If you've never thought of having a 60x90cm woollen rug at the 

Kitchen and Laundry Sink, now's the time with winter approaching...

You might say, "wool at the kitchen sink" but let me tell you

I'm no super clean cook!  I just vacuum, spot clean as needed 

and professionally clean if necessary.

If you're really dangerous in the kitchen you can always go for 

a Dash & Albert in/outdoor rug!

If you're interested in this or any other wonderful Dash & Albert products

direction of your nearest Dash stockist.

Giving Thanks

 Happy Thanksgiving

I really believe this should be an international holiday.

We never had Pilgrims sharing their first harvest with the Native Americans 

here in Australia but we have plenty to be thankful for. 

So, take a little time and give thanks for all you have.

Missing you today, Natalie....

House to Home

Transformed blog

During the 1980's my family did the whole US country look, my parents built a house from the Southern Living architectural plans books  and surrounded it with cottage gardens.  Our home was filled with braided rugs, quilts, checked and plaid fabrics, travel trunks as side tables, coffee tables, as blanket boxes at the end of beds.   Mail boxes, decorative pieces and American pressed brass and tin lights were purchased and rewired. Even though most of that is gone now, a few things have stayed in our homes.  Us kids have travel trunks/blanket boxes and the old quilts are still used on cold winter's nights.

Looking at theses  images above just reminds me that practical, functional furniture will always find a home  in my house!

Books - Some of my Favourites

I love a good coffee table book

Only problem, I need about ten coffee tables

Above a just a few of the books I enjoy looking at regularly 

If the Highlands mist keeps up this weekend, I just might spend it reading!

Have a fabulous weekend
