    A New Hamptons-Style House in Wembley Downs

    May 19, 2018June 8, 2018

    Having built four houses across a range of looks from coastal to Colonial to contemporary, empty nesters Debra and Steve knew exactly what style they wanted their next home to be. The end result is what they both call their dream house – a beautiful, timeless Hamptons-style home perfect for dinner parties and entertaining. Beginning

    • NOW and BEFORE โœจ Pantry Kondo time! Eight months sleep regression going on in our house and we have all been running a little ragged ๐Ÿ˜ด But I did manage to start Kondo-ing our pantry which at least makes me sooort of feel like I have my shit together ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿคช I know the before is slightly disturbing (as is my desire to show our messy house on the internet ๐Ÿค”) but more disturbing is that I found a bottle of sushi seasoning... with an expiry date of May 2011 ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ˜ฆ I remember buying it for my first dinner party here (first and last time I ever attempted to make sushi) NEVER used it again. I also discovered we have been subconsciously preparing for a condiments apocalypse. Why do we have no bread, but five unopened jars of mustard? If you ever have dire mustard needs, you know where to find me ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ Submitting this as part of @thestylecurators x @therejectshop Marie Kondo #stylecuratorchallenge - head on over to her feed to check it out and enter โœจ

    • Finally checked out @zerascapes in North Freo - awesome succulent nursery. I'm fascinated by xeriscaping (landscaping with very little or no water) and they had so many cool succulents and other plants. I took the kids along - feel like I'm always hunting for fun things to do with the kids that I enjoy too (Clearly they LOVED it ๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿ™„ What kind of three year old doesn't want to carry your heavy plant he already hates? "Use your Hulk muscles.") I've been on a self-imposed "plant-buying ban" for Jan, but I've well and truly broken it now ๐Ÿ˜… Thanks for the heads-up @jadejust_ @ascher_smith! ๐ŸŒต

    • Now and before (and super-before ๐Ÿ˜) Knocking out the old 70s sunroom made the available space in our yard much more useable, and also opens the space up visually - now we can enjoy all the beautiful big trees here. The house wraps in an L-shape around the deck and I was so worried the new patio would darken the inside of the house too much but it hasn't - those light panels above the gutters do a good job! โ˜€๏ธ Never would have thought our old 70s crap shack would look so much cleaner.

    • Customer appreciation post and a little positive reviewโœจ We bought this Vixen retractable mixer with pull out hose from @dorfaustralia for our laundry reno, maybe five years ago from @parkwood.plumbing.centre. We liked it so much when we renovated the kitchen we bought the same one but in matte black. The other day after four years of use, a piece wore out and it stopped working. My husband rang @dorfaustralia and with no fuss at all they express-mailed out a replacement which came just two days later - problem fixed! Thank you, Dorf people. Definitely appreciated but no-one was more chuffed than Little Miss Nerd (swipe) as she has her bath here every day and one of her favourite things in the world is sitting there with her face under the tap ๐Ÿคจ #fairenough #findyourbliss ๐Ÿ™„

    • New blog post up ๐Ÿ  What I'd buy on Facebook Marketplace today (if my house wasn't full and my pockets weren't empty ๐Ÿ˜‰) I've been a bargain hunter and a lover of secondhand furniture all my life, but I've only just recently discovered FB Marketplace - have you? There are so many insane bargains ๐Ÿคค I knew I had to team up with my friend @nelly_reffet for this post. Not only is Nelly an amazing interior designer who doesn't shy away from hunting for the perfect vintage piece for her clients, she's also THE Marketplace queen ๐Ÿ‘‘ We're sharing some of our fave bargains on there at the moment - and Nelly's also styled some gorgeous interior schemes just from Marketplace goodies. Link in my profile to the full post of our round-up โœจ (and swipe to see just a few of the things that caught our eye ๐Ÿ˜ฎ and all decently priced... which is your fave?)

    • As a journalist I'm usually the byline, not the source ๐Ÿ™ˆ Make sure you pick up a copy of The Sunday Times @perthnow today - I was interviewed for an awesome in-depth article by Kate Campbell on 'influencers' and how the industry ad standard guidelines have changed over the years in regards to disclosing sponsored content. (I have to admit, personally I'm not mad on the term 'influencer'). If you've ever wondered what the guidelines are these days, you have to read it. It is a topical issue and a few people have already messaged me this morning in relation to the article wanting to know more about making money on IG, blogs etc - let me know if this is something you've also always wanted to know more about or if you have any questions etc. (I have a little something up my sleeve! ๐Ÿ˜„) Story photo ๐Ÿ“ธ @lensmandan.
