A Weekend House...

A beautiful image of New England style homes which I found on flickr makes me want a weekender like this!! I only wish I could see inside...hope you all have a fun weekend.

New England Style home...

This beautiful house is in Chelmer a Brisbane riverside suburb. It was on the market a few months ago...It caught my attention when it featured in Brisbane News, a free publication which is delivered to my letterbox each week. I had to do a drive by just to see it!! Chelmer is often voted as having Brisbane's most livable street and this house is a testament to that...enjoy!

I love white kitchens with stone tops and the beautiful big windows off the dining area.

I love the built in book shelves and the striped sofa...wouldn't it look great with some Oliveaux fabrics on it!!
And maybe a large buttoned ottoman.

A Country House

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.
