Skate & Cake

How cool is this couple! Carrie & Pat.

They Live in Hawaii but got married in California so when they got back they had a 'Skate & Cake' party when they got back to celebrate with all their local freinds that couldnt make the wedding! Very cool! And i love the pops of pink in the photos!

I love the bottom photo - the colours are great - i hope they have this hanging on their walls at home!

Only a few days now till we can get our fix of SATC!

Im flat out today so no time to copy all the piccies myself but Elle Decor has done a great article on the set design & interiors for the new movie!

Check it out Elle Decor - Sex & The City

oh ok, i had time for one image - Carrie & Big's living room.... now off you go to Elle for the rest!

Stay tuned - im off to see the movie on wed night so ill do a few SATC inspired interior posts next week!

Yippeeeee!

Riding into the sunset...er, the mud.

I am still pining after a nice vintage style bike!

My ideas of a bike are a bit like these images...

Where as my other half's ideas are a bit more serious.... think staying up till 4am every night in july watching the tour de france...ok i do a bit of that too but am usually asleep by midnight!

Which means we have a nice collection of just as serious serious bikes around the house  (maybe i could display them like these??)

Somehow i ended up with a fairly expensive mountain bike that has barely been used...My mountain biking career never really took off... Im too much of a scardy cat! This weekend however we are off to Canberra for a 100km mountain bike race. The man is racing & i am spectating ;)  Usually looks a bit like this;

Although with the weather in Sydney & Canberra this week & the forcast for the weekend it may turn out more like this...
lets hope not!

Happy Weekend ;)

More Real Living inspirations

Here are 2 more images that ive spied in Real Living magazine lately that have inspired me!

Particulary with our tiny dining space (read squished between the back of the lounge & the kitchen island in a bout a 2m x 2.5m gap space!). We ended up buying a white tulip table & white panton chairs. We now need a sidebaord for storage & to hide the 'clutter'.....

Im loving the look in this picture on the left of the white chairs against the rustic timber sideboard.

This look has got me quite inspired! I have been trawling ebay for a sideboard & found a great one at Stone Pony in Sydney that i showed in this post.

Now this picture really got me thinking....maybe the wishbone chairs would have looked better with the white table....or a timber table with my white chairs.......oh indecision! Basically i think these two photos show how a bit of rustic + a bit of modern can look fantastic together! Or how good light timbers + white look together!

Image - Beacon Lighting

Oh & of course, in my opinion a kitchen or dining area just isnt complete without a pendant light or 3!

These are one of my (affordable) fav's (from Beacon Lighting), the Tama drum pendant. Love that solid timber bench& the stone clad collumns too! This would be a great casual dining table dont you think?? I can just see myself sitting up here with a coffee & my breaky!

Nice dress SJP!

Loving SJP's Sex & The City 2 premiere dress! Hot!

So excited for 2 weeks time when this comes out!

wooohhoo!

The world is your oyster

Maybe its because i love travelling & i associate world maps & globes with impending adventures... but in any case i cant get enough of them! I think they are a winning artwork & one of my favoirte things in my house is my grandfathers antique world globe....

Via Elle Decor....and omg this room is TO DIE FOR!

White pallete, a huge map, a colelction of globes, colourful cushions...whats not to love!

Now that i have one i love i might start a collection i think!

Wall mural love!!!

oohh love the collection of starburst mirrors here too!

Sectrets of Domestic Bliss

Now heres an idea...i do have a blank wall in the laundry...

I think kids rooms are the perfect spot for a world map mural!

They can plan all their adventures! Get some pins out & mark where they want to go & have been!

Now this is a cute idea!

A couple of maps from your trips + a few Ikea Ribba frames & bingo!

Pure Style Home

The colours here are beautiful...

Im also totally Loving these maps/artworks below from

These are Things

The Aqua one is so kitch & fun!

And the black one is super chic & stylish!

I have definatly added one of these to my wishlist :)

An Etsy Find!

Happy Monday all! Loving these prints!

When i saw this one i had to have a laugh & thought it'd be perfect for my nanna who introduced me to g & t's...(at a age before i was allowed to be enjoying g & t's!) ....she's been handed lemons at the moment herself,  in hospital getting a new knee...maybe i should get it for her...

All piced at $19 USD

Vist the etsy shop Dear Colleen to check em out!

Real Estate PORN!!!!

ok, so today is another 'more than once daily chic' kinda day....

I have to give full credit to Louise over at Table Tonic for alerting me to this piece of pure real estate porn!

139 Carabella St Kirribilli! A ten min drive from my office!...hmm, that would be conveniant if i could scrape together around $1.8mil lol.......enjoy my day dreaming

Id add a full length sheer to that window, a different lounge & some arm chairs...and a rug...and some art.

my own bed would look quite good in here...tick!

The second bedroom...this would be my home office.

Full length custom joinery to the wall, a drum pendant, a great chair, maybe a little wall mounted tv to watch the lifestyle channel on while woking & a huge pot with a frangipani tree on the balcony.

hmmmm not sure if the claw bath suits this bathroom???

Id prob put a more modern freestanding bath in - like the one in my last post! The missoni towels can stay!

wow...loving this kitchen!

Great island, lots of storage, so light & airy & great lights!

and awesome sideboard!

id grow some herbs on that balcony

nice work with the pink chairs there but i think id make the frames white

(wow im so full of helpful tips lol)

nice....

I have to agree with Louise here - very Anna Spiro looking!

ok...now back to reality....

Infact my parents are looking for a place & despite this being totally out of their price range my mum & i might just have to drop in at the open for inspection for this one on saturday to have a sticky beak! hehe
have a great weekend!
