Had the best morning stickybeaking my way through

Had the best morning stickybeaking my way through my bud Larissa @idugaholedad's new build home. I'm in LOVE 😍 It's one of the most lovingly planned homes I've ever seen - Larissa and her hubby spent years planning how they would build a house for their three beautiful kids (and Monty their 12yo dog 💛) drawing on design influences from their years spent living in Queensland and Texas. It's freaking amazing, feels so warm (a real reflection of them) and I'm so regretting I didn't snap a pic of their beautiful navy kitchen for you, but my pics don't do this house justice anyway!
.
Just a few of my fave features.... the incredible kids book storage in the playroom/kids reading room crafted by @built_in_wa, the giant eucalyptus tree in the front garden they carefully retained, and designed around, plus the front yard yabby pond the whole family built together, rock by rock, the @mustardmade storage lockers (one for each human family member) @bedtonic in the guest room, and VJ panelling everywhere 😍, Larissa's OCD/love of order showcased in the scullery, the stunning jarrah balcony siding by @artoftimber, who also laid the recycled jarrah floors (including reclaimed floorboards from an old city brothel... in the kids rooms 😂).

After only a year of having them hidden in a cupbo

After only a year of having them hidden in a cupboard, we hung festoon lights out the back yesterday! They're so pretty and they remind me of weddings. I shared on Stories yesterday that we bought a big floor fan for out here, as we'd read that mozzies can't fly properly in strong winds, so a big fan should equal less bites, right? Let's sacrifice the childrens comfort, risk Ross River virus and have a late dinner outside to put this theory to the test! 🧛🏻‍♂️💪🏽 Well, after 90 minutes of fan-forced outdoor dining, we can tell you a strong fan breeze will protect you IF you are sitting basically in front of it 😂 as soon as you move out of the breeze those suckers will zoom right in 🦟 Basically if you can situate yourself in a nice wind tunnel you should be ok. We might just buy three or four more fans now. Honestly I'm not even kidding. (I will try anything for less mozzies. We have tried citronella flares, stinky plants, those little stickers with the smiley faces I bought off an Instagram ad. The best thing we've found so far is Nature's Botanical insect repeller - worth getting!)

If we ever sell this house, I wonder if I can make

If we ever sell this house, I wonder if I can make it so that no one is allowed to cut down the dragon tree 🌴 Because I think I would actually cry if I ever drove past one day and it was gone! My kind of lovely, absent-minded Sunday thoughts 😅🌞

I made a picture today! One of my BFFFs @carlywats

I made a picture today! One of my BFFFs @carlywatson_417 introduced me to the work of local artist @themoodyrabbit a while back and I have stalked her ever since 🥸 Hannah's paintings are so colourful and sweet and pretty, with lots of animals and Australian flora and fauna 🦘🐨 Today I'd booked one of Hannah's oil painting workshops and it was SO nice to have some quiet creative time 😊 I feel like on the weekends I'm almost always just running around for the kids - I rarely plan ahead to do things just for myself. I'm sure some of you are the exact same! But a few weeks ago I decided I was going to make more of an effort to do "proper weekend things"... and this workshop seemed perfect 🎨 I've never painted with oils before and Hannah was such a good teacher. Would totally recommend having a look at the classes she runs (they are so affordable too!) or just paying a visit to her cute shop 🐇(there's coffee nearby too ☕)

Of all the cool people in Perth I've met in real life through Instagram, @kawa_heart_studio and @8footwalls have to be two of the coolest (and nicest). Dee is a stylist, creative and 'crazy market lady' who lets out their amazing old studio for photo shoots; her hubby Desmond is an artist and muralist under his business 8 Foot Walls. This is one of his prints which is hanging proudly in our entry now, making me happy every time I come home 🌅 This one is called Ocean Dust of Yesteryear - I'll link to their online paintings and print store in my Stories so you can see the others, they are ALL magical 🌴 Swipe for a look back in time at our entry... who would have thought that 70s arch we joyfully knocked out is back in fashion now 😆 It's funny seeing how your personal style has evolved... I no longer keep a giant cooking pot by the front door for one.
