An office space that inspires, is an office space we all desire. Creating an environment that has everything at reach, adequate lighting, inspiration boards, a comfortable chair and a computer is a must. To foster creativity we need to consider design and layout, have elements that brighten the space like coordinating book files and pen holders. Personalising your desk with objects that represent you and your life and placing words of wisdom and photos of friends and family ensure a warm and friendly environment. My personal workspace features black and white a close representation of my personal style. I like to have 2 computer...

Eating Out In Sydney: Woolwich Pier Hotel Over the weekend I had a desire for a steak! We don’t eat much red meat in our house with a vegetarian who eats chicken so when my young Miss was at a party we ventured to our local pub Woolwich Pier Hotel. As we waited for our dinner with a few drinks this time sitting in the bar stool along a long share bench, I got the opportunity to take in the bar.  The subway tiling that had been used stood out to me, maybe that's because I’m trying to make up my mind...

Black bath tubs - There is something about a black bath that just makes me stop!   Its different, its elegant and its special. There is always the expectation that bath tubs will be white. Remember when we use to think Avocado and Pink were a great colour for fittings, but Black stand on its own. Its classic, it has style, it says luxury. Could you do a black bath tub? Maybe I could, I think it would have to look like stone like the one below used in the rooms at the Saffire Freycinet Lodge in Tasmania. Check out the great collection in Remodelista's post...

Black white and grey in a bathroom is always classic and I keep coming back to it. Bathrooms are expensive to change and bathroom renovations should last for 15 to 20 years. Colours come and go so it makes sense to select pieces that will last. Great bathroom design is made up of - Well thought out spaces Storage to hide away unnecessary items Functional bathroom vanities that cater for the number of people in the house Showers that keep the water in ( single pieces of glass are terrible for a family you need a door) Ventilation that works Lighting that falls...
