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.
