What I am liking...tables and artwork

The above room is not from Designer's Guild but found via Decoratualma.

Designer Guild Source

Every time I come across a Designer Guild picture, filled with the most breathtaking interior shots possible, I always wonder what has happened to them in Australia? I remember Myers use to stock all the bedlinen from this company but now, I haven't seen it in shops for years. I did buy some beautiful sheets from the range (cost me a fortune) but I was very disappointed in the quality. I'm sure there are many stockists sell the exquisite wallpaper and fabrics but I think I will just sigh from afar and be content looking at pictures.
What I am liking above the first photo however is that gorgeous teacup artwork. My eyes just seem to be drawn to it every time.

Nothing more beautiful than a gorgeous table laden with white flowers, candles and crystal. This picture just makes me want to sigh every time I look at it. So simple, slightly rustic but elegant all rolled into one. What is it about white flowers and crystal...truly the perfect combination.
On a side note, I have finally discovered pinterest with a passion. I still am not sure how it works so I hope I have given credit to the source. Anyhoo, I have tried my best so if I have used a photo without the correct source, please let me know (kindly).

Love, love, love this table setting. See that  steel bucket with the apples, well for my son's 18th birthday party, my friend lent me a beautiful champagne bucket to hold...well champagne bottles of course and it was the center piece of the whole drinks table. A stainless steel Champagne Bucket is a must for any party! Everything just seems to be so elegant yet casual on this table and I would think a very easy style to replicate.

Once again, mixture of candles, thick white tablecloth with darker accents, all make a beautiful table.

Sigh...

This I have got to have...the Chanel Posters! I know this outrageously gorgeous picture has been making the 'blog house rounds' but I just love it!
Has anybody had any luck in finding these Chanel Posters on ebay?...apparently this is where the owner obtained them. Maybe I should ask my bloggy expert on all things to do with Chanel and makeup... Alexandria Emporium

Style at Home

Could you imagine being invited over for a 'bestie' (love this term, makes me feel 16 again) get together and walking into the room to this beautiful set table. Seriously, wouldn't you feel that you are being indulged and loved being entertained in a home like this.

Last of all, that picture of a Westie makes my heart melt.
And that vase on the left side table just creates the most lovely visual.

On a side note...Have you noticed all my pictures are BIG! Still tweaking my blog, more work to do on trying to center my header picture...it just wants to stay lopsided.

Finally, I promise this blog will get better as I work through all my little problems so please come back and visit!

Morning...


 Morning time at my house. The sun streams in as we face a northerly east direction (I think that's right?) curtains go up then promptly they go down again due to the glare from the sun. As you can see from the photo below, we get the morning sun but sometimes it is too bright although it gives the house warmth immediately. Hard to believe but this is Melbourne in winter time. Even though the weather forecast is rain and hail, it is still warm enough to open the doors and let the fresh air waffle in. The flowers are from Mr B this morning...no special occasion, just because he knows I love flowers in the house when we have guests over. Tonight I have 2 friends and their families for tea OMG...my hostessing skills definitely need to be polished as I kind off freak out when I entertain. With 6 adults and 6 kids to feed tonight, I will be having a busy day cleaning the house to make it shine.


A few little tablescapes I have happening on benches and tables, forever moving pretties around, finding the right home for them. The picture of the girl above was given to me for my birthday from a dear friend. Below is just a small collection of some of the perfumes I have. The pretty watch I bought from a stall at Matilda's Market for around $30. I have received so many nice comments about my 'bling' that I feel special every time I wear it.

Have a Wonderful Day!
