Hyperventilating

Seriously in love with these buttery soft gloveskin leather shoes by Nashville-based Elizabeth Suzann. And there's even hair-on cowhide. Dear Lord how am I supposed to resist? I just have to keep chanting my mantra ... "need a new kitchen more, need a new kitchen more."

Tarlo and Graham

If I lived in Melbourne Tarlo and Graham's shop windows would always be dirty. They would be covered in my finger and nose prints. I'm sure I would never get enough during their opening hours. I'd spend my evenings peering into their wonderland through their plate plass windows. I love everything!

Random kitchen things

After all this time (5 years) I'm still living with my old kitchen. We tarted it up as best we could. Paint on the walls, a vintage Penguin book cover feature wall, painted the cupboards, hang some old glass lights and covered the stained laminate benches with plywood but it's starting to get a little tired. I know exactly what I would do if money was no problem but things are a bit tight at the moment. I have plans for a simple renovation in the meantime. It involves IKEA carcasses, a stone counter top, new sink and taps and a long zinc topped table as workbench and a place to eat. No upper cabinets but I will need a stainless steel rangehood. Eventually the bathroom next door will move down into the stables and the laundry will move up to the bathroom and be part of a butler's pantry. Confused? I'm not. I've been planning this for years.

Favourite things

Another one of my favourite things. I bought this vinatge curly cane bedhead from @katherinetheoldboathouse far too many years ago. I do believe Katherine that it was the very first thing I purchased from you. I love how striking it is against my black walls.
