Layered & collected

So much interest in these beautifully layered rooms.

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

Beautiful bathroom...

For me my dream bathroom would always be a place of calm and definitely a have large bath to soak in. I am a believer in the restorative powers of a bath, as well as being one place I can completely escape with no interruptions. I am just about to head home from work and could spend an hour in this bath! I love the green and white geometric pattern and how it really adds to the personality of this beautiful room.

and a morning shower to start the next day!

Bathroom Glamour...

I love the way the cantilevered double vanity sits on the oversized framed mirror in this bathroom.

It add's a wonderful touch of glamour to the room.

A Noble Retreat

Babington House is a stunning relaxed country retreat located in Somerset UK and was recently refurbished by the talented Ilse Crawford.  I could not think of a better place to spend a few days at the moment. 

I think the hardest thing would be choosing which room! 

The bathrooms are all beautiful...

The Lounge...

The Library and its gorgeous chairs and so many more beautiful images to see here.

A lovely home...

This character filled family home is located in Melbourne and has been lovingly renovated by its current owner Chyka Keebaugh & her husband.  I adore the way the home is full of one-of-a-kind pieces which the she has picked up at flea markets from around the world. The simple furniture and abundance of character provides a lovely environment for displaying them all.  

I love the white panelled walls and the metal wall sconces which are from Montreux. It provides a lovely backdrop for those stunning peonies. 

A beautiful tablescape of glass ornaments catches the light from the window, I adore the simple touch of colour the green the plants add to the room. Stunning!

The master bathroom 

I adore the private courtyard with its boxed hedge, pots & vintage cafe style chairs giving the yard some lovely character too.
