For All Seasons

Oh I love this coat rack. I'm a sucker for a blackboard at the best of times... but mixed in with a coat rack?... perfect for all seasons.... snow gear or beach towels! I'm off to the snow for a couple of weeks for a very 'active' family holiday. Will be back soon.

Totally Coastal

Look at these gorgeous day beds Karna made for her gorgeous coastal home, up in my favourite hemisphere. They met a sad fate, if I can remember... and are no more.. but hey, they are now recorded for posterity down here on this Aussie admirers blog. You can enjoy Karna's blog HERE.

Happy Thursday.

Coastal Colours

Just taking a break from my study to 'cruise' interiors for some inspiration. Nothing says 'serene coastal' more than Molly Frey. Love everything she does.  It's cold here in sunny Brisbane today... overcast and cold... well for Brisbane anyway! Almost fireplace weather... almost.
Enjoy your evening!

A Bit More Coastal These Days

Coastal Living

There's something about a seaside abode that screams 'seaside' even if you are not looking out the door at the sea.... relaxing elements peppered here and there, that are not necessarily nautical but that hint at a promise of an escape from the stresses of daily 'city' life......raffia baskets and hats, books, simple flower arrangements, well loved furniture, tactile fabrics such as linen, hessian, calico, denim and canvas with ticking, gingham or delicate floral designs, casual rugs, huge sofas, big windows, natural materials such as stone and wood, maybe a star fish or some coral and here and there, aqua blue and sea green accents and of course lots of white!

Now our houses might be no where near the sea but isn't it easy to incorporate such simple elements into our homes?! I am being drawn more and more to interiors that have that relaxed but elegant coastal feel to them... neutrals, naturals, texture and light.... an air of simplicity. Not to say that the odd Louis chair and chandelier wouldn't fit right in there though! What coastal elements do you love seeing in a home?
