Cool Combo

Classic cool combo of white, vintage, and collections. It doesn't take much more than that for me to like a place. But chuck in some stellar concrete floors and you know I'm won over don't you.

But apart from my usual tendencies, the little snippet that really wins me over with this place is the slice of turquoise.

If this was my place and that surf board was leaning up against the wall every day, I doubt it would be long before a door (or maybe three or four) were that colour too.

Straight Down

I really liked this home owner's sense of colour. Nothing is too matchy matchy, but nothing is straight down the line safe either.

The whole home is pretty high on the lived in cool barometer actually.

Summer Desire

OK, after yesterday's Friday afternoon exhausted ''give me a dimly lit room and total silence" craving, this little shack pulled me back into the summer desire of a tropical paradise to call my own little slice of heaven for a week or two.

This clean white look and crystal clear turquoise just screams tall glass, sarong and swimming. I particularly liked the clever way they have painted the underside of the tiled roof to finish off the all white look.

Just Because...

...this Holly Fulton dress blew my little mind.

More Appealing

  

  

This home has character, and in bucket loads. The use of up to the minute paper and some boho chic would normally make for text book top marks, but the application of it here is quite individual to my eye, which I find more appealing. Like it. Like it a lot.

A Difference

What a difference a bit of turquoise makes. In a very neutral scheme, that injection of colour is a master stroke.

White And Bleached

Love the sea greens, lime, blues and mauves in this house. Such a stunning combination of colours when used with a white and bleached wood background.

Colour Number

This classicly mega-watt cool home has a lot of ingredients that appeal to me. The B+W art, the chairs, the texture a go-go.

But it won me over with that bam!-let's-add-a-bit-of-colour number right up the top there. And teamed up with an amp in the fire place - well now that's just torturing me.
