Tropical Fever....

Yay- 'Spring' into Summer! With Australia starting to glow with Spring light and warmer days... so time to lighten up the house- change the cushions and throws and bring spring into the home!

Loving bold prints to bring the outdoors in and to brighten up the home... Bold forest prints are fantastic, or if your game go for tropical printed cushions.

Loving the cushions in this nook...



This is from one of my favourite homes- love the rug and bold print couch!



I love these bird cushions...



A fantastic mix of tropical cushions really make this nook look bright and fresh... great place to have a cocktail with friends...



Great way to pick up the colours in your cushions by adding fresh flowers and love that green silk poof!



Occasional chairs are perfect for bold prints without being over whelming!



Add a throw and some cushions to a crisp white bedspread for a tropical feel...



I love these rattan chairs in tropical colours... perfect for a bright tropical feel dining space...




And this idea of painting a tallboy or cheap dresser in green against a white wall in a living room this would look amazing!




Head to Etsy as there are heaps of cushions that you can play with for spring!

This bold printed cushion is great to bring a fresh look to your neutral sofa or chair. kyoozi

Vintage inspried whimsical tablescapes....

I know, I know it's been a while since I posted about my love of vintage but today I was going through my style files and came across a few of these amazing tablescapes and thought I had to share... I love vintage tablescapes, they incorporate everything I love about vintage; delicacy, details, layers, textures & colour.

Coastal Chic...

I am so willing for it to be spring already... though I think I could be quite happy come summer or winter to be living in these spaces with those views!





Chandelier & table- bliss!



LOVE that sailing boat chandelier!



Traditional white and blue...





All I can say Fridge + Stove= WOW!





Now for some with colour- how good do those Chinese lanterns look? I have never been a big fan- but here they work perfectly!





Sea greens go so well- I love how the highlights are picked up in the surrounds...



A touch of lime- you know this doorway is only going to lead to good places!









Great table decor for coastal living...



And this will be the next house I buy... you're more then welcome to visit!

Take a cool long sip of Hotel Azucar...

How could you not want to visit a place where the national drink is Tequila, the sun is always shining, the people are always singing and food is fresh and spicy? And to top it off you're not only allowed but expected to Nap during the day!



Hotel Azucar off the coast of Mexico is a fantastic mix of local vibrancy and chic luxury... and I so want to be there! With only 20 bungalows and miles of beach you feel like you're in a private sanctuary and with a restaurant that specialises in fresh seafood and wild freshwater prawns you feel like you're in heaven!

A padro ready to greet you on arrival... :)



Restaurant... fantastic mix of local colour and design.



The beautiful pool that over looks the pristine beach...




I love these change rooms for the pool!




Your own private bungalow... Fantastic mix of stark white rendered walls, stone walls and straw roofs...



Cool calming interiors... a great way to escape the heat for your siesta.





Your private balcony and hammock- the perfect place to sit a sip those beers...



Love this outdoor shower! That bucket is fantastic!



If you feel over worked from your long walks and lazing by the pool- they have a spa where you can meditate, do yoga or have one of their amazing treatments...



Their outdoor library for you to enjoy during your stay or have a few beers at!





Or enjoy the games that they supply... and who can go past a parrot when you're in Mexico?! :)



Enjoy your weekends my lovelies... this is where I will be- if only in my mind! xox
