One of my new favourite blogs to frequent is boatshed chic. Beth's most recent post was about her recent trip to a popular and rather exclusive store in the up market Sydney suburb of Woollahra called Imagine This. This store is like Sydney's version of Melbournes Miguel Meirelles antiques and the stores owners regularly visit Paris and Provence and bring back container loads of treasures....unfortunately for me they come with a hefty price tag lol.
I'm completely in love with this fabric. I have a louis chair at home I'm wanting to have recovered. I wonder if I called them to ask what company makes this fabric and where I could obtain it, they'd tell me? I guess it can't hurt to ask :)
This was labelled as a birdcage chandelier....stunning!
hmmm anyone would think I have a thing for blue ;)

(The Queen of tablescapes Anna Spiro of Absolutely Beautiful Things) It's all about the details! One of the reasons I love more classic styles of decor as opposed to contemporary, is I simply love the personal touches people add to make a space their own. Some people would say it's clutter and although clutter can suffocate me too at times, when grouped tastefully personal items create warmth and personality will not only constantly make you smile as you pass them, but will also thrill and excite others and make for welcoming conversation :)
Tonight I decided to put together a group of some of my favourite "details" pics I had saved in my files. There are quite a few that I saved at a time before my blogging days therefore carelessly didn't record their sorce and for that I apologise. If anyone can offer some corrections I'd be forever grateful.

On a personal note, My son William marched for the first time this year at our local Anzac dawn service with his Air League squadron. I'm a very proud momma ;)

J'adore this image from an eclectic boudoir store in Portland Oregon, USA called Flutter!
Originally posted by desire to inspire this girly boutique's tag line is "A delightful disarray of found objects and clutter".
To me it looks like Portlands version of Melbourne's Harem store. Just my kind of shopping!
Check out their website and online store for a visual feast of recycled goodness :)
My favourite Sydney home for sale this week...
http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin/rsearch?a=o&id=104535602&f=40&p=10&t=res&ty=&fmt=&header=&cc=&c=99623877&s=nsw&snf=rbs&tm=1208693457
Meticulously renovated in a classic style to emphasise the vast, light-filled interiors, this magnificent 6-metre wide residence offers expansive accommodation over four comfortable levels.
Luxurious double formal rooms with ornate period detailing including soaring ceilings, original fireplaces and bi-fold doors for privacy.Vast gourmet granite kitchen with stainless-steel gas appliances and ample storage. Casual living area opens to sun-drenched parterre courtgarden with retractable awnings, built-in bbq facilities and separate entrance.
Magnificent master bedroom opening through double French doors to full-width balcony. Multiple bedroom accommodation over three upper levels, several opening on to private balconies and one with kitchenette for self-contained staff quarters. Two large marble bathrooms on the middle two levels, one with direct access to large separate linen & storage room. Laundry and drying room, guest cloak room, extensively wired, security
This home is grand yet cosy. My favourite feature HAS to be the kitchen/family room opening out to the courtyard. I'm completely smitten! This is also a very similar colour scheme I'm planning to create for my own new family room. The only downside to this house is Woolloomooloo is not one of my favourite suburbs in Sydney. Too fast paced.
What's the price tag you say? I predict a cool $3, 000, 000 ;)
Still on the subject of magnificent French design...
Look at these incredibly sweet, sexy and alluring shop signs.
