Finally Friday is upon us again! I am loving this image from Katie Fine. Looking at it makes me want to set up an outdoor afternoon tea because our weather has been perfect (and I want to sample one of those macaroons!). The glimpse of the pool leaves me wondering what other delights may be found in the garden.
I always admire the work of Suzanne Kasler and this guest room she designed is so fresh and bright. I especially love the roman shade and custom headboard in Michael Devine Gramercy fabric and the way it ties together the pillows and trim on the bed linen - coastal chic!
I would love to escape and stimulate my senses this weekend and I have found the perfect spot....Villa Padierna Thermas in Spain. A haven of luxury this spa hotel is nestled amongst olive and almond groves.
Earlier this week I had my wisdom tooth out which left me a somewhat swollen and quiet sore!! I have not had much of a chance to 'blog' this week but want to thank you all for your comments...I really enjoy reading them. 
My weekend real estate stalking has uncovered this landmark home in one of Brisbane's riverside suburbs which has been listed for sale. Its grand proportions are evident from the formal landscaped gardens as you enter through the beautiful iron gates. The home has recently undergone 4 years of renovations.
These lovely room images are from the portfolio of Austin Harrelson a Miami based design firm. He has been previously named by House Beautiful as one of "America's Top Young Designers". 
I am loving the latest pictures of Aerin Lauder's Hamptons house which features in this month's Elle Decor magazine. I adore her vintage Frances Elkins Loop bar stools!
I have blogged about her bedroom before as she used Michael Devine fabric on the walls and bedskirt which is available in Australia through Oliveaux....this image shows another angle of the room. I love how it is really simple allowing the fabric to make a great statement. I also like the boarder detail on the curtains.
