??!!} and of course the fabulous long and narrow fauxdenza. Have been a long time fan of those, and yet too big a chicken shit to try one yet.

Back On The Radar

 

I've always been a sucker for good black + white, so no surprises when this place caught my eye.

Seriously jealous of that mercury glass jug, and this bedroom has put the pia wallen blanket I've ummed and aghhhed about for so long firmly back on the radar.

 

*having serious connection problems this week, apologies if there

are any problems with the images, flying a little blind at the moment*
