Thanks to Collette Dinnigan revealing some hot spots to visit in France one stood out the most "Chateau Robert" to visit the website go to www.chateaurobertfrance.com the chateau is gorgeous and available to rent. I'm off this week-end to Melbourne to finalise my Xmas buying for lily-g its hard to believe that in 3 months our Xmas will be in store not that I'm complaining its definitely my favourite time of year. Have a great week-end and see you all next week x


Hampton lights

Our new Hampton lights are stunning, great over a dining table or a set of three above the kitchen island bench, hopefully they will be put up on display at lily-g next week.

My love of White.....






















Just thought I would post some of my "I love White" images. Creating an all white colour scheme using textures of painted white furniture rubbed back to reveal aged timbers, adding silver pieces and white linen loose covers, white shells in bowls or clusters of coral, creates the most beautiful of interiors. My favourite Scandinavian blogs are so clever in creating this look that keeps me so forever inspired.

More neutral looks

How stunning is this room with the iron day-bed, the chandelier, the scalloped edge coffee table and the stone coloured wall. For us Aussies Porters Paints has a colour called "Icelandic stone" which I use alot in my decorating and is very similiar to this wall colour.

Button mad!

I found this image in country home edition and I just loved this collection of all neutral buttons, my three year old would have a great time going through those buttons!

Sea Shells

My home is filled with bowls of shells that I have collected with my children, adding candles makes an inexpensive beautiful display.

A different angle

Just thought I would show the other part of the room, to the left must be where the children sit, doesn't it look so homey and welcoming!
