Is anyone else struggling to get back into things after holidays? Yesterday was our first day back at work and after an exceptional coffee we, surprisingly, had a very productive day. I have so many plans for this year, the first of which is decluttering my own house. Holidays have been a great opportunity for this and many cupboards have been cleared out. This is such a great way to start the year as it stops you from getting trapped into a particular style - sometimes we have to acknowledge that we have moved on from something and make room for a new passion.
The following pictures are my inspiration for all the projects I want to achieve in my home over the next twelve months (OK probably more like 5 years but I'm optimistic):

I want to create a stunning small office space that I can feel inspired in!

I want a couple of built in book shelves downstairs so we can finally unpack our boxes of books!

I want to update our staircase with new sisal carpet and a gorgeous rail such as this - my husband was a little shocked when I showed him this!

And as I've mentioned before, I want a new kitchen, preferably as black and as gorgeous as this one!

And finally I would love to update our bathrooms - maybe not quite as elaborately as this one but you get the picture. Well you have to dream big don't you? I hope you all have big dreams and plans for the year ahead because that's what makes it exciting! Tracey x

Tracey, those are some wonderful goals.
With images like those how could you not achieve them?

looks like you have an exciting year ahead, love the staircase the most but all the images are beautiful i could have one of each. When I look back over my life I have had so many different styles of homes and furniture luckily we are in the industry that makes it easier to change and by the look of things you both have great taste and loads of inspiration, I wish you both the best year ever and look forward to our blogging morning tea x
I would like to rejig my desk and work space too - reading your post has made me think get a move on with it. Thank you, xv.
That staircase was just beautiful. I actually loved all of your sources of inspiration. Very exciting plans, hopefully you'll post pictures of the results here :)
Happy New Year Tracey. I think all your plans sound fantastic - good luck with putting it all into fruition, and don't forget to share the results!
I love that desk - I never think about using yellow but it looks fabulous.
Fun, fun, fun. What would there be to do if the whole house was perfect? I don't think I have to worry about finding out.
These ideas are great. I especially love the woven pendant shades in the black and white kitchen. I was eying some along those lines at Ikea. Thinking about how they could become fabulous. Here's my answer. Happy new year.
I love the 1st picture for the organization of magazines ! thanks !
Oh what I would DO for that gorgeous office set up!
hello lovely ladies! happy new year to you both. What lovely ideas Tracey! can't wait to see what you both get upto this year x
New year, and full of inspiration! What a great post. I love these images, and am intrigued with that stair picture.
