Something bright in the mail...


These pretty little lovelies arrived from this Esty Store. I promise to show you them looking all bright and new on our lounge. I did however find a little certain puppy dog named Molly chewing on the little cream pom poms on the top cover. I definitely won't be leaving it in anyone's reach whilst I head off to work this morning as i'll absolutely come home and the little detailing will be shredded across the house!! Kellie xx

Project neat desk...


What a lovely way to store office supplies. Perhaps I need to organise something pretty like this for me desk then I would definitely keep it neat and tidy. Or so I conveniently tell myself!!! Kellie xx

Sharing your tips with me! Please?!


Luke is getting himself organised to hang this wallpaper. I received some fabulous advice from Mel's Rose Place ; "One thing i found with the glue is that it stays wet for a LONG time so there is no rush in getting it all up quickly. Think that is where i went a bit wrong in that i tried to rush it believing that the glue was about to dry. Mine was a powder that you mixed up into a glue , like a cake mix!! I also found it was easier to trim once it was all dry and now being day 2 mine looks 100% better than it did yesterday."

This lovely advice made me realise, there are so many clever people out there, surely I can use your knowledge to help Luke along? I would love to hear from you if you have hung wallpaper, read anything about hanging wallpaper or perhaps you just have well something good or bad to say about it! Thank you from me and a BIG thank you from Luke in advance. Kellie xx

A post full of pretty!


Splashes of colour, lovely prints, flowers everywhere. I whole lot of gorgeous I think! Kellie xx

Off to the hardware store!


We are off to the hardware store to buy glue for our wallpaper. That will be where my help ends. Luke will take over from there as he has amazing attention to detail and is incredibly patient. Two very important features that I well and truly lack! Once you are aware of these development areas that's the way to start - right? Kellie xx

A whole lot of interesting


I spotted this house and what most appealed to me, was the mix of style. I think it works fabulously. Kellie xx

Fancy a cup of tea?


One of the things I love about the weekend is doing things you don't really have time to do and enjoy during the week. Like tea - pots of lovely fresh tea! Kellie xx

Something lovely by dusk...


Such a dreamy space. Stylish and ornate yet warm and inviting. The gorgeous fabrics here work perfectly. Wouldn't it be lovely to have your favourite dinner, a lovely bottle of wine with some fabulous company here. Kellie xx

Two models wearing Amy Butler!


My two models are showing you the pretty colourful cushions I ended up finding a few lovely ones from the PillowMio in some gorgeous Amy Butler fabric. The colours are really lovely and work well with the other bits and pieces I have around our home. Kellie xx

A lovely arrangement!


I am collecting other inspirational photos for my friend Sarah who is recently engaged. This is another beauty that I know she will adore. Personally, i'm loving all the vintage jars and vessels for the flowers. Beautiful!! Kellie xx

Keep your eye out!


Two things I am on the hunt for at the moment. Stunning white frames with gorgeous detailing as well as vintage lace to be used on our dining table. Something rustic and charming, full of character.

Something sweet!


It's my husband Luke's birthday on the weekend. And very importantly we need something delicious for dessert. Whilst normally I would try my luck in the kitchen we recently discovered a little patisserie close by that makes the most divine lemon meringue pie. So in consultation with Luke we are having one of these little babies in the shot for dessert!

Since I have dessert on the mind, tell me, what is your favourite dessert? Kellie xx Ps.
