Blue and white, hydrangeas and a pool!


It still might be pretty cold in Sydney at the moment, but that certainly isn't stopping me from thinking about summer and time spent around a beautiful pool, sipping a cocktail or two.

This darling outdoor space suits me perfectly with all that blue and white decor and those delightful hydrangeas blooming away on the table. Seems that I do adore coloured piping as well at the moment. What a fabulous place to sit back and relax... Now back to work to focus on 'serious' things!! Kellie xx

A gorgeous, blooming find!


I wanted to show you these gorgeous roses I picked up at my local florist. I have never seen ones like this before, they are giant size with stunning lime green tips! So, so beautiful...

The small things that make my day! Kellie xx

Simple, effective table styling!


I thought I would share with you all this gorgeous, simply styling technique for a table setting. Simply cut the heads of some gorgeous roses, place in a pretty bowl or plate, throw in some gorgeous textiles as napkins and ... Wall-ah! A picture perfect table! Kellie xx

Project joy!


We commenced quite a large styling project for two very lovely clients. Their home, still in the building phase is just starting to come together. We had to share their place with the electricians who were busy working away. It's amazing how new homes can transform from dusty places, with lots of stuff 'hanging' around to beautiful masterpieces.

We are very excited with this project as our clients are very open to lots of wonderful ideas - the perfect kind! And they took us out to lunch after our appointing as they were so appreciative of our team - so very kind and generous!! Kellie xx

A decorative idea


I do quite adore this look. Lots of gorgeous colours, mish-mashed all into one. And so achievable! Thank goodness for ebay and flea markets! Kellie xx

A cooking disaster


This cupcake might look all innocent but it was actually the third attempt at getting them right. My first few batches came out of the oven looking all pretty, then, about 5 mins later they sagged in the middle. When I looked to see what was going on the inside was hollow and there was just a crust! Very very weird!

Perhaps any experienced bakers could shed some light on my cooking "issues"!? Kellie xx

Colourful pleasure


Such a simple image but to me, represents a perfect picture. Colour and prints are so important to me in a room, no matter whether it's indoors or outdoors. The kind that make you look and think springtime all year round. Kellie X
