Bit late to the party this morning. It's a public holiday here. I WAS the last to know. I had a big day planned but now I have no-one to pick up my orders so I am staying home. The joys of self employment...you don't get paid holidays. Actually you don't get any pay if you don't work. Funny that.
So for my Monday Nook today, I thought a pool nook would be nice. Isn't this beautiful? I am assuming this is the back of the house. This is what I love about Northern Hemisphere homes (I generalise of course)... they pay as much attention to the back elevation aesthetic as the front. Sometimes the back is even more beautiful as it backs on to a lake or a beach.
Sigh. Love the pavers and the pool furniture..... and the whole damn house!
3 more sleeps until my boy gets home. He emailed last night. His host family gave him Macaroni Cheese for dinner last night. It obviously made an impact as that was pretty much all he wrote about. He also said he had a huge story to tell that he can't write about in an email. My mind went wild. I hope they are treating him well.... fret, fret. He has tried to call via Skype but it is not working for some reason. What's with Japan and Skype?
Anyway, I have decided to sort and file today and maybe do some ironing #riveting
So glad I didn't book the weekend away down at the beach as originally planned. It's raining.
Over and out.
Happy Monday!

... that I have been coveting... for my next house?
.. well I stumbled upon the whole house over at House Beautiful.
It's in San Francisco.
Check out the gold leaf accents.
They sort of got everything perfect....
...with Ralph Lauren furniture... and Mr Adler's cushions.
A black and white base with neutral textured accents.
Give. me. that. sofa.
A beautiful mix of old and modern.
How's that for a bathroom pendant light? ... a crystal ship chandelier!
Tiles are of course Ann Sacks, as are the splashback tiles in the kitchen.
Does it get any better than this?
Oh Northern Hemisphere, I do love thee and all you have to offer architecturally.
What's your favourite room? Mine's still the kitchen. I am so having a black island bench next time.
Happy Tuesday!

I want to do something like this off the main bedroom at the back of my next house, as it will be elevated with city views.
Beautiful homes in various stages of construction. Heck, I get excited when they post a concept drawing or a picture of a building at sarking stage! It's wonderful to follow their building projects on instagram ...as you only ever really see the completed product on their website.
And I must say, I am most impressed with their lighting choices.....
.... not to mention their trim work!....
.....be still heart....
.... and their beautiful kitchens!
They build some spectacularly grand homes, but this one is one of my favourites. Wooldridge Place. A custom home.
I love this design. This would be perfect for my block. I'd just flip it to the mirror image and continue the porch around the corner, as my block is a corner block. It would fit right in with the Brisbane character code and please our council no end!
Take a wander through it HERE, on their website. I wouldn't change a thing. I have mentally moved all my furniture in. Oh the daydreams!
Their instagram feed is: @stonecrofthomes. Jason Black, I'm stalking you! ...... all the way from Australia..... and I think you know it! I'm the one who leaves the 'hyperventilating' comments.
Happy Thursday!

Want to know which one of my Pinterest images gets repinned the most? This beauty.
Look at the pitch of that roof! I love the 'board and batton' exterior. Love the black and white contrast with the windows too.
It's old I reckon.....and the lovely thing is, if maintained, it will still look beautiful in another one hundred years. I am sitting in one of those rocking chairs, on that porch, gazing out at those trees now as I type. If you squint your eyes, they could be gum trees and we could pretend that this beauty is in Australia somewhere.... Southern Highlands perhaps. BTW, I love L shaped porches! Gonna do an L shaped porch next time... with just a few steps up to it. That's a definite.
School holiday programme for today?
I am hoping the rain will clear up just for a bit ....as we want to ride into town this morning and just 'hang out'... and eat some of that fabulous $2/ roll sushi that people line up down Adelaide St for. We'll get in early!
Happy Thursday!
