I’ve been focusing on getting our garden pumping over the Christmas break and I am so happy with how it’s coming along. For so long I had dreamed of a tropical garden ❤️ This is part of our front entrance garden. A lush inviting entrance garden not only welcomes guests to your house but creates street appeal!

Loving my new Coastal Craft piece. I love this mother/daughter business who collect driftwood off our local beaches and create beautiful art with them! Each piece is unique! They do custom orders also 😉 She has done something very unique for me for the boys birthdays!

Is anyone else putting their Christmas tree up today? Note: No animals were harmed for these pictures… it’s a Christmas tradition in our house 😂

Always a sure sign that Summer is approaching! I love Frangipani trees. That sweet scent of Summer! We cleared out a lot of the gardens when we moved in as there were a lot of sick and unkempt plants but this majestic beauty at our entrance had to stay. We have planted one opposite to one day make a frangipani arch ❤️

Our en-suite! We knew we had to improve on the pokey 1.6x2m en-suite that was adjoining our master bedroom! It just didn’t work. Moving the wall out into the hallway to give us an additional 1m of space and a hallway storage cupboard was the best thing we did! I love this space now. It’s calming and do functional! I saw this design for a vanity and just fell in love with it. made it happen 😍. This was another room that and I spent a long time on trying all different options as we did the main bathroom at the same time, but I’m glad we did because I think the end result speaks for itself!

The main bathroom! This one was a real team effort and we love the coastal vibe it gives off. Such a beautiful and practical (young kids 🙋🏼‍♀️)space! The timber look tiles I loved from the start and the custom vanity by Perfect Fit Kitchens and Joinery is beautiful! Alot of hours spent with for Style on this one as it was a awkward space to work with but the end product is worth it!

S for Style found us a front door we love from Hume Doors & Timber! We decided to go for Dulux to make it a feature!

The front of our property is currently a work in progress. It didn’t take us long to want to make some immediate changes, we will keep working on this as we go. The wooden screens not only blocked a huge amount of light from the front two bedrooms, they weren’t that appealing to look out onto! So with the help of our two mini’s, we knocked out the wooden screen to open up the area, enclosed the side wall and rendered it for protection for our cars and doubled the size of the two skylights and replaced the coverings with a more transparent roofing sheet with the help our our builder. It’s opened the whole area up so much! The light in the bedrooms has more than doubled! We recently got these two large planters made by .got.wood They are super solid and will sit under each window to allow some nice greenery to be seen out each window. We painted them quarter to fit in with our colour scheme. Plantation shutters have helped with privacy in the bedrooms!

Styling our outdoor entertaining area with S for Style was so much fun and I have to say, this area is everything we wanted it to be! The bold choice of Dulux to bring the area to life really paid off! The swing seat from Haus of Rattan I often fall asleep in and is one of my favourite spots! The roof design improves airflow along with the Ventair fans. The VELUX skylights flood the area with natural light and in turn add natural light to the inside areas coming off this one. The IKEA outdoor lounge works well for the area and can be moved around easily to suit. The OutdoorElegance aluminum table is strong and easy to clean and the Early Settler Furniture chairs bring interest and comfort. We now have built in storage the length of the bench seat because… who doesn’t love storage! We found the perfect cushions from Pillow Talk Australia and Adairs to bring it all together. I love plants so incorporating them through our house design has been a must! We still plan to change the upper deck along the house to merbau also, hang a large picture over the bench seat and add an indoor kitchen to the corner on the right… all in good time!

We loved the placement of this outdoor entertaining area, however it was hot and each time we had rain it cascaded down from various places inside and off the back of it (substandard building and no down pipes will do that!). With the help of our builder we recreated the space. I’ll post completed photos in a separate post but we rebuilt the roof, incorporating VELUX skylights to flood the area with natural light, installed Ventair fans to help with airflow and mozzie control, added down lights, rendered the wall, installed merbau deck and storage bench seat and then hung a gorgeous swing seat from Haus of Rattan for coastal vibes! Bring on summer!!
