my “extra time” between the restaurant (Neil Perry’s Rockpool, deets to follow….) is often spent being inspired by gorgerous spaces, elements, pictures etc. I come across, and bundle them into one big fat blog, so that one day – when I am in the process of building my dream home, I can come back and find all the things I once tripped on, and fell in love with.

inspiration is everywhere……

design time & a big hug

this one inspires me to write, blog, create and design. 

to cook…… and bake…… and smile (and not eat, since I can’t have any “junk food” aka all things sweet and sugary goodness! – who wants to be a taste tester??? )

you all know I love chalkboard walls (for grocery lists, song lyrics and love notes….)

way too stark and boring for my taste, but I really like this concept……..a loft and bright, beautiful doors

perfect

In the meantime, I have been feeling super inspired by the following pictures (I adooooooooooore certain elemants, and am dreaming of a home of my own)

BIG love,

k

this one makes me smile. I love the sunlight! and the cozy outdoor space… and the trees….Relaxation

chic camping! imagine…… a sunset, a campfire (SMORES PLEASE!), some cozy blankets and some acoustic on the guitar… 

this rooftop space would make a great hangout. love the table (which is was a touch darker..) and the plants – they pop!

(the white room is the entrance to the patio…)

I don’t really love any of the furniture in the above two photos (okay, maybe some…) but I do love the lines and shapes in each space – think of the possibilities!

behind this door… I could plant a beautiful garden, with heaps of fresh tropical flowers, bright plants and shady trees….. mmm!

can I have this room, empty please??? love the brick, windows, natural light, flooring……. potential potential potential

great mirror! beach happy….

oh the bubbles!

love the clash of rustic/modern in this one, and these mirrors? gorgeous!

yes please!

how fun would this be? filled with your favourite people, some good food, good tunes and heaps of laughter

I don’t know why, but some elements in this one are super cool.

relaxing……..

ingrid michaelson song……. how sweet : )

love this shelving unit..

hello big fat gorgeous red leather bag from anthropologie, I wish you were not so freaking expensive!

I got this beauty from the Freo Markets, and now…. I will be smelling like yummy strawberries post-shower… yippeeeee!
