Revenge

So tonight was the Revenge debut on Australian TV. 

 

As I've mentioned before, thanks to my dear friend Nick this show is my newest addiction.

We've been a bit cheeky and watched all the eps so far on the net and 

we anxiously await each week to quickly get online to watch. 

I do love the storylines, so well written and a tad clever.

But naturally I can't help but love the beautiful homes in the Hamptons setting.

Grayson Manor

 

The guest room - gorgeous headboard

Dining room has an outdoor indoor feel

Kitchen and breakfast area - love the light

Exterior of Emily's Beach House

Beautiful pieces of furniture in Emily's home

 

Wrap around porch, a must when living on the beach in the Hamptons

True loyalty takes years to build and only seconds to destroy - Emily

So please tell me,

what did you think of Revenge? 

Did you love it as much as I do or do you have a different opinion?

101 with Sarah

I was able to catch up on some episodes of Sarah 101 this weekend and 

couldn't help but like this living and dining space she did. 

Great colour scheme.

I want that coffee table.

The image above the sofa was taken by the homeowner. 

Sarah enlarged it and framed it in a light box.

 

The grey zebra rug on the floor was actually 2 rugs that she had sewn together.

A much more cost effective way than having a rug custom made.

 

She always finds really great second hand chairs and has them reupholstered.

 

Same here, a great find in an old mod century side board.

 

The wallpaper is a ocmbination of the seagrass and bamboo.

 

 Another pair of old second hand chairs. 

I wasn't sure what these were going to end up looking like once redone 

but I have to say I do like them, very much.

The dining space was very small so to save on some space, banquet seating was built in.

Summary of my week ...

This has been my head and my life in the past week ...

 

Just let people do what they need to do and get on with your own stuff.

 

 It has been insanely hot here in Cairns. 

It is normally wet season here by now so whilst there is usuallystill high humidity about

it should be just a slight bit cooler. 

It is just too hot right now!

  

So it's kind of strange that I have been thinking about winter clothing isn't it?? 

(It must be the cranked up air conditioner)

But I am loving the little ankle boots for Winter dressing, it's a must.

 

And probably the biggest thing for the week was related to work. 

That time of the year to have a "review" with the big boss.

All went well and I'm a happy girl whhich is always nice.

Good to know I'm on the right path, made good decisions and

I'm looking forward the what's ahead in 2012.

But I can't believe it's time to start the week all over again.

Have a great one xx

Celebrity House - Sofia Coppola

Sofia Coppola and husband Thomas Mars have put their Nolita apartment on the market.

Of course I love it! 

But I don't have a cool $2.75 million nor do I live in New York to be able to take it off her hands for her ...

Oh my, it's those blue sofas, so divine

Love the windows

 

Perfect little kitchen

Simple bedroom, really like the bare floor boards with the soft rug

The gorgeous blue sofa's were included in the shoot for Louis Vuitton Sofia Coppola bag collection

Beautiful Home - Live Creating Yourself

I have to share this gorgeous apartment of Alaina from the blog Live Creating Yourself.

It is so lovely and homely, it is definitely providing me with much inspiration for my place.

 

 

  

Favourite colour combination in the kitchen - white with hints of yellow and grey

 

 

 

 

Love the floor tiles and soft colour palette in the bathroom

 

Love the black wall, such a contrast the rest of the apartment. I could work here for hours.

Alaina working on her lovely inspiration board

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful and perfectly styled.

Shelter Island

What a better way to start the week than with a sweet home.

This home located in Shelter Island, New York is a remodelled fisherman's cottage built in 1904.
