Fabulous floor tiles

When we eventually build the dream house we will most likely be having tile floors, I really would like timber, but it works out more expensive than tiles....depending on the tile you use of course!

I love the colour & the pattern they have used to lay these tiles, but I am guessing they are probably travertine, which is also out of my budget.....

I'm sure I will be able to find something that looks similar in either porcelain or ceramic.I know I will definitely be able to achieve the look colour wise with something less expensive.

But then I guess I will be pushing the labour costs up by going for a more technical lay out,but it is certainly worth looking into.

It really is challenging trying to create the look you love with a budget, I appear to always be drawn to the most expensive things.

When the dream guy & I go looking at house things the conversation usually goes like this...

Me " Ooh I like that!"

Dream guy "Of course you do, its the dearest one there!"

What can I say... Lucky dreaming is free!!!

So, do you have any fabulous advice for me on floor tiling, its always greatly appreciated.

Ottoman fantasy

I'm a huge fan of the humble ottoman.

There are so many shapes, sizes & styles around, not to mention fabric choices.

Unfortunately we are spatially challenged in our rental & there doesn't appear to be room for an ottoman any where, but right now these are the ones i am fantasizing about.

What do you think?

Recycled bathroom idea

Don't ya just love it!

i wish i was easy going enough to include such a whimsical idea into my home!

Some people have no fear when it comes to implementing their decor ideas, I'm a little to serious & put lots of thought into resale & appealing to other peoples taste.

I must admit, I really love this bicycle vanity....

What do you think?

Would you purchase a home with this set up in the bathroom?

Have a fantastic weekend everyone.

Aside from the dogs on the couch, I don't think there is a single thing in this image I don't like...

A tufted ottoman, coral displayed the shelves, hydrangeas  a serene colour scheme & fabulous kitchen!

Could you enjoy living here?

Brand new on line store

When I was a brand new member of the blogging community, a lovely kind soul named Nellie popped by & welcomed me aboard  the addictive world of blogging. She introduced me to her readers & from her fabulous post I was on the road to having a great group of followers.

For this I was eternally grateful & knew a time would come when I could repay the kindness, I mean really, isn't that what us bloggers do best.

Now  Nellie has recently had a major career change, leaving the banking industry to follow her dreams. She has just launched a brand new business based in the country town of  Orange, NSW, Australia.

She is specialising in Home styling & Event styling.
 If you don't already follow her blog then you should pop on over & check out the photo's of some of her latest work,it's well worth the visit!

DIY coffee table inspiration

Who would have thought the old shipping pallet would make such a fabulous decor item...

A very simple concept & definitely a great DIY project if you wanted one of these....

Source Bodie & Fou

Pity I don't have a place for one, it would be the cheapest coffee table on the planet, mind you the dream guy would think I have gone totally nuts, for sure.

We never do see eye to eye on these decorating ideas.

Only because he has NOOOOOO style...sshhh....don't tell him I said that!!!!

Dream child No1 will be moving out into a house with friends in the new year, I think this is just the ticket for her & she would luuuurrrrve it!!!

What do you think of the pallet coffee table, YAY or NAY?
