Beautiful Rooms







Each of these rooms are very different yet equally elegant.  The use of prints and textures evokes so many different feelings for me (all wonderful of course).

Beautiful chandeliers

I love chandeliers, especially when they are grouped together. It is so dramatic and offers such an interesting feel. Both these designs below are gorgeous - eclectic, engaging and glamorous!



I love the striped print in this image above, it is so unexpected but works amazingly well.

Gorgeous outdoor furniture



Kate, my talented best friend recently shared with me this Robert Plumb faux bamboo outdoor furniture range and i have to say, i adore it! The colours are lovely and the printed fabric is such a refreshing change to the outdoor furniture we have been seeing of late!

Birthday flowers

It was birthday today and my dearest best friend Kate had these gorgeous flowers delivered to my work today as a lovely surprise! As you can see my divine hydrangeas are there, as well a mix of Kate's favourites. The flowers were wrapped in the black and printed paper featured and this beautiful paper framed the arrangement perfectly.
 

Kate has such perfect taste and is so kind, beautiful and talented! 




I took these pictures on my new camera, even though i'm still learning how to best use it, i am really happy with how well these photos have come out!

Spring garden... Where has the warm weather gone?



I found this picture on Elle Decor, the table top is so pretty. I also love all the flowers and bright cushions that deliver such a lovely and sweet vibe. Its getting colder here in Sydney as we are moving closer to winter, this picture makes me think of a sunny, spring Sunday morning... Sitting in the sun with a newspaper, pot of tea, my husband and my gorgeous dog Lily.



Tea anyone?

Oh i love feminine, soft and elegant bathrooms!


There is something so peaceful and lovely about a soft and serene bathroom. I love the rustic bath and stunning white linen. I wish i had more time to relax and enjoy my bath........


I do adore candles flickering away in the daylight, it offers such a unique and different feeling to lighting a candle in the evening. A friend recently asked me, what do you do when you get home from work or wake up in the morning - turn the tv or music on? Neither, just light my lovely candles and i'm happy :)

I recently was given some cuttings of some Florence Broadhurst prints and had the pair framed. I love that i can change them to suit any room in my home. Kellie x

Mmmmm.... Prints

 

I love prints and i'm always trying to find something interesting and different. I recently discovered these gorgeous designs from Yellena at Esty and was so impressed with the use of colours, detail and texture. Check out Yellena's Esty store to see more of her great designs!

Freshening up your home with cushions



For me, freshening up my home is really important. It makes me feel comfortable, happy and most of all satisfied when i look around. Of course changing the lounge is expensive and practical so changing my cushions, purchasing news ones and swapping them around is such an easy and quick way to make the home feel gorgeous again. I have selected a just a few of my favourites although there are so many gorgeous designs out there. Anything Missoni is fabulous and will last a lifetime but also very pricey, i have found my favourite Missoni one for the moment and also some other lovely alternatives to suit any lounge, chair or bed. Personally i love to mix my styles up a bit and to keep things a bit interesting!!

I so love this fabulous round design from Missoni, the edging is so interesting but also softens the strong red print.



 I'm also so loving this other round one from Lazy Bones in Ava Print. I recently saw this one at a design expo, it was so soft and cuddly i didn't want to put it down!!



Look at these gorgeous Thomas Paul cushions, you just turn them over for a completely different look! Perfect to add variety but also so friendly on the purse :)

Stay tuned for more updates on my cushion obsession... Kellie xx
