Obsessed with Contemporary Kitchens
Yep ..... I sure am and that's because I wish that I had one!
What wouldn't be better than having amazing soft close draws so that you no longer hear children slamming them or have appliances which really are "self-cleaning". Oh, the time that I would save on a day to day basis.
There are so many things that I can think of but the main one would be the design and functionality. My wish list would be endless :)
I'm not sure if all of you have heard of a vision board and what it's all about but here is a quick explanation and guide.
It's a board that is a representation of you and what your goals and dreams are at the time. So, because I'm dreaming and obsessing about contemporary styled kitchens, I thought that I would share some of my inspirational pictures with you and maybe, just maybe one day it will come true!
But really, it's all about having a little fun!

- Light wood floors
- Natural light created from large windows
- An eclectic infusion to contemporary design with a defined neutral colour palette

Beach Style Living
When summertime hits Australia it's usually a hint that school holidays are going to be starting soon. This may resonate with some and not with others but ...... we start going in to panic station mode .... how are we going to keep the cra cra out of our heads, can we hide somewhere where we can not be found. These are the times when we may drift and dream where we would rather be, well I definitely do and there is no denying that!
I would rather be by the beach side where I can relax and unwind with no worry or care in the world - as that is not the case, I just admire and seek beautiful interiors that inspire and uplift me.
I hope that you enjoy the following and perhaps can even imagine yourself here too.

Storage Solutions continued!
Smart storage ideas is one of the most important things to remember in any home particularly for smaller spaces.
It's a continuing battle for all of us. We accumulate so many things over time and cant find it in ourselves to de-clutter.....
As I do a fair amount of my research on-line to get ideas and source inspiration, I came across something that may be of interest to some....... a combination of two spaces worked into one along with that dreaded storage dilemma solved :)
This space is smart and contemporary but it also gives the illusion of space by use of colour and design. By adding decals which have been positioned to draw the eye upwards is creating a sense that the room has high ceilings .... very clever as well as keeping the main palette neutral and using black as the "feature" point.
The design is so versatile and fluid in it's structure that you could quite easily improvise or add your own personal touch with ease.
