Domino Heaven...

I'm so excited that I finally received my copy of Domino, The Book of Decorating yesterday! It's such a gorgeous cover let alone the stunning images inside. It's going to take a good few cups of tea to get through this beauty! Tracey x

Work in Style...

I just love this office space via Better Homes and Gardens. It's a great mix of styles which really work together well in this room. Pink roses always uplift a room! Happy new week all!

weekend by the sea

This is one of my favorite places to visit in Brisbane. Tracey and I came out to visit our mum and dad who live on the water in Cleveland. It's such a peaceful coastal town, and we had some fun this week taking some photos in one our favorite little spots at Cleveland Point.

This place pictured above is a restaraunt/cafe called the lighthouse. It is very quaint and a lovely way to spend a lazy Sunday.




The lighthouse restaraunt looks out toward Stradbroke Island.

Picture taken of a bust hanging on our parents fence.

The sun was so bright you can't really see the gorgeous Rubie Green fabric coverd stools and Marilyn cushion. They do liik rather sensational, especially here in Queensland by the seaside.

Once again, the picture looks quite washed out from all the sun. The deck chair is covered in Megan fabric which represents Queensland lifestyle to a T. The sttolis yellow Tillinghast. Looks gorgeous really. I will take some better pictures when it's a little overcast.

nice way to spend the day!

Hope you all have a lovely and relaxed weekend and thankyou for all the wonderful comments we have received this week. You are all so sweet!

Small Space Delights!

I love seeing small overlooked spaces such as entries and hallways used as a feature by adding striking wallpapers or turning an area into a picture gallery. These images I saved for that reason - they show how with a little imagination, these spaces can be really special.

Happy New Week!

via Martha Stewart Home

Isn't this house just the perfect package? I love the hedge out the front, the lamp post, the shutters on the windows and the off centre chimney. This is an example of the perfectly presented home! I'm excited to think of the projects that we are going to be working on this week - now I just need to get started! Happy new week!

Weekend Bliss...

via House Beautiful

Don't you love when the weekend arrives at the end of a busy week? I can't wait to put this week behind me after arriving home yesterday to find a snake in my bird cage and my beautiful little finch gone. How distressing! I had to ring the "snake catcher" to remove it as I was so freaked out every time I went outside - well worth the $100 call out fee. Putting it behind me now and focusing on a peaceful weekend. Hope you all have a good one! Tracey x

Jonathan Adler Green!

We all know that green is my favourite colour and you all may be a little sick of how often it pops up in our Porchlight posts but I just had to share my love of these Jonathan Adler interiors featuring a unique shade of the above mentioned colour. How gorgeous are the green chippendale chairs?

Be A Hero Australia - the MIRACLE Zone

What an awesome opportunity for us to unite in our way of thinking and reach out to those in greater need. Tracey and I have been helping to raise money for this particular project

Be A Hero Australia - the MIRACLE Zone

since this time last year when we met David from Be a Hero Australia while we were about to do a house for lady wanting to sell. David was renting the home at the time and was very keen for us to hear about his project. When my husband got hold of the information given to us by David, he was really moved to help. Take a look at their website, I'm sure you will be too!

It's All in The Details!

I love to see collections of beautiful things displayed throughout the home. These pieces can add so much interest to a room and they don't have to take a huge amount of space. These images are from Tine K Home and Chenille Home. Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Wall of Books...

via O at Home

I just love bookshelves behind lounges like these images. Its such a gorgeous and interesting backdrop - like a big wall of art that can be ever changing. The top image is Oprah's private library. The second image I had saved from I Suwannee blog - its just gorgeous.

At Last...The Weekend!

Wishing all a happy and restful weekend! It's the end of school holidays here in Queensland and I must say I am looking forward to some quiet time next week - not that I don't love doing my shopping with three boys. Love this image via Donna Hay's website - the styling in all her cookbooks are just so gorgeous.

Green and White Living...

How exciting it is for me to see white rooms with green as an accent colour. It is such a fresh look that always attracts me. These are just a collection of some of my favourite images. I especially love the top one which was recently featured on Desire to Inspire blog showing the impact of adding green plants back into our interiors.

Comfort of Home...

A week away camping was fun, relaxing and renewing (a complete escape from everyday life), however, it's always great to come home to a bit of comfort. These gorgeous images from NZ House and Garden got me excited about making a few Spring changes around my house...so good to be home.

What a stunning floral arrangement, so simple and fresh.

I need a cooker like this one (but then I would feel like I had to use it).

Love the gorgeous windows in the background.

Just love everything about this bathroom - the blind is particularly gorgeous.

Gone Camping...

Well we are off first thing tomorrow morning for 9 days of camping with family and friends - the kids are beside themselves with excitement while we are so frazzled from the packing and organising that we may have to sleep for a day or two to recover. I'm sure it will be great. Will leave you with this gorgeous camp set up by Cath Kidston and see you all when we get back. Tracey x

The Ultimate Workroom...

While browsing some of my favourite blogs this morning, I came across a new blog called Le Petit Cabinet De Curiosites via Katie Did blog. These photos were taken by Melanie in Prelle's showroom - one of the oldest fabric factories in France (started in 1752).

I would so love to be able to look through these old bolts of fabric so stunningly displayed in this timber cabinet.

How stunning are these fabrics and so beautifully displayed. I would love to recreate a showroom to look like this. Now which of these gorgeous fabrics should we reupholster those Louis chairs in?

Quiet Moment!

I via House and Garden

Any mother of boys will tell you that there is rarely a quiet moment. Maybe that is why this picture really appeals to me. If my bathroom was big enough I would love to have three trough basins in a row like this just to avoid arguments in the morning. So cute!

Relax, its the weekend!

via Simply Seleta Blog

Only one week to go until we go away camping with all our extended family and lots of kids. I'm trying to feel inspired with this gorgeous photo. Well it looks relaxing, doesn't it? Hope you all have a happy and relaxing weekend.
