Welcoming colour....

Today I am loving this entryway. The combination of the dark timber floors, white walls and pop of colour the fabrics and lamp add to the space....love it!

Blue + white inspiration...

Kitchens are always one of my favourite rooms. The blue and white gives this kitchen and dining room a beautiful fresh feel....I love how light this space is.

and this last photo makes me want to set my table for afternoon tea. Maybe its because mine has work spread all over it this afternoon! Hope you all have a wonderful start to your week....Ax

Flowers....

We have been buying the most stunning lilies for the showroom at the moment.

They are always perfect this time of year and the scent is as equally amazing...Ax

Whimsical fabrics...

We always love finding gorgeous new fabrics at Oliveaux. These beautiful screen printed, certified organic fabrics are designed by Tara Davy for her new collection which is now available from Kelani Fabrics. We think her whimsical hot balloon design is very cute and even better we love to support Australian made products at Oliveaux.

Beautiful outdoor spaces

Gorgeous sunny outdoor inspiration for Friday...sitting looking out the window of my office at the beautiful sunshine here in Brisbane this morning. I love outdoor spaces and rooms which can be used for relaxing and entertaining.

I love the pop of colour that these Kathryn Ireland outdoor fabrics give to this pool space. Kathryn Ireland fabrics are just one of our great fabric ranges available at Oliveaux.

I can imagine having lunch here at this table...

I love the old stone and the view beyond the arch is amazing!

Hope you all have a great Friday as we start thinking about the weekend...Ax

all eyes on London....

We have only had a three day work week here in Australia....and hasn't it gone so quickly! I have crammed as much work into the short as possible and now its time for another long weekend for us in Queensland. So I finally have just a moment to update the blog before heading out for the weekend. With all eye's on London this week I thought I should end it with some London property stalking. This semi-detached family house is currently on the market....

I would love to own a kitchen with an AGA in it....

and a beautiful large family bathroom.

Even the garden shed is gorgeous!

Have a great weekend....Ax

Launch Buzz...

Everyone is a buzz with the launch of the latest online magazine TradHome...be sure to check out some wonderful inspiration. Congratulations to Lonny Mag and Traditional Home on this latest collaboration. Its beautiful.

A classic white kitchen...

Always so many beautiful kitchens to admire and here is another... Classic white cabinets and honed marble gives this kitchen its organic character. Accentuated by the pair of polished nickel lanterns over the island bench and nickel hardware, this kitchen provides plenty of space for family cooking. The large range adds a wonderful focal point to the room. I imagine this kitchen would be the heart of this home.

Hicks candles...

A collaboration between the sophistication of Jo Malone and design by the legendary, David Hicks has resulted in these beautiful limited edition candles.

Any one of these would be a welcomed addition to my home! Which one would you choose?
