Pretty Country House
It really is such a treat being able to work in beautiful houses. I am currently working on a house out in the country which has a big fabulous barn, horses and very pretty gardens. It is an old white Queenslander and it really is something very special. I love it so much I had to share it. Here's a little snapshot of the front garden. I've also posted a few photos below of the beautiful sofas, cushions and rug we delivered there this week. Next on the agenda is a custom built-in bookcase which will cover an entire wall floor to ceiling. I have also been asked to find a beautiful Antique dining table and chairs and the best part of all is that the clients are so kind and so easily pleased. They love everything I show them which makes my job so easy and at the end of the day I think it makes the look so much more beautiful too...

When I spotted this vintage tear sheet on Full House blog recently it really struck a chord with me because I would love to take a week or two off to spend at home just pottering around the garden and the pool, cooking for my boys and taking some time to really enjoy what it is that we have....time to stop and smell the roses so-to-speak.
I also think that as much as I would like to NOT talk about the slowing economy and as much as I would like to ignore it, it would be remiss of me because the reality is that we are smack bang in the middle of tough times. Please don't get me wrong, I am not writing this post to try to depress you...quite the opposite. I am writing this post to try to inspire you. Tough times shouldn't mean the cancellation of fun but they do make us think a bit differently about how we spend our money. So here's one way I think we can save on money but not on fun...
With the arrival of Spring here in Australia it's hard not to think about holidays because that's what we all do when the weather gets warmer, we plan holidays. Instead of thinking about grand plans for an expensive holiday overseas or interstate I think it could be a wonderful idea to think about grand plans for a happy and relaxing holiday at home. Pretty up the house, add some cushions, get into the garden, read a book, take afternoon naps, cook lovely meals, play scrabble with the family and enjoy what it is that you have because what we all have is really so very much...
