Clean before a break?


My best friend Kate and I had this conversation the other day. For me, before the weekend, I have to clean and re-organise my house. Why? Because I cannot relax knowing that it isn't all sorted. Perhaps cleaning and tidying up means I am letting go of the previous week's work. So tonight you can guarantee i'll be vacuuming, mopping, scrubbing....

For Kate though, she couldn't think of anything worse after a week of work, coming home on a Friday (or for this weekend, a Thursday) and spend the night cleaning. She spends it relaxing and worrying about dusting another day. That night is all about Kate and her partner and spending it just how she pleases.

I kind of wish I could do that but I know i'd try it and be annoyed by every bit of fluff i saw!

Pedantic!? Possibly! Anyone else like me? Kellie x

Kellie's all set...


Lovlies, four fabulous days off as of tomorrow. Is it bad if my head is already there? Nope, didn't think so. And I'm even more relaxed knowing that all my easter egg shopping is finished, done, sorted! I even impressed myself this year. So no last minute shopping trying to find a non-broken chocolate bunny! Enjoy your Thursday! Kellie

Dinner by candlelight, day forgotten


What a day!
A relaxing candlelight dinner with my favourite moscato to make things all seem like a blur... My lovely husband arranged that for me! Thank goodness for Luke x

A ballet inspired lighting


I saw this room over at Made by Girl. Bet you can guess what i first noticed and loved - that tulle around the light! At least it looks like ballet tulle to me!

Then i noticed that stunning fabric on the seating and those pretty, pretty cushions just sitting there looking so loved and comfortable.

I thought about trying this tulle idea myself. Then i realised this may cause potential fire issues if it was to overheat. Hmmm... Possibly one time Luke might not run with my big ideas... Kellie x

A Schmooks wall kind of idea


I spotted these designs on the weekend at the Handmade Market. Aren't they fabulous. Imagine these babies framed up in something white and glossy, clustered on a wall. Divine. And incredibly affordable. For my lovely international readers as well as my local ones, you don't need to attend the market just to see them... They are also available at the Schmooks Esty store. xx


Handmade Market visit...


I had the pleasure of attending the Handmade Market at Canberra on Sunday.

Jules did an amazing job at organising the event which wasn't just in a gorgeous location, the selection of individuals showcasing their creations was fabulous. I have been to lots and lots of markets full of average quality and not so individual designs however this was full of beautiful, beautiful things and wonderful ideas.

Here are two cushions that I picked up for an absolute bargain I might add. I'll show you some of the other wonderful things I spotted over the coming days.

The next market is Saturday, June 5th 2010. I'll be heading there again, if you have a spare weekend, please make the trip! And if you want an insight into the type of designs that were on show, head over here. Kellie x

Green tea and chocolate - what a mix!


I adore green tea - any kind, and since I have started to drink it more and more every day. I actually have quite a collection that I rotate daily just to keep things interesting. Perhaps because i'm no longer having caffeine I do adore my chocolate. Just a little so I don't ruin the goodness of the tea but still, it's a magic combination - day and night!

These are just about the last two hydrangeas in my garden. Things are starting to get cooler in Sydney and my darling flowers are starting to hide away. I'm not sure how I can manage to get mauve and pink on the one flower. It's pretty nonetheless!

Have a great week! Kellie xx

It is a substantially known fact that apiece president adds a bit of his personality into this celebrated house. Be it the bowl of fruit lying on the coffee plateau or his family pictures that spruce up the plateau behind the desk, apiece subtle shift in the design renders the grounded facets of Mr. Obama. And the family’s casual style and choice of affordable yet stylish interiors has transformed this feted house into a family home.

A little road trip for two!


Luke and I are off on a fabulous road trip to visit the Handmade Markets in Canberra today. I hope to show you some pictures from the day and anything lovely I find in my travels! Kellie xx
