Pink Interiors!



These interiors are just beautiful .... I always feel pink is a happy colour and very soothing!  Interior above from the brilliant James Aman ....


I am not sure where this interior is from but it is just gorgeous with the pink drapes and gold hardware ....


of course this by the talented Ashley Whittaker as featured in House Beautiful ... tufted white sofa opposite the pale pink with black trim Louis chairs .... perfect!


Beautiful children's retreat .... would love to know the source!


the trim on this settee is stunning .....


and who could resist The Ritz Paris for a fabulous interior ....

Enjoy!

Champagne on Ice!



There is nothing like champagne on ice ....


refreshing, celebratory and fun ...


especially with rose petals sprinkled over the top ...


or with fresh mint and ice cubes ....


or with cupcakes ....

better get back to work and leave the champagne idea for the weekend!
Have a great Tuesday

Christmas Table


Just some pictures from our Christmas table ... 
cake by "Cakes by Ayden" ...


and this beautiful Christmas cake by "Nicky Svenson" ... had to have to different colour themes ....


I also found these beautiful crystal antique champagne saucers from a local antique dealer ... they are from Scotland about 1910 and feature a thistle on the sides!


a long shot of the table ....


these are the table napkins I used with a little box of Charbonnel et Walker chocolates at each place setting ....


and this is a bit random but I found this photo of Georgiana's 13th Birthday table setting ... from 2015!  What am I going to do for her 16th!

have a wonderful day

Well I'm back ..... after a long time!





and hopefully to stay!  These are some images from my updated website that I have been working on for some time... they are of our home "Cooloola" which means "resting place".




Beautiful artwork in our bedroom by a renowned and incredibly talented Australian artist "Craig Waddell".




Beautiful image by photographer, "Elouise Van Riet Gray".  Her photography is stunning.




Our lounge room ....




I found this beautiful antique mirror from the wonderful "Karina Gentinetta" in New Orleans.  Karina is a painter, designer and antiques dealer and has a showroom at the New York Centre and is on 1st Dibs..... Perfect with the crystal chandelier reflected in the worn patina of the mirror glass.  I think my head accidentally got in the photo as well!
I hope you enjoy them and if you would like to see more images they are on my website.
Have a wonderful day and make it beautiful!
