Decorating for summer

I know I'm a little early, but after lots of beach trips over the holidays, (and maybe too many trips to some of my favourite shops), I've started to plan my summer decorating. It's time pack away the throw rugs and winter woolies, and break out the beach beauties. And whether you live near the water or not, there's room for a bit of coastal style in every home.









 







Ok, off to meet some lovely friends for painting classes this morning....what a nice way to start the week!

Officially.In.Love

...with this house. What's not to love - plantation shutters, relaxed, beachy vibe, verandahs....need I go on?

Isn't it lovely? I'm always drawn to this style of architecture, but I think my pining for summer is making it even more appealing at the moment. Bring on the warm days, I say!

I'll be back tomorrow with a few new paintings I've been working on, so I'll catch you guys then. 
Enjoy your day,

Outdoor living

Here in the southern hemisphere, winter is almost upon us. There's a definite chill in the air, even here in sunny Brisbane, and I'm already dreaming of spring. Of course, reading all of my favourive blogs from our northern hemisphere blog buddies does nothing but whet my appetite for barbecues, spring blossoms (oh, those gorgeous peonies and lilacs!) and days spent soaking up the sun. So, here are some gorgeous outdoor rooms to keep us going until the warmer weather rolls around again.
