Happenings...and house stalking

Do you ever sit back and realise how lucky you are? I try to take the time out to appreciate all the good things, and lately I've had plenty of reasons to be grateful. It's been really busy on the work front, but when work means meeting up with lovely clients, in their gorgeous homes, I'm not complaining. Over the past weeks, I've taken a couple of road trips to the beautiful Byron Bay region. It's one of my favourite places on earth, and to top it off, I was honoured to have been invited to one of the most stunning homes I've ever seen. Let me set the scene for you: a beautifully restored farmhouse, set in rolling green countryside in the Byron hinterland. I <i>know</i>. I've been intently plotting and planning my move there ever since, and as I can't manage to persuade the current owners to part with their lovely home (yet), I guess I'll have to find an alternative. So take a look at a few options I've come up with......<br /><br />Firstly, there's Coorabella, a bohemian old dame in the most amazing location. On the market for a cool $8mil+ (<a href="http://uniqueestates.com.au/Homes/Detail.aspx?id=ue150&wlid=35e38e74-3b68-4c35-95af-d6f423a37ee1" target="_blank">here's the link while it lasts</a>)...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnXlHl0r18MStu-nttkMDGdztVj4Nc3s_qKSGxAYOBbLCX_EBTTmUVdEv0E9fuTF8QD1CFrvhm9SGMBrWLQqiGZ3RyULcR9_6oIJH95kylnXJDm1zHy-xgzfoAm8b4uNDUJVce3e_476AD/s1600/ViewImage-4.aspx.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnXlHl0r18MStu-nttkMDGdztVj4Nc3s_qKSGxAYOBbLCX_EBTTmUVdEv0E9fuTF8QD1CFrvhm9SGMBrWLQqiGZ3RyULcR9_6oIJH95kylnXJDm1zHy-xgzfoAm8b4uNDUJVce3e_476AD/s640/ViewImage-4.aspx.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNzC2TkdzNA2Ivozo5QlDx0FIcuOMpUhWg9DjTJIkA_mFkrxZv9rDvKaJd3Npf39SxOCsGy8lrHx9cM2jGUjTb9B35HeXPTFfeuQK86qSc43ZlDjUXYxRFoU0nVSDw3Md1z5OFJlEf9WZA/s1600/ViewImage-5.aspx.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNzC2TkdzNA2Ivozo5QlDx0FIcuOMpUhWg9DjTJIkA_mFkrxZv9rDvKaJd3Npf39SxOCsGy8lrHx9cM2jGUjTb9B35HeXPTFfeuQK86qSc43ZlDjUXYxRFoU0nVSDw3Md1z5OFJlEf9WZA/s640/ViewImage-5.aspx.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3ZB4i0t1mydqT1kQ1MXl5IgaldDxK_w58fSJPYKigvEdKDI4XYOHdQTHgBYp_hSAISEdqAHm2e1QIHS9gTIMrvDUzn_CNR-S8SXV8QoUVR2zdYXRTFyJhWaFZCMyVASKd3TrixV9ClD6G/s1600/ViewImage.aspx.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3ZB4i0t1mydqT1kQ1MXl5IgaldDxK_w58fSJPYKigvEdKDI4XYOHdQTHgBYp_hSAISEdqAHm2e1QIHS9gTIMrvDUzn_CNR-S8SXV8QoUVR2zdYXRTFyJhWaFZCMyVASKd3TrixV9ClD6G/s640/ViewImage.aspx.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiYc5T65GqOCrG3fgkSQnQtGbUmHKZPj6rKgm4YN_nBCX2adFRJxc5N7ZnNRWlfHyXPVZ0qWhrRDvVfi9LnrAFltKSPj0ly4Es6-kS60BgTfecuSJpjWyKzGLbyhEbw_4MOfeT1jbTHgIF/s1600/ViewImage-2.aspx.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiYc5T65GqOCrG3fgkSQnQtGbUmHKZPj6rKgm4YN_nBCX2adFRJxc5N7ZnNRWlfHyXPVZ0qWhrRDvVfi9LnrAFltKSPj0ly4Es6-kS60BgTfecuSJpjWyKzGLbyhEbw_4MOfeT1jbTHgIF/s640/ViewImage-2.aspx.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have to admit - I'm imagining this painted with lashings of white paint...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Or how about Bandongrove - still one of my faves.

Hamptons Style Mark III

Before I start today's post, a little snake update: unfortunately, our friend has disappeared. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy to see him gone, I just hope it's a permanent move on his part. And unless we know exactly where he retreats to, the snake catcher can't come and remove him. Fingers crossed he's packed his bags, never to return!<br /><br />Now that the excitement of the past few days has died down a little, I thought I'd revisit my previous posts on Hamptons meets Queenslander style. I think both of these homes are just gorgeous, and I love the fusion of traditional Queensland architecture with that crisp, elegant Hamptons style. And while we're on the subject of<br />combining architectural styles, I thought it would be fun to combine some of my favourite decorative elements into a virtual design for this home.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

House love

I had an email from a lovely reader, <a href="http://www.cinnamonhill.com.au/">Steph</a>, giving me the heads-up on a home she thought I might like. Well, she wasn't wrong - '<a href="http://www.uniqueestates.com.au/properties/ammamead-hol.html">Ammamead</a>' is a gorgeous, renovated Queenslander (my fave) set amongst rolling hills in the Byron hinterland.

Morning all,<br />Those of you who've been visiting my blog for some time might remember my posts <a href="http://driftwood-interiors.blogspot.com/2010/03/perfect-queenslander.html">here</a> and <a href="http://driftwood-interiors.blogspot.com/2010/03/perfect-queenslanderpart-ii.html">here</a>, on some fantastic examples of traditional Queenslanders, meticulously renovated and restored by a very talented Brisbane couple. Well, they've just finished their latest project, and I thought I'd share it with you. This home is quite different to their previous renovations, but you can see the same attention to detail, and a definite focus on combining the best of a bygone era with all the essentials for modern living.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
