destination - the Caribbean

Dreaming of an island getaway - relaxing with G&T in hand, mesmerised by crystal clear oceans, walks along pristine sandy beaches, and the most scrumptious holiday home ever  - well then my friends take a look at this - okay at  unto $6k (Aust) per night it is a little out of my price range but oh to dream...Welcome to Villa AOM St Barts, the Caribbean!

Or for those on a less restricted budget than the $6 grand per night then perhaps Villa Wik, also in St Barts is the villa for you -at upto $15k per night (yep $15,000 Australian dollars per night)

Enjoy your weekend...

Queensland Australia

No desires for anything material, no whining about what I want, what I can't live without  - my thoughts are with those in Brisbane who are currently facing a nervous wait as flood waters rise.  Thoughts to all those families who have lost homes, who tonight have left homes behind not sure what they will return to.

If you wish to donate to the flood appeal then please go to this website...Queensland Flood Appeal  

Prayers and thoughts for all those affected by the floods in Queensland and Victoria.

The front room

Kath and Kim would call it the good room -but with two boys in tow and the fact that the space doubles as the extra TV room, with Wii and my study,  really it is not a good room at all.

But at last the painting is finished - shelves up and I am now in the process of getting the room back in order.

So here is where we started..

and the end result is still a work in progress but I can dream...

Let's hang out

It has been hot - and with a cooling sea breeze in the afternoon there would be nothing, nothing better than hanging out  - on the deck, kicking back with the breeze gently lulling me into a state of sheer bliss.... and as I am on holidays, really what do I have to rush for...

US NAVY CHAIR

The Emeco 1006 chair, also called the Navy chair, is an aluminium chair.  Developed in the 1940's it build like the proverbial brick house  - the design brief was that the chair needed to be able to withstand a torpedo blast to the side of a destroyer!!! (sounds more like a child's toy design than a chair). 


So the story goes the chairs so durable that apparently  when it was thrown out of a sixth-floor window at a Chicago furniture show, it survived undamaged except for a few scratches!!


I did some research on the chair and was going to dazzle you with my sheer intellectual force - but alas really the only thing that can be said is that this is one sexy chair  - even the worst meal ever served to you could be edible if you dined sitting in the Navy chair!

A touch of being feminine

Okay - I am not a pink floral flounce type of girl - but at times I hanker after a soft feminine touch for our home - I am the only female in our house - even our four legged family member is male !!

So we are currently doing a wee pit of painting  - the kids play room is now all white - and  I am eager that  we paint the front room  - that would be the Royal We - I am eager but hate painting so my one true love does the painting - see I get bored half  way though painting and then begin to paint sayings and pictures on the wall which really is not a good thing...

No argument on the wall color  - white it will be  - but how to inject a sense of femininity into the room  - which double as my study area and a second TV room complete with the Wii - but how do I do this???

Perhaps a touch of pink is the go..
