A finca in Mallorca

The sense of freedom is overwhelming in this space. The rooms seems to be filled only with air and light.

Romantic attic in Paris

I like how the grey colour in this apartement visually unifies space and makes a perfect background for the art photos, the furniture and the decorative objects. This is the work of french interior architect Olivier Rouvillois.

Just checking in :)

Hello friends!!! I'm still alive haha ;) Firstly, I just want to thank you all for your truly lovely comments and emails, I'm completely blown away by the warmth and love you've shown me. Who'd a thought my little blog could lead me to such amazing people and make wonderful new friends.

Anyway, enough of the emotional moment *wipes tear*, I just had to swing by and brag about my newest love. Thanks to PM K. Rudd and his stimulus package I bought myself a new book recently that left me gasping for breath. Inspirations from France and Italy by Betty Lou Phillips is truly the most magnificently breathtaking book I've ever laid eyes on. I have quite an extensive design book collection. Not as big as Joni's of course ;) but I'm still quite proud of it, and this one now sits as my very favourite. It's going to be hard to find a book to top this one.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves ;)



I desperately want a pastel map of Paris to frame for my office. I'll have to check out Ebay.

I'm still currently trying to sell this apple green colour scheme to a client for her formal lounge. She still not budging grrrrr hehe :)

It's hard to see in my poor scanned pic but the Gracie handpainted Chinoiserie wallpaper in this foyer is too. die. for! *sigh*

Please click the images to enlarge!

I practically squealed with delight at this kitchen! Those bar stools immediately reminded me of Gaynor Groome's, owner of Sydney store Shades Of Pale, kitchen. One of my all time favourites. And an aqua ceiling??! Absolutely stunning!

Again, GORGEOUS!!! I'll never tire of monogrammes.

This picture is probably one of my very favourites in the book. Everything about this image is perfect!

OK what is it with me and Green and Yellow at the moment? Hmmm.

I hope you're all doing well. I'm going to do my best to catch up on what EVERYONE has been up to. I've missed you like crazy, you have no idea.

How to Build A Fence?

A fence can be used to maintain privacy, corral animals, keep out unwanted wildlife, mark boundary lines, and divide property. Building a fence is a project that requires careful planning and patience. If you would like to build a fence, here is an outline of how it can be done economically and efficiently.

1. Lay out exact fence line. You'll need to deal with some preliminary surveillance and paperwork. Know where your property line is. You don't want to take the time and money to build a fence, only to discover your neighbor has the right to tear it down. You might try talking to your neighbor to see if they're interested in having a fence. This will enable you to build the fence directing on the property line, and your neighbor may be willing to chip in some money for the project. You'll also need to check on whether your fencing project requires any building permits before you begin.

2. Treating posts. The most important part of your fence is the part that cannot be seen after construction. This is the part of the post that is below ground. Therefore, pressure treated posts or posts treated with a preservative will assure a lasting firm foundation. It is best to soak untreated posts to a point at least 6" above ground level with a preservative. If you cannot soak the posts in this solution, brushing or spraying two or three liberal coats is next best. Full directions are on each can.

3.The Benefits of Hiring a Professional Fence Builder. You may decide you don't have the proper skills and tools to build and install the fence you want. Even if you can complete the project on your own, there are several reasons you may want to consider hiring a professional fence builder. First, they will bring local knowledge of wind, soil conditions, and how different materials will hold up over time given the climate you live in. It's unlikely you'll be able find this information from general fence building advice. The precision and craftsmanship of a professional fence builder will also ensure a seamless, sharp-looking fence that may last for much longer than the fence you will build. Plus, you save time and the inevitable headaches that come with virtually any DIY project.

Tips for good fence construction:

When nailing rails or boards horizontally, do not have all the joints on one post. Your fence will be stronger if you stagger the joints.

When assembling a large number of boards with equal spacing, ensure that the first board is straight and use a spacer or cleat to ensure equal spacing of the boards.

Cut all boards to length before nailing rails to posts. Often boards must be cut to a nominal length to ensure square corners and smooth ends. If this is the case, rails should be spaced according to board lengths.

DIY Home Light

I think few people has tried to make a home light by themselves.May be consider it as a very hard working. In fact, not at all. You can reserve some used bottles, or beautiful paper or card,even a uesd disposable cup. Those we treat as wastes in our daily life are always the suitable material for making the home light. At the same time, it is the best way to save energy and salvaging.

This light was made using about 120 plastic drink cups (we used 9-ounce cups, but any size would work). Wash and dry the cups, then staple two cups together side-by-side. Place the stapler deep into each cup, and staple as far back as possible. This holds the back of the cups together and begins forming the curved shape of the fixture.

As long as you use your head, you can make a unique light in the world, what a good idea!

La bastide de Marie

La Bastide de Marie, This perfectly restored 18th century Bastide in Menerbes, nestled in the middle of vineyards, is a haven of peace.
The warmth and simplicity radiates from every aspect of the building, the antique and mismatched furnitures.
Every bedroom is named after an herb from the nearby hills. Some have their own terraces. Others baronial fireplaces.
Yellow mimosa, purple aster, ochre red or blue Nîmes, exposed stones and antique furniture, transparent linen gauze or printed fabrics, every carefully-crafted details lend each room its own uniqueness.
