A bit on the side

Totally love this new side table design from Serena & Lily. Curves in all the right places!

Birthday thanks

So we celebrated my 33rd birthday this week in style at Cross Town Eatery. Everyone had a great night and I was so happy to be able to celebrate it with my closest girlfriends. Thank you girls for a fab night out.

We had a small but perfect family celebration on Monday night too!

Thank you for all your birthday wishes everyone.

Desperation

That is how I feel at the moment. I'm desperate. Not sure what to do, what to say, how to act.

I've been sitting here for an hour trying to soak up the news my Dad sobbed to me over the telephone.

He has been sick for many, many years (20 years infact) with an extremely rare form of cancer that just keeps reappearing year in year out. This past year has been pretty horrible. The growth rate of the tumors has been fast to say the least.

They are now affecting his mobility. Yes, they are paralizing him and he is loosing his ability to walk. He was told this would most likely occur, but he has been praying it wouldn't.

My Dad is the most positive, inspirational person you could meet. He has beaten the odds on too many occasions.

To hear your own Dad sob to you over the telephone what is happening is gut wrenching. I know this is a really personal story to write, but I felt I must. I just need to get it out. I'm probably not even making much sense.

Dreaming of being here

Twinkle, twinkle little star

How I wonder ..... is this is the same home??


I'm thinking that it is. I'm also thinking that both styles are perfect!

I heart : Twin beds

When Anna from ABT and I started planning our home 18 months ago, one of the first things she suggested was placing two beds in my daugther's room. She said it looks beautiful and she was spot on. I am so glad I took her advice.

I don't have a photo of Olivia's room to share with you today, but I will soon I promise. Instead, here are eight rooms I think are just perfect. The twin beds just balance the room perfectly.

Whilst it's not a cheap exercise having to purchase two of everything, it certainly does give impact to a room.

So if you have the space and budget I think twin beds are the way to go. Great for sleep overs or the ever fun game of musical beds at 2am.

Can imagine this one at the Lake House

Boys heaven

I could move right in and stay for a month

Brooke's magical touch. I love her work.

Guest room perfection, I adore the bedheads
