Photographer's Stunning Home!

It's rare that you come across a home that you love everything about , but when I came across this home in House Beautiful I just adored it. It is so simple, uncluttered and light. The owner and decorator is Victoria Pearson, a photographer. Its great to see people decorating to suit their life, not just filling a house with the latest trends. In the article, Victoria talks about her love of green which you can see touches of in every room - another reason why I love all the rooms...







Wow - I wouldn't change a thing. Beautiful.

Classic Tiles...



I have loved these hexagonal tiles for a really long time but always in bathrooms. Lately I've been admiring them in kitchens - they add interest to the space without being domineering. Plain white are stunning but I also love when the black feature tiles are added - so timeless!

This kitchen is a fabulous example of the impact these tiles can have on a kitchen - outstanding!

Of course they still look amazing in a bathroom.

May your weekend be blessed!


Hotel Portofino

Looking forward to a weekend at home with family and friends - Portofino will have to wait... Hope you all have a great weekend!

Classic Black and White


I'm just loving black and white lately and after coming across John Jacob Zwiegelaar's home over at Alkemie, I just fell in love with it. It is rare that you find a room that you wouldn't change a thing about it, but that's how I feel about this room - its simply stunning.
This is the kitchen from the same house. I love the touch of green with the apples and floral displays.

While I'm going on about black and white, I couldn't leave out this gorgeous outdoor area from
BHG. I love black and white awnings - they can turn a really boring house into something special without a huge expense.

Again, Black and White striped outdoor cushions against an all white background look absolutely outstanding. I also love the outdoor fireplace - looks very inviting right now with our cold snap.

Aqualina Ocean Resort
On such a cold winter's day in Brisbane, I thought we could use some images of beautiful places where we could relax and warm up (I know the weekend is over, but mine was so busy I need another one). All the pictures in this post come from some of the nicest hotels in South
Beach, Miami.


Aqualina Ocean Resort

Can't you imagine a beautiful breakfast out on this terrace.

Delano Hotel

Okay, and this one too (I'm not picky).

Delano Hotel

A great place for an imtimate dinner party with close friends.

Victor Hotel Lobby

I couldn't go past the green lobby - what's not to love.

Loews Hotel Poolside Cabanas
A bit of light reading after breakfast.

Mandarin-Oriental Hotel

A little sunbaking because you couldn't come home without a tan.

Victor Hotel

Not usually into red but this looks quite striking with the black and white cushions and the soft lighting from the candles and fairy lights.

Delano Hotel

It's green - need I say more! So relaxing.


Aqualina Hotel

Don't like the colour of the deck chair cushions but love the formality with the gorgous pots and topiaries.

The Raleigh Hotel

The colouring here is just so perfect for a balmy night in South Beach - cream with black is a perfect combination.

Segamore Hotel
How gorgeous is this outdoor dining area?

Like a formal living room outdoors - simply stunning.

So nice to see these neutral colours - very calming.

The Raleigh Hotel Beach Chairs

Love the chairs all lined up on the beach - reminds me of the European beaches.

Well I feel better now! Daydreaming is so good for the soul.
