I picked up these gorgeous vintage bamboo chairs off ebay a few months ago and then had the difficult decision of choosing a fabric to recover them in.
I decided on this fabulous Rubie Green fabric from Amanda at Oliveaux and couldn't be happier with the result. I was so excited when I picked these up from the upholsterer on Friday. We will be putting these in one of our styling projects that we will hopefully do a post on in the next week or so.
Happy Birthday to the most wonderful sister a girl could ask for. Today is Hayley's birthday so I thought I would post a few pictures from where we took her to celebrate (a little early) on Friday. Belle Epoque is a gorgeous French restaurant/cafe/bar at the Emporium in Fortitude Valley. We had been meaning to check this place out for ages and finally got around to it and it was well worth the anticipation.
I just had to sneak a picture of the bathroom in - lovely subway tiles and fresh towels.
Of course we couldn't leave without picking up some famous French macaroons. Well Hayle, I hope you have the most fabulous birthday and the year ahead is filled with happy surprises! Love Trace xx

How gorgeous is this entry! More stunning wallpaper with lovely accent pieces like the black draws, mirror and chair. You just know that the rest of this house is going to be fabulous.
All available space has been used to make this entry beautiful. The tiles are sensational and busy enough that the rest of the decor needs to be simple so as not to detract them. Love the door as well.
How sweet is this! Love the white floorboards and the vintage typewriter on the desk - all looks very English. All images via House to home.
After many years of looking at Martha Stewart's decorating ideas, I'm always impressed by her simple yet beautiful style. This kitchen from her website is no exception. I love these black metal bar stools and the gorgeous silver lights.
The stone flooring is just perfect against the painted grey cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. The floral display on the bench and the baskets soften the look to make it homely and inviting.
The cream coloured dinnerware looks beautiful stacked together in the grey timber and glass cabinet.
Just look at the marble butler sink - I would love one of these when I redo my kitchen.
And the most important appliance in the kitchen - that's not for the casual coffee drinker. I'm in love.

Before
There are many pretty blues out there but this is what I like to call "ugly blue". Almost any colour change would be an improvement on this.
After
Agh! That's better, I can breath again! The cream with the softer duck egg blues is so much calmer to look at.
After
Love the bit of lime green added in also - so fresh! It's great to see small spaces being so well utilised - it takes a clever designer to pull it together without the room looking cluttered.

It's rare that you come across a home that you love everything about , but when I came across this home in House Beautiful I just adored it. It is so simple, uncluttered and light. The owner and decorator is Victoria Pearson, a photographer. Its great to see people decorating to suit their life, not just filling a house with the latest trends. In the article, Victoria talks about her love of green which you can see touches of in every room - another reason why I love all the rooms...
Wow - I wouldn't change a thing. Beautiful.I have loved these hexagonal tiles for a really long time but always in bathrooms. Lately I've been admiring them in kitchens - they add interest to the space without being domineering. Plain white are stunning but I also love when the black feature tiles are added - so timeless!

This kitchen is a fabulous example of the impact these tiles can have on a kitchen - outstanding!

Of course they still look amazing in a bathroom.
