We have had such a crazy week trying to finish things off before the Easter break! I'm sharing a snippet of my new paving that was completed last week in my backyard. As you can see, I still have a lot of work to do...maybe adding some big pots with flowers to bring some colour into the garden. I also need some new outdoor furniture but good things come to those who wait! I'm so pleased with the job our pavers did laying the random sandstone. It has made such a huge difference to the yard as our old paving was a dark reddish brown clay paver so it's now so much lighter now. Well enough about me, hope everyone has a wonderful Easter break...Hayley is off overseas again, sourcing some wonderful things for Porchlight clients and I will be holding down the forte here! Happy Easter, Tracey xx

Gorgeous Friday!
All of these outdoor areas make me feel relaxed and ready for the weekend! It helps that our backyard landscaping was finished this afternoon after months of planning and waiting! I finally have grass instead of dirt! I will post pictures once I have my outdoor furniture and I have prettied it up a bit! Hope you all have a gorgeous weekend! Tracey xx

Beautiful Spaces!
Loving all of these spaces, created by designer James Michael Howard!
This balustrading is perfection and love the mismatched chairs!
What a gorgeous way to add something special to a blank wall or small space!
Looks like the perfect spot to put on your shoes before walking out the door! Gorgeous!

Chateau de Buno
Chateau de Buno is nestled in the lush green of the Gâtinais Nature Park, only 12 miles from Fontainebleau. It's a green oasis of tranquility, close to nature and with a wealth of rivers, marshes and forests. The castle has a rough-stone, medieval finish, plentiful shutters and a neo-Renaissance tower, but the inside could hardly present a more extreme contrast to the husk. The furnishings were daringly re-dressed in the 1950s, featuring now a skilfull mix of contemporary and antique touches. The stylish rooms and suites, as well as the welcoming reading and music salons, are luminous and exude class: a sweep of parquet topped by a vibrant Art Deco rug, a majestic Third Empire bed and a boudoir in the tower… The secret of De Buno’s spell is its «human scale», and its many centuries history wrapped in a romantic aura.

What's not to love!
Discovered two great new blogs tonight (well new to me anyway)! The first one is Secrets of Domestic Bliss which is very stylish and fun and which led me to the second discovery - Table Tonic which is linked to an online shop, selling the gorgeous cushions that are pictured! The most exciting part of this discovery is that she is Sydney based! Don't you just love the green zig-zag cushions!

Tea on the verandah
A beautiful Clayfield now on the market in North Brisbane.
I love the bamboo chairs and the wide expanse verandahs wrapping around the freshly painted white timber home. Certainly looks inviting to me!
