Let the light hang down

I have an area at home that I know would look sooo good if only more inspired lighting was used - I am working on Mr Right to agree with me - this will take some time so until then I visualise the space with the just so light - a modern chandelier - not the gaudy old fashion type that have sooo many bits and bobs hanging down (and always seem to fall down in the movies..) - but a modern funky retro look chandelier.. some inspiration...

Really no words can explain!!!

destination - Goa, India

I am not sure that I really could travel all the way to India and then shack up in a luxury villa  -  I have soooo soooo many images of the poverty in India.  But if I were able to then Casa Do Rio is the top of my list !!

A megre  7,800 British pounds per week in the high season...you get all this..

More my budget is Villa Sapna - at only 500 British pounds per night..

Welcome to Villa Sapna

Yes can see the boys frolicking in the pool and me in the lounger with a G&T!!

Run me a bath please...

Love the bedding..

Happy weekend - dreaming of exotic destinations......

Colour My Day - GREEN!!

I don't mind color   - we have a lovely apple green wall in our kitchen  - sounds tacky but it works really well to give the white and stainless steel kitchen a lift- but I am a little it not bored with the color!!

But if I were brave enough and willing perhaps I could venture out in green ..

Nearly the end of the hol's

Okay the last few days of the hol's - I am not looking forward to the boys going back to school - I love the hanging out at home, the lazy days,  not having to do the morning rush , but alas all good things must come to an end!!
And it has been hot hot hot - sooo hot that I have been dreaming, okay obsessing about having a pool....

But enough of the obsessing, I have two days left with the boys so I will savour that!!

Real estate

I probably spend too much time looking at real estate on the computer  - I love looking at the ordinary homes and seeing how they decorate - perhaps it is a little like being a voyeur!!

So recently I was looking at  realestate.com.au and came across this home in St Kilda, Victoria - at $5.8mil it is a little out of my price range  - the home is beautiful  - but I am a little stumped about the photos  - not sure if they are trying to sell the home or the clothing range!!

Full pics can be found at real-estate.com.au -Property No. 106975716 -  the home is beautiful so worth a look see.

destination - Santorini

Sorry for my lax postings - it has been a busy week and I have had little energy or time to sit down and post - so once again my apologies!!
As I have sat watching the boys do swimming lessons over the last two weeks my mind has wandered the world - and I began to think of our holiday in Santorini - many many moons ago but the memories are so clear - so why not post about the island and lets have a look sees at where we could stay...

On the Rocks Hotel is at peak time around $600 per night - but what a view...

Or how about Carpe Diem -  I am not sure how much of the day I would seize if I have such luxury surrounding me!!

naturally one would need to indulge in daily massages!!!

Okay indulge me just once more as I dream of Santorini and staying at the San Antonio Hotel..

Back to reality  - I have to get the boys ready for Cricket...bugger I was enjoying the dream!  I wonder if I white washed the walls and painted all the furniture white....

Have a good weekend.
