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. It embodies all of my favourite features - lots of white, that relaxed, beachy vibe, and a good helping of original art.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinrNozx9Xxc8bYQq8wR63Z-cRkTmPAeF-qV5K1_VO28mM6-nVhEr5D3Kd8jhtIvchLTPqaE-CCuRmmFd0rWTcS_RC9nn2xThDmChikhmFuOCYwSJAVkB-_-b15UlHzUsFNVlnM0h9FlRU/s1600/amma8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinrNozx9Xxc8bYQq8wR63Z-cRkTmPAeF-qV5K1_VO28mM6-nVhEr5D3Kd8jhtIvchLTPqaE-CCuRmmFd0rWTcS_RC9nn2xThDmChikhmFuOCYwSJAVkB-_-b15UlHzUsFNVlnM0h9FlRU/s640/amma8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOjz53iCfCi7I1wwqbVaEIg8m3qPvG13x0La0yzVl7fC-3rt7eT1jNNEcdc7Uk2_bWbhSjSfYcvTH_7ZAzFdSp1n7NUfmbOWhQywD9Tak304kdD4hj9nKy0KuZV3nDMMJXgmz9A5X29yw/s1600/amma5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOjz53iCfCi7I1wwqbVaEIg8m3qPvG13x0La0yzVl7fC-3rt7eT1jNNEcdc7Uk2_bWbhSjSfYcvTH_7ZAzFdSp1n7NUfmbOWhQywD9Tak304kdD4hj9nKy0KuZV3nDMMJXgmz9A5X29yw/s640/amma5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglGBax8jMMvSzUbIHShlfR58AUazxY5rXmHnka8Hj3430D6gbULAI0H18Fhr-xBcWv8bghDQV5F41w_tA9NW7_jiB-4FSle5nq3hfwsxFaTE-Yi2KuUepXgjsUyQR41PmXls7njxn5f6c/s1600/amma4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="390" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglGBax8jMMvSzUbIHShlfR58AUazxY5rXmHnka8Hj3430D6gbULAI0H18Fhr-xBcWv8bghDQV5F41w_tA9NW7_jiB-4FSle5nq3hfwsxFaTE-Yi2KuUepXgjsUyQR41PmXls7njxn5f6c/s640/amma4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1W_-1rW6lcOSJoap53cpWn8JDy0Dnw9_xoG2JwQnWSTUwrzj3xxZ2_7OA5aZECKCIHzzUzRl6qf3sFrnNnOrY-fVtEA5O854Na_Res3rZiSNAJhwaMnzcf67KyZ_cF1NUowFMw_mst1Q/s1600/amma3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="406" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1W_-1rW6lcOSJoap53cpWn8JDy0Dnw9_xoG2JwQnWSTUwrzj3xxZ2_7OA5aZECKCIHzzUzRl6qf3sFrnNnOrY-fVtEA5O854Na_Res3rZiSNAJhwaMnzcf67KyZ_cF1NUowFMw_mst1Q/s640/amma3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9rYVgExzmbxhfhAIVr46A5MKg8AWWPQEF722M_0eE_svfuob3W3Cm9dhyR2iVXwE16RnfRrG5KgUwz8RAtpXeXlCxJLnbq9SLmH5O-6nPIenykkNFZYNkYHRRVlt6hB3FxfE-WbwevK4/s1600/amma2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="392" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9rYVgExzmbxhfhAIVr46A5MKg8AWWPQEF722M_0eE_svfuob3W3Cm9dhyR2iVXwE16RnfRrG5KgUwz8RAtpXeXlCxJLnbq9SLmH5O-6nPIenykkNFZYNkYHRRVlt6hB3FxfE-WbwevK4/s640/amma2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinabMOXhSkMO19IdixFVMYAN-zMreMN07jiVU0Z9VSQUcy37bpaoWFz_QxLByzjum7vrWfYo_9VBlJXLn9EdzrPtRTprvfJbrfkQs9-7yuYkJ1PcIYvKKdo4ZZWD0pCQjn8cEOAejzwHM/s1600/amma1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="492" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinabMOXhSkMO19IdixFVMYAN-zMreMN07jiVU0Z9VSQUcy37bpaoWFz_QxLByzjum7vrWfYo_9VBlJXLn9EdzrPtRTprvfJbrfkQs9-7yuYkJ1PcIYvKKdo4ZZWD0pCQjn8cEOAejzwHM/s640/amma1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxbeOQTHvCObNGHUWFJc4wQvf_DQ-J0jqJqGWts5BkzOyayOPxo8W2-OvfixgFf1t82z1H3IsiVFOwC0G3x2vUrKYAnFzjFO0PKG_84-pVxNiMd4P6U_gxjV_hhroo72dOV5J9P8L2aTk/s1600/amma11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxbeOQTHvCObNGHUWFJc4wQvf_DQ-J0jqJqGWts5BkzOyayOPxo8W2-OvfixgFf1t82z1H3IsiVFOwC0G3x2vUrKYAnFzjFO0PKG_84-pVxNiMd4P6U_gxjV_hhroo72dOV5J9P8L2aTk/s640/amma11.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Oh, and what's more, it's available to <a href="http://www.uniqueestates.com.au/properties/ammamead-hol.html">rent</a>.

The Perfect Queenslander...Part III

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;

Bedroom Makeover Mark II...the saga

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br />Cast your mind back about a month or so, and you might remember the makeover of my <a href="http://driftwood-interiors.blogspot.com/2010/09/bedroom-makeover-mark-ii.html">eldest daughter's room</a>. Of course, things all and sundry have managed to slow things down to a snail's pace, but the painting is almost finished, and I'm now working on the fun stuff - all the details to be precise.
