Beautiful fire

I am a bit obsessed with fire (but who isn't) so heres another stunning firepit, this is such a gorgeous spot, by Spirit Level in Australia all you need is gluwein and a blanket. Taking orders from tomorrow!

Swimming Pools

I know its the middle of winter but its a good time to start thinking about a pool if that's on your wish list. When its starts getting hot and you just want to strip off and jump on in, it's probably going to be a bit late. Remember good things take a bit of time and for something like a pool you want to get it beautifully right. Heres a few of my finds I just love...

Paths curvy or straight?

I have paths on my mind as we have a few coming up in jobs we are starting soon, I just love a long straight path flanked by soft fluffy planting but then of course being fanciful as I am, I also love a beautiful curving path, so here's a few to share with you

A single tree

Sometimes its just a single tree (or two) that makes the impact, that goes for inside too the changing colours, shadows and indication of season are important to our being

Walled Vege Garden

Here's cute as vege garden owned by former Vogue fashion editor Babs Simpson, I love the way its at a lower level and is protected from bunnys and other creatures that might nick your veges. Sits perfectly with the modernist house and gives order to the wildflower meadow behind
