Cue is 40

I have been wearing Cue to work for as long as I can remember. They are turning 40 and have produced a book of snaps from throughout their 40 years, how sassy is this little number.

Today I love - John Murphy

This morning Sebastian woke me up at 5.30 and as it is Saturday and I am feeling lazy, I put Saturday Disney on but we ended up watching the end of the US show Today. They mentioned John Murphy so after checking out the website I love these limited edition prints. At only $35US I think they would look really cute in my office.

Dreamy Dolls House

My beautiful niece is getting a dolls house for Christmas and I am buying the furniture to go inside. It made me think of this beautiful little dolls house I have had cut out for ages imagining one day I would have something similar for my little girl. But with two boys there will be no dolls houses in sight, today we have spent a lot of the day playing with cars, trucks more cars and more trucks. Lucky I have nieces.
Sorry I don't know where the photo is from but the writing on the bottom looks like Living Etc

Favourite Chairs

Today I saw the post from Anna Spiro from Absolutely Beautiful Things and love her living room. Her chair is beautiful, the fabric Divine. I have been on the hunt for two chairs for my living room although probably a little smaller than Anna's. Here are some of my favourite chair shots, I am picking the fabric although I still haven't found the right chairs yet.


The photo above is from Anna Spiro's Living Room with the beautiful chair.
I love the fabric on this chair, big stripes with lots of colour. Unfortunately I can't remember where I got this photo from.

I love these chairs and the fabric, actually the whole setting. This photo is from Dominomag.

These dining chairs are Divine, I love the use of the two fabrics. Gorgeous.

I love the simplicity of this one, a gorgeous chair in pale pink. This photo is from LivingEtc.

Cute Kids

I love the styling of these photos from Ouchclothing.com.au.

Christmas Style

I am ridiculously into Christmas decorating this year as my kids are the perfect age for it and love anything Christmas. I love these images from Domino mag to put me in the mood and they are in the same colour scheme as I am decorating in this year.

Christmas Wrapping

I thought I would make the most of being sick, I have wrapped up my Christmas Presents today while the kids are away. One of my sons asked for Mato from the Cars movie, I hate buying those plastic battery operated toys, but hopefully Santa won't mind. And my other son who is only 22 months asked for undies, very cute, he really wants to be a big boy like his brother. I am searching for cute undies, without the wiggles, or any other characters but it is proving hard.

Today I Love: Penguin Books

I love the covers of these penguin books, I hope they come to Australia!!! I could imagine a my whole bookshelf with all the classics looking this beautiful.

Lying in Bed

It has been a long time between posts and doesn't time fly. It is a beautiful sunny day today in Sydney and it is my birthday but I am lying in bed feeling very sick with aches and pains all over. Although I love my bedroom here are some of my other favourites while I am thinking of nothing other than a cozy doona, a soft pillow and a stylish bed.

My Front Garden

In our small inner-city garden all the flowers are out which is so beautiful and the smell is amazing, currently we have jasmine, a jacaranda, cherry blossom, and gardenias blooming which is pretty much every plant or tree we own. This is the front garden, and my boys in their pajamas helping daddy do a clean up. Amazing how exciting gardening is when you are young.

Coco Avant Chanel

I can't wait to see this movie, two things I Love, Coco Chanel and movies with Audrey Tatou. But it seems we still have a while to wait in Australia.

Good Food Affare

There is a Good Food Affare being help from November 21st to the 23rd in Castle Hill, Sydney. The styling and brochure for the event has been so outstanding I can't wait to go. There is going to be food, flowers, growers and makers, cafe, coffee, cheese, a tea room, cakes.... the list goes on and on and everything looks and sounds so good. Oh and the beautiful pictures, I can hardly get to the words as I am too busy eating up the pictures.
Here is the website www.goodfoodaffare.com.au

A Beautiful House

Well its no surprise that I have a love of Queensland houses and Terrace houses but as of late I seem to be finding quite a few Qlder's I am falling for. This one is currently for sale and if I was in the market or the price category I would jump. It is a renovated house but with all the modern conveniences. For some reason I would never want a new Qlder or terrace it feels a little like having a fake bag a big no no. A new California bungalow well that is a different story perhaps because I don't know the history of the house.


Very cute on the outside, I love the grey.


This is the ensuite bathroom to the master bedroom and from the plans the dressing room looks equally large, how indulgent. This room seems to be created from what was traditionally the enclosed veranda, very clever and something I haven't seen done much before but I love it.

Beautiful room for the Qlds lifestyle.

Kelly Wearstler Inspired Garden

In this months home beautiful magazine there is a glamorous home created by a family on a budget, I always love to see what people can do especially with budgetary restraints. My favourite picture is the one below of the garden room. They have installed curtains that work beautifully with the rustic brick wall behind.

As soon as I saw these pictures they reminded me of the glamorous Kelly Wearstler, due to the cabana curtain.
The photo above also looks very Ms Wearstler inspired doing house hold chores all dressed up.
This photo is from Modern Glamour, one of my favourite books with the very similar cabana curtain.

Welcome To The Sticks

Last night I went to the movies with some girlfriends, we saw 'Welcome To The Sticks' it is an extremely funny French film, which has become so popular in France it has over taken the Titanic and has become the biggest success in French history. Highly recommend it for a laugh. The next on my list is Caramel, which is also a french movie and looks like a great girly film.

How Much Is That Doggie In The Window

Although I am an animal lover I generally like the idea more than the reality of having a dog, particularly with the extra work load and poop duty. But if I do ever have a dog I want to have a seriously glam dog house, here is some inspiration.

The last 4 shots are all doghouses from barchiture who have very cleverly created some seriously stylish abodes. However their website seems to have disappeared so I will need to use them more as inspiration. I hope they haven't gone out of business.

The 1st photo is from Belle, all other photos I have lost the resource.
