Sugar and Spice and All Things Nice

I have always wanted to design a little girls nursery, if I did it might look something like this. I love the mix of old and new, modern crib, crisp white frames, with the more traditional elements, chandelier, vintage chairs and of course pink. Just beautiful.

Cate Blanchett's Home

Cate Blanchett is one of those women who women love. She is talented, stylish, looks happy in her marriage and appears to be a wonderful mother and an added appeal to me is she is a mother of all boys. She seems to live a charmed life but does not flaunt it in our faces. In fact she seems like someone who could just as easily fit in at a picnic in the park as she does at red carpet events.

I love the Jacaranda in full bloom, we have one also and I love it, despite the work that they take to maintain.
I loved hearing that the beautiful home in Belle Feb/March issue was actually hers, I pulled the issue back out quicker than humanly possible and reread every word. I have to admit I love having a sticky beak in the homes of others but the home of Cate and Andrew held a certain appeal. In the issue they mentioned that the home belonged to an Art Lover, I like that they didn’t use the opportunity for some PR like so many celebrities do.

This is the guest room, I think the plane says I have a sense of humour and I don’t need to be taken too seriously.

Cate's house is of course beautiful, stylish and sophisticated yet understated.
