Fabulous floor tiles

When we eventually build the dream house we will most likely be having tile floors, I really would like timber, but it works out more expensive than tiles....depending on the tile you use of course!

I love the colour & the pattern they have used to lay these tiles, but I am guessing they are probably travertine, which is also out of my budget.....

I'm sure I will be able to find something that looks similar in either porcelain or ceramic.I know I will definitely be able to achieve the look colour wise with something less expensive.

But then I guess I will be pushing the labour costs up by going for a more technical lay out,but it is certainly worth looking into.


It really is challenging trying to create the look you love with a budget, I appear to always be drawn to the most expensive things.
When the dream guy & I go looking at house things the conversation usually goes like this...
Me " Ooh I like that!"
Dream guy "Of course you do, its the dearest one there!"

What can I say... Lucky dreaming is free!!!

So, do you have any fabulous advice for me on floor tiling, its always greatly appreciated.

Ottoman fantasy

I'm a huge fan of the humble ottoman.
There are so many shapes, sizes & styles around, not to mention fabric choices.

Unfortunately we are spatially challenged in our rental & there doesn't appear to be room for an ottoman any where, but right now these are the ones i am fantasizing about.

What do you think?

Recycled bathroom idea


Don't ya just love it!

i wish i was easy going enough to include such a whimsical idea into my home!
Some people have no fear when it comes to implementing their decor ideas, I'm a little to serious & put lots of thought into resale & appealing to other peoples taste.

I must admit, I really love this bicycle vanity....
What do you think?
Would you purchase a home with this set up in the bathroom?

Have a fantastic weekend everyone.

Serene living

Aside from the dogs on the couch, I don't think there is a single thing in this image I don't like...

A tufted ottoman, coral displayed the shelves, hydrangeas  a serene colour scheme & fabulous kitchen!

Could you enjoy living here?
