Inspiration & Art
I adore the work of Mariska Meijers... Not just because she is lovely, talented and one fabulous artist, I admire her will and determination to take the plunge away from a corporate role and move into a lifetime of creativity. Having a similar career background, moving away from everything I know and are comfortable with gives me butterflies. Then i just need to look at Mariska for inspiration - love that about her. xx
Red trim - a winner!
I tend to never be drawn to red in interiors. I a bit the same with clothing as well, like it on others, just not for me. I think it's to do with me having blonde hair or something silly like that. I did however adore the red in this delightful outdoor space. The red trim on seating look amazing, especially teamed up with the black, high gloss cane. There is still hope for me and red to develop a strong, long term relationship! Kellie xx

Simple combinations...
It's amazing how the simple thing grab us. I adore the details in this lovely wedding. The soft turquoise is so lovely with the white and soft pink. Also loving that silver vessel with the mismatched glass vases. Simple, effective and interesting styling. Always works so well. x
A lamp-ish heaven!
I had a fun night last night playing with gorgeous, bright, glossy ceramic lamps! Too many to choose from a might add... row after row of them. In every colour and style you could think of. Lamp heaven you might call it! Some for the upcoming shop and some, well maybe a couple for me. Kellie xx

A new painting itch...
I have an itch. That itch is to paint our dining room table. Something bright and bold. Perhaps turquoise. I found this inspiration as examples of how gorgeous paint can look and how it can transform a piece of furniture. Now to convince the husband this would a fabulous thing for him to do for me... Wish me the best of luck! Kellie xx
More tea, baking and family!
Seems I have tea and cakes on my mind this week. Must be because my delightful sister in law (and her wonderful husband and three gorgeous girls) are coming to visit this weekend. I have spoken about Nicole before who not only has a teacup collection of enormous proportions, she is also the queen of baking! Luckily she won't be seeing my disastrous macarons this weekend... Perhaps I need to make some fool proof cupcakes instead... Kellie xx

Garden party...
I thought this was a gorgeous image! Those large glass windows, the white furniture, the soft floral arrangements and the beautiful trees in the background. The perfect setting for a divine lunch... Kellie xx
Tea-love!
Being a tea lover, I have adored Katy Pott's range for a while now and was delighted to see she had added more teapot and teacups to her range! So, so gorgeous! And to make things even more exciting, she ships to Australia!
Have a gorgeous day, even if it is freezing cold in Sydney! Kellie xx

Cushion and two girls!
Whilst I adore cushions {as I am sure you all probably know by now}, I have always had someone else make them for me .. Until now! Mum and I went on a cushion making class on Friday, whilst I only had one teeny tiny incident with a zipper, I ended up with a pretty good product. Not sure how long those pretty little bobbles will last with Miss Molly but they look very sweet nonetheless. Lily quite likes it as well! Kellie xx

A baking (sort of) disaster!
Well... My baking of macarons (or macaroons - i can't seem to find consistent spelling) wasn't so successful. Whilst they tasted delicious, they looked, well, a bit like golf balls when they were joined together. Rookie error - thinking they would flatten out with the heat! Sadly, they just were too ah, ugly (and embarrassing) to show you all... There is always next weekend! Kellie xx
