http://nostalgiaandnow.blogspot.com/2010/11/no-matter-where-i-serve-my-guests.html
Tuesday, November 9, 2010. No Matter where i serve my guests . It seems they like my kitchen best.". A little plaque that's been on the family kitchen wall since i was a kid and it's my topic for today. The kitchen - - Kitchen 'Room' vs Open Plan. I want a kitchen which is more old school style. I connect many a fond memory to it as a child growing up. I hate seeing my dishwasher from the lounge room and fridge from the dining. appliances are terrible unattractive. Our family home was early 1900's so the...

Nostalgia and Now: Shades Of Autumn
http://nostalgiaandnow.blogspot.com/2013/05/shades-of-autumn.html
Thursday, May 23, 2013. Even though it’s still meant to be Autumn, it has been cold here in Brisbane. With the underneath of the house enclosed now, I had visions of warmth and cosiness on the top floor. No such luck. I bought this last week and am most enamoured with it. I was gazing at it for the longest time last night trying to work it out. The men’s posture is tall and proud, dressed in white with a summer glow about them. Head high and kind of jovial looking. L lived in Honkers for years and years ...

Nostalgia and Now: March 2013
http://nostalgiaandnow.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 21, 2013. Numero 2: Carrie's Place. This is Carrie’s Place. Carrie and I have very similar likes. Needless to say, shopping together in Antique Centre’s, Vintage Fairs, Markets and anything that sells interesting objects can cause who saw it first ‘oh whatever, you have it then …’. Kind of banter. All in good fun (or so we say.). One of two Bitossi bedside lamps (stunning, stunning, stunning). The Magnolia is homegrown. I love this picture with the whale as a silhouette. It's in lovel...

Nostalgia and Now: April 2013
http://nostalgiaandnow.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 22, 2013. When I saw these two at a garage sale on Saturday I just had to have. Aren't they just the most adorable little dust collectors? I don't have a whatnot stand, 'A' would pass out if he came home and we did. He already thinks we live in an old people's home. Thursday, April 18, 2013. Lighting Duo's and storm clouds. These enormous lights are utterly fabulous. But I have nowhere to hang. This is one half of a pair. Nice heavy marble. The woman I purchased these from has had t...A few...

Nostalgia and Now: Crystal Head Vodka
http://nostalgiaandnow.blogspot.com/2012/04/crystal-head-vodka.html
Friday, April 13, 2012. On Wednesday night a package wrapped in newspaper sat on the kitchen bench with a card and bunch of flowers next to it. It was from B – our 5-month old staffy to say thank you. Isn’t he thoughtful? This is what was underneath the newspaper. A bottle of Crystal Head Vodka. Yay. I’d hoped to pick some up when in the States and then forget when leaving NY (and my bags were bursting at the seams). Now Australia stock it! April 13, 2012 at 4:43 PM. April 13, 2012 at 4:48 PM. Im serious...

Nostalgia and Now: stairs
http://nostalgiaandnow.blogspot.com/2011/03/stairs.html
Thursday, March 31, 2011. I've been doing a bit of research on internal stairs and in the process have come across some fabulous interiors. Great area of the home to add a bit of confined colour with carpet runners like above. Convenient little compact powder room. I very much like how nice and open this is above. Love a reading nook under the stairs. This one makes me think of winter time - up in the mountains somehwere with a log fire roaring . This pattern on the spiral staircase is gorgeous. We have ...

Nostalgia and Now: House For Sale - Holland Park
http://nostalgiaandnow.blogspot.com/2013/04/house-for-sale-holland-park.html
Monday, April 15, 2013. House For Sale - Holland Park. My Pal S came down Friday night and made me aware of this house for sale in Holland Park in Brisbane. It's near my old hunting ground and in a pocket of the suburb which is very lovely. Graham Bligh is a Brisbane architect who designed the home. Check out his portfolio of other properties here. The exposed beams are magnifique and that rug. I wonder if that comes with the house? I'm so in love with this property. Good bathroom. Love the fixtures.

Nostalgia and Now: Lighting Duo's & storm clouds
http://nostalgiaandnow.blogspot.com/2013/04/lighting-duos-storm-clouds.html
Thursday, April 18, 2013. Lighting Duo's and storm clouds. I love snagging things in two's and seem to have an over abundance of matching lights and lamps at the moment. In fact. Lighting has become a little out of hand around here. My most recent addition are a pair of shell chandeliers I could barely contain my excitement when they came home. I sat and looked at them for about half an hour after I'd hung them. Two get's me every time. This is a wall sconce option for the bathroom downstairs. A few Deco...

Nostalgia and Now: my love of tretchikoff
http://nostalgiaandnow.blogspot.com/2010/12/my-love-of-tretchikoff.html
Wednesday, December 15, 2010. My love of tretchikoff. I purchased my first Tretchikoff about 3 years ago and this is her. I LOVE her the way Oprah loves Australia. Isn't she beautiful. Her name is. Last year for my birthday, friends bought me these girls. Meet. On the top and. And also the divine. When i was searching for his website, i came across these wall murals. Not sure where the first one is from but the second one is apparently in a lounge bar in Notting Hill, UK called. That's fair isn't it?
