You can't help but notice the beautiful moroccon lanterns when going by Hamimi in East Brisbane.

New Couch envy! For the outdoors I love the cool grey resin wicker and striking blue stripe cushions of the Airlie Collection.



Love this new outdoor setting from the Airlie Collection at Harvey Norman



I really adore the colour and look of this velvet Moran three seater available from David Jones.

3-seater Moran with studding detail and Warwick fabric "Entice Steel" Exclusive to David Jones.

Painting Complete - Big Reveal out the back!

Very excited that all my painting is complete and I can share with you the finished look for all my hard work!

A nice sunny spot on a winters day!  If it gets chilly a nice soft warm rug from BBNT.

Pretty Begonias brighten the outdoor space

New cushions on my outdoor lounge hand made by me - the perfect spot to enjoy a book or a magazine!  My hubby says oh no not more cushions! You can also see a little bit of the landscaping part 2 which needs some spring weather to give the plants a boost!



Hanging lanterns by day add interest and by night set the mood!



                

 

 

We love our new bar table many a good night has been had, and it's a great breakfast spot too.

Enjoy this beautiful Sunday no matter what you're up to!

The paint colours again are Dulux Natural Stone on the weatherboards, Ironstone for the window sills and trims and Antique White USA for the windows.  NO more mustard walls.

I headed to the Build and Design Queensland expo at the convention centre last week and thought I'd share a few exciting products from some of the exhibitors.

Look closely at this first product timber you say, look a little closer it's tiles!

Great Par-ker Ceramic Parket, in a great range of colours from Ace Stone + Tiles

Next was headturning outdoor furniture and retractable roofs to suit both commercial and domestic settings.

Wish List #13 Outdoor rooms for a relaxing weekend!

The weekend is coming and I thought I'd take a look at some ideal outdoor rooms.  Hopefully the sun is going to stick around so we can all enjoy the outdoors and some winter sunshine! I'm hoping to get a start on my cushions in the next week to complete my outdoor room!

Any outdoor space can be simply decked out with a couple of vintage metal chairs, a rustic jetty style table and bench seat and the icing on the cake is those wonderful cushions and the gorgeous tree and foilage image opaline-sucasa

This Gazebo has been decked out with nautical style bench seats and equally nautical white and tan stripe upholstery image room decorating ideas.  The seaside theme is continued with the collection of vintage light fittings.

This deck has got the ultimate built in fireplace/woodfire oven! Image my home ideas.  Heating in your outdoor space will increase the amount of usage to nearly all year round weather permitting!

The shutters are devine, they can let the required amount of light and sunshine in or keep the bad weather out. The greenery brings the outdoors in image southern living

So the roundup on Stylish Outdoor rooms that you just don't want to leave!

Great accent colours that compliment the outdoors either from a throw, cushions or upholstery!

Lighting, lamps, dimmable lights and candles to set the mood!

Gas Lanterns add romance and a touch of yesteryear to this beachside outdoor retreat apartment therapy

Comfortable furniture for entertaining and to suit everyday living which is weatherproof for longer life.  Weatherproof covers are a good idea when not in use.

Heating and in QLD cooling (fans!) to allow all year round use!

And of course a beautiful Garden always helps!
