Island style...

Oliveaux

We have been rearranging the shop this morning and unpacking new things that have arrived in. I am loving so many of the pieces and have resisted taking some of the home for myself! One of our wonderful client's popped in with some beautiful big frond's this morning which we have put on top of our Caribbean buffet. I love how they give an island feel and add's some life to the front of the shop...perfect for our warm Queensland weather as they last really well in our heat.

Thank you also to Ivy & Piper for the mention in the latest edition of their magazine. Be sure to take a look as there are so many wonderful things featured.

Enjoy your Tuesday...Ax

p.s. Oliveaux will be open late for the next two Thursday nights leading up to Christmas....so stop by and let us help you find that special gift. We will also wrap it for you!

Weekender on Sydney's Palm Beach

This beautiful Australian home which features in this month's Architectural Digest is located in Palm Beach, one hour north of Sydney. The owners wanted to create a weekend home that family and friends could come and relax in - creating memories for their grandchildren.

This beautiful living room has a Something's Gotta Give feel to it - don't you agree??

The dining room is raised three steps above the living area. I Love the stairs leading up to the second story and the double columns...and the antique french lantern.

The home has walnut plank floors through out, the owners wanted to create a home that they felt comfortable enough to put "their feet up".

The master bedroom features green striped walls and fabric bedhead which is fresh and relaxing

I love all the traditional elements like the wide veranda's and windows

the outdoor entertaining area is stunning!!
