A rainy day pick me up... Look at the gorgeousness...

I feel in need of some brightening... this weather (it's been raining all day), being inside with two small people all day and dealing with a vomit on natural flooring rug situation at the end of the day has left me feeling a little whacked.

So I'm brightening my evening by looking at some photos and I thought I'd share them here. I picked these Gardenias from my very own garden. I have dreamed of a garden filled with Gardenias for a very long time and I finally have one (well a garden bed anyway). I was able to pick this lovely arrangement and also keep enough in the garden.

I was so excited and grabbed the opportunity to take these photos of the pretties.... aren't they just gorgeous?!

I also love the little bud vases they are in...they look lovely non? They were a gift from my Aunt who found them in Inverell (Country, NSW) whilst there for work. The things you find where you least expect them...

After taking a crazy amount of photos from every angle they finally found a home here and I think they felt right at home. Their scent was out of this world... it was filling the room.

I just wish they had a longer shelf life. Their beauty and fragrance is so fleeting...

Do you love Gardenias as much as I do?... 

How cute are these little vases?!...

What's your favourite flower?...

In Bathroom Mode...

Hello hello....

It's been such a long time. This little blog of mine was on such a roll.... meaning I was consistent with my posts. Then... I fell pregnant, had horrible morning sickness, we did more renovations, had another baby and well...life was/is busier and this little blog went to the back burner.

I have decided I am going to work harder at posting more frequently. Posting what is relevant to me, things I like...basically all things life and style. It will be for me to look back on and maybe...just maybe...you will find it relevant and helpful too.

So...with that out of the way I turn to the issue at hand.... Our bathrooms and laundry.

It's the final stage of our renovations. Yippppeeeee!! It's going to be the messiest and the hardest seeing as I have two little people, it's the bathrooms and laundry and we're living through it.

Oh the decisions!!! It's our first bathroom and laundry reno so we're feeling a little cautious. We have a wonderful builder who we have worked with from day one with this house....now 2.5yrs ago (where does the time go!!) and N's family are seasoned renovators so are a wealth of knowledge and invaluable sounding boards. Even still, we find ourselves nervous that our selections may not work and may not hit the mark we are aiming for. I have been trawling the web and magazines for inspiration and I will share some of these in a future post. We think we are getting close to a decision and I have a meeting with the builder to go through them this week and identify any issues and make any changes needed (fingers crossed there are none)

I have worked up a little inspiration collage in Polyvore and thought I might share it...

As you can see the colour palate is very neutral with grey's and white. We are going for something that feels large, bright, fresh, classic and warm. Fingers crossed we are on the right track.

Thoughts and feelings you might want to share are more than welcome...
