French Corner (Newmarket)

French Corner isn't far from our home and is a real treasure trove of gorgeous things. Each day, they put a large selection of goods on the sidewalk as a taster for what's inside. Adam spotted a console table on his drive home, so I went to have a look in person after work.

This is another console table inside.

I adore the mirror on the console look. I plan on using a mirror in our dining room.

Doesn't it look stunning?!

This is the console table, just as beautiful in real life.

French and English (Fortitude Valley)

A friend with very similar taste to me recommended French and English to me - I hadn't heard of or seen it before. On a whim I took Mum and Madeline for a look. I could quite easily spend a small fortune if I had it!

Loving the monogrammed/embroidered cushions.

Loving these euro covers too.

Stunning bedhead and cushions for Master William when he gets older!

I love this cabinetry so much, it is possibly five times the price of the Recollections one. I also love the look of the contrasting table and chairs.

And this console table is to die for. Love it.

I better buy a lotto ticket! Haha!

Bedroom inspirations!

Just a couple of bedrooms I have been inspired by this week. Loving the classic nautical for William and a pop of colour for our master room.

I have also added feather European inserts to my 'to buy' list.

This week!

Hello!

I hope you are all going well, we have had a busy week - although I have managed to squeeze some shopping in!

Firstly a bit of window shopping at Recollections, I saw both the following buffet and cabinet. I am yet to post about our kitchen but the cabinet would be perfect on a blank wall we have.

Next up was Target and their home sale. I bought this 1mx1m canvas. Adam is yet to hang it but I think it suits nicely!

And a ceramic stool from the junk shop!

And lastly a small hall table from Kmart for $29. (Excuse the terrible photo!) Plenty of home bargains to be had around the place!

Master Bedroom bits!

The master bedroom always gets put on the back burner!

Firstly, my current jewellery storage is abysmal. It is an Ikea kids container! I have been eyeing off some jewellery boxes at Magnolia Interiors etc but the prices have been quite expensive. Instagram saves the day again, I found they were listed on downthatlittlelane.com.au and much cheaper! I love all colours - the pinks, white and Tiffany blue. I've added it to my birthday list!

Next up, I bought some black Euro covers from Target on sale. They look really striking with the rest of the linen (excuse the crinkles and wonky lamp haha!)

I had still been pondering what to do on the walls in our room when I stumbled upon this image via A Thoughtful Place Blog. 

So absolutely beautiful, I am going to have the below image framed very similarly (small picture/huge matte) and mount it above our bed. I think it will be stunning. (I would also love Euro feather inserts too!) Slowly but surely coming together!

Real Estate obsession...

Yesterday, Mum and I took Madeline on a special date to buy ballet shoes. After an exciting morning she fell asleep in the car close to Mum's house so we had a bit of a drive around.

Holy wow! This house is officially my favourite Brisbane house. Recently renovated and sheer perfection in my eyes! I tried taking a picture but the rainy day didn't help my cause.

Gosh I would love to knock on the door!

After a bit of googling, I came across this site; http://house.ksou.cn/index.php. It seems to me to be the back end of realestate.com.au and keeps record of past listings for a sticky beak. I have spent the good part of all downtime this weekend trawling the site - it lists the 'sold for' prices and it has been great seeing how much houses in our street have sold for lately.

Anyway, back to the house above. I was lucky to find the listing - it wasn't exactly decorated to my taste, but it has fabulous bones I could work with! Haha!

Virtual sticky beak!

I often want to have a look inside 'real homes' but short of knocking on doors to ask, I find myself trawling realestate.com.au for inspiration. I know that there is a real market for home staging now, I wonder whether some homes are staged or just wonderfully decorated.

There is one home I keep revisiting as it is 110% stunning. I have screen shots of the rooms for inspiration, here are a few.

Love the cabinetry and chairs.

Love it all!

Love the shaker cabinets and light fittings.

Love the chandelier, entry table, mirror - heck, love it all.

This was a different home but love the simplicity of the linens.

Oh it's so fun to look and dream!
