All white mood

A white mood is a great mood to be in, I say. White represents purity, sincerity, gentleness, peace and all the lovely things we can think of...Being in such a mood is heavenly and truly special.

At home white helps us to relax and to clear our heads. It's a very easy colour to live with and a wonderful backdrop for all our art and other collections...Plus it looks good everywhere and with pretty much everything...Add a zebra hide to an all white scheme and you've got glamour, add a splash of colour to it and you've got freshness, add black and you've got perfection...

And I love white at Xmas, my favourite decorations are white angels and snow flakes...:))

Artistic licence

There's something incredibly poetic about David Bromley and his work. I find his art inspirational, fascinating...just wonderful.

Today I'm inspired by beauty, style, charm, creativity, colour and great interiors...

Check out Marc Jacobs and his Paris apartment (top three pics), a great Tiffany advert and more...

Have a great day :))

Handmade angels

My youngest daughter Georgia and I had a lot of fun making angels last night, it was just magic...children make everything so special with their excitement and they're incredible enthusiasm for the little things in life, I can't even begin to describe the joy they are capable to transmit to an adult - it even works on a tired and stressed one like me - but of course you already know the sort of feeling I am talking about if you are a parent. Hope you like the angels I made with my little angel :))

Nostalgia...

One of those days in Sydney...rainy and cold - wrong weather for this time of the year -

I'm in a bit of a nostalgic mood...:))

A bit of Christmas magic

I found this image looking through an old issue of the Australian House and Garden magazine and I just couldn't resist it! There's something incredibly charming about the beautiful mirror, the writing on it and the xmas tree in the reflection...don't you agree?
