The life of my dog!

It's been a tough day for my cavalier Lily; walking at the park, playing in the garden, coming with us to the shops. And now, snoozing on the lounge. Yeah, its been really tough.

Changes are done, i feel so good!

My blog is updated, i have been at it for a while but wow it feels so good :) I hope my blog is fresh, clean and happy, just like this room! Let me know what you think!

Beauty and Lighting

Its finally a sunny Saturday in Sydney and i'm so looking forward to having a potter around with my husband and dog Lily. Its also nice to be able to spend some time on my blog that has been missing over the past couple of weeks :)

I was reading one of my favourite and inspirational blogs, Coco+Kelley and came across these beautiful photos by Sydney photographer Liz Ham. This first photo caught my eye as i adore magnolia trees, when they are in full bloom, their elegance is a delight to the eye and when their petals fall, they make such a beautiful picture on the ground.

The sun coming through this next photograph is just beautiful, i also wouldn't mind that dress that model is wearing! Wonder if anyone knows where it is from?

I'm not quiet sure, why i was so drawn to this 3rd photo. Maybe it is the seagulls flying around or the yellow wig. But then again, it could be the warm sunshine that has been missing in Sydney of late :)

Happy Saturday! I look forward to doing more posts today! Yay! Kellie xx

jkldesign - what a talented artist!

I was browsing through the glorious Esty and came across these beautiful artworks by Leigh, owner and artist of jkldesign. Trusty Google then found me Leigh's lovely blog which really showed me the depth and diversity of Leigh's talent.

I particularly love the femininity, strength and beauty of Leigh's creations.

Leigh's blog also features an interview she did with Ofifteen magazine and i smiled when i learned that Leigh loves to paint in her kitchen! I was also inspired to read that Leigh's artwork is influenced by who she is as a person, "I feel that I want to create from my emotions and experiences from my life and put it into my work. Sometimes it is in a small detail, but all of what I put out comes from within" . Read this fabulous interview here. 

The use of feminine and dramatic colour brings these artworks to life. I hope to be able to share this beautiful art with our clients.

A fabulous thing to sit on... Or two?!?!

I found these amazing pieces at Chivasso who recently showed their amazing work at Maison Objet. I can't help myself,  i alway gravitate to feminine prints, and romantic shapes.

Which is your favourite???

This 18th century style settee is divine, the fabric is so soft and elegant yet it still has a fresh, modern edge.

Look at the fabulous and legs and buttons in this design, i love how eclectic and fresh this design is.

The finish on the frame of the chair works so well with this elegant fabric and colour, i love how the fabric is strategically fitted as a feature on the back of the chair.

I always love white furniture, the variances in the design make such an interesting look. And pink and white always is very special together.

You love, like or are a bit "so so" with my choices???

Beautiful photography & a ballerina. And then there was me...

I have an obsession this week for amazing photography. Plus i have always wanted to be a ballerina, i'm just too tall and hopelessly ungraceful. Maybe i can just wear the gorgeous tangerine ballet shoes instead and pretend...

And of course, then there was me...

But so Woody says...

I love... Posters!

Im really fond of great prints. They are such an easy and inexpensive way to make a room or wall go from bland to so very interesting! I love to mix up my colours and designs, they can be framed or put on the wall as is.

 

I recently saw one of these gorgeous prints on the Coco + Kelley hitlist. After checking out their website, and i absolutely adore the entire Celebrity collection at David Downtown . So stylish and very glamourous.

 

Madebygirl prints always tickle my fancy (and of course there is the great Madebygirl Blog too). 

 

Papaya always offers an array of beautiful images with divine colours. I had trouble selecting my favourite prints!

Pretty flowers and a tea cup

My mum has gorgeous iceberg roses in her garden and the hydrangeas are from my little garden. I love putting small arrangements into small vases and in this case, a tea cup!
