Yesterday I came across this beautiful country home which features in this months Australian House & Garden magazine that I just have to keep. A New England style home with touches of American architecture, I love the wide drive and hedged formal garden, the french gray colour scheme and white accent...a perfect country home in the Southern Highlands of NSW.

I Love the European oak parquetry floors...also the lantern in the double height entry is beautiful, I like the way it picks up on the colour of the stair balustrade.

The home features this lovely white kitchen and gray stone bench top. The open shelves with matching jars of ingredients make a nice statement.
