The Summer House

...great outside pavillon
...great kitchen

...beautiful
I am a bit or a lot of a Gypsy at heart and love to travel. I love staying in places that

exceed my expectations for what every reason - great wine, great food, great view, great company. I would love to stay at The Summer House in South Australia and I think the Great Decor would be a great reason to stay...too many greats...

Frills or Ruffles

I really love this headboard!!

Not a frill or ruffle in sight...I have been asked to design a bedroom for a girl...big deal I here you say, well I am not a girlie/girl( boys styling is more my thing) I like a mix of understated elegance with a bit of boho glam and just because I could fall asleep in any of these rooms I am hoping She can as well...

Wallpaper Obession

maybe this is too loud...but it is beautiful!

inspired... by Florence Broadhurst

Obsessing over wallpaper at the moment...I am planning to add a wallpaper feature wall in my new ensuite, nothing to loud or to feminine...

Why are Great Rooms great!

Were do you start when you love each of these Beautiful Great Rooms. Clean and uncluttered with a couple of great lamps, definitely an ottoman, an over sized coffee table or 2 and another piece of unique furniture/painting...some day I will have my own photos of my Beautiful Great Room to show you, until then I will continue collecting ideas...

Not Victims...Survivers

The bush fires in Victoria this week have been so destructive and so many people have been left with nothing...it is with great pride I see the Australian people come together and raise money for fellow Australians who have to start all over again...at the last count we have raised over 66 million dollars and it is only Thursday!

Thank you

Today I received my very first comment...this was very exciting and unexpected, it came all the way from Germany, just proving how small Blogland really is. Anyway I have a smile from ear to ear, so THANK YOU You-Wee for your very kind words of encouragement.
