Recent antique spotting (& hinting)...

Here are some of my recent favourite pieces I recently saw at an antique store around the corner of my home. How gorgeous would that chair and commode be with a gorgeous touch of bright paint along with a delightful print on that chair! So many places in my home these would work wonderfully (hint hint Luke if you are reading!?) Kellie xxx

Sleeping and glossy floors

It's a long weekend in Sydney this weekend and I cannot wait. Lots of time for sleeping in and relaxing. On a side note, how stunning are those glossy floors in that shot! Divine! Kellie xx

A colourful favourite

I had a quick look through Lonny last night and it looks like a gorgeous issue - so looking forward to going through it more closely over the weekend! I did however spot this interior, that I have to say, is my absolute favourite. Pattern on pattern and colour galore - magic, just magic. Kellie xx

Pampering tonight!

Just thought I'd drop in to say a quick hello. I'm off to the hairdressers tonight for a cut, colour and blow dry. You know, the one thing I love about going to the hairdressers, I don't have to worry about doing my hair the next day. I get up and do a quick fix then I'm out the door.

I have always admired those people who have silky straight hair who simply give their hair a brush and it's all glamourous! Lucky things! Kellie xx

Adoring all of it

What a beautiful shot, so many things I adore here. The soft blue and grey on the exterior of the home, the stunning tree with the blooms floating on the grass and then there's the stunning table. I could imagine the beautiful glassware and candy coloured cakes there as well. Waiting for the guests to enjoy them. Have a lovely Thursday. Kellie xx

Beautiful gold..

Muted gold, what a gorgeous feel. It lends itself to so many environments from bathrooms, to living spaces to fashion. I also spotted a matt gold cutlery set that I fell in love with. Sounds possibly a little tacky but because it wasn't glossy it worked perfectly well. I wonder what food would taste like using gold cutlery!? Kellie xx

Something fashionable. Something pretty.

Occasionally I get really obsessed by a fashion designer. Right now, I can't get enough of By Malene Birger. The designs are so feminine, stylish and the detail is amazing. I have selected a few of my favourites from the current collection.

I'm very excited about a By Malene Birger dress that I have ordered from the US that is on it's way... I have a dinner coming up next month and I needed something 'serious' but still 'me'... Can't wait for it to land in my hands... Kellie xx

A design-ish kind of evening

Busy night tonight. Heading off to talk website design and details - the real nitty gritty. I have done all the planning to hopefully make it a painless and simple process and really looking forward to see things starting to come to life. It feels like i'm back at uni again with all the reading and organising!

On a side note, I so adore that sofa. Have seen something like this for Ada & Darcy that I think will be a beautiful edition to the furniture range! One for the shop... One for me! Kellie xx

An Ada & Darcy Style - Thai Green Chicken Curry!

I'm not much of a chef, actually I'm generally a pretty boring cook so imagine Luke's delight last night when I decided to cook a Thai Green Chicken Curry. And his absolute surprise when it turned out delicious! There is hope for me yet. Replicate it {here} ... xxx

A camera-less weekend but a gorgeous find...

I had a lovely weekend, it poured with rain in the car all the way to Berry Friday night and I was thinking it was going to be a horrible wet weekend and we would be stuck inside without much to do. Instead the weather turned out to be lovely and there was plenty of opportunity to enjoy the gorgeous shops and delightful places to eat.

Unfortunately I left home with a flat camera battery (oops I know) but I did however find a gorgeous ginger jar at the monthly Berry markets. Its hiding away in that first shot, then in the second, its shining away in all it's glory and you can see the detail so well. The gorgeous blue with the gold is so pretty and it will look delightful with a bunch of flowers... I'm off to the flower markets this week so I'll take a picture of it as a vase this weekend!

A velvet obsession...

I can't get enough of velvet right now. Sofa's or cushions, I don't really mind. There is something so luxurious, glamourous and welcoming about velvet in interiors!

A little dog of mine, who shall not be named... Decided to pull the piping off one of my chairs which has meant that it is definitely in need of some re-covering... I'm thinking some hot pink velvet would work a treat! And dog proof too! Kellie xx

Rustic charm

Since we are having a mini holiday, no chance to visit the flower markets this weekend. I thought these babies may just do the trick instead! Very rustic and full of charm. Just like our holiday destination. Have a delightful Sunday xx
