I was wonder what it IS that differentiates a a powder room from a bathroom? (oh yeah - just another of the BIG questions!) So I looked to the inter-web to find me the answer!
It was Yahoo Answers who were kind enough to offer up the word! Simply, its a small room with toot and basin. Kinda knew it would be. But now I Know!
So I went on the look-see in the inter-web world for a lill bit of powder pretty:
Woodson and Rummerfield
Obviously the same again - but a different view of things!
I am a bit smitten with this room! I don’t consider myself a girly girl - but I want to hang out here with my fluffy kitten heeled slippers and - well, powder my nose!

Oh and THIS one - it gives me feelings of hardcore love and devotion.

This one I found on Katie Did blog. It kinda hurts me to think about it… I just don’t think I could ‘relax’ as one needs to in such a space!

So after that picture that has me shifting in my seat, back to something not as uncomfortable! yet still a little disconcerting:

Ahem, look closer at the above pic. Just a little bit more. Do you see it? The fish -In the jars.
Apparently Siamese fighting fishies don’t really want much more space than this to live in - Apparently.
I think the littlest room in the house is always a good place for a spot of glam!

So much I LOVE about this little toot! -the lantern, the mural - the drips! ah, sigh of love…

A bit too much for a small space, me thinks.

Now I DO dig the paisley - and especially THIS paisley, but with some Willow thrown in - I vote no.

And THE end!
There are times in life when I wish I had a wealthy benefactor.
This is one of those times.
Whilst cruising the Internet for a new pad for the fella, Trevur the cat & I to call home - I came across this little bush beauty not too far from the cities bright lights:
Ah, I can already see myself having breakfast on the deck -cuppa tea in hand, looking out over the bush at the drop bears in the trees.
Ah, serenity now!
I figure if i had a house like this, the commute into town wouldn’t be so bad!
So. Anyone? Any help? A wealthy benefactor for me?
If you want to see more -or want to buy it for me - go here.
Oh, I want to go to these parties.
Seriously, how could you NOT have a fabulous time surrounded by all of this fabulousness and hard-core gorgeousness?
Event Styling done by Athony Todd - An Aussie done good in NYC. (oh I DO love those stories!) more of his work here including some fabulous interior yummies!
The glamA continues…
I have finally managed to find me some pictures of this years Spring Carnival fancy pants marquees.
(Seems all it took was to look in the newspaper! whatta know!)
So this will give you an idea of the scale of these um, tents!
You thought it was a bit small didnt you! No, it fits a few!
This colour scheme and sofa push my ’special’ buttons. For real.
I would like a light fitting like this in my house please. Complete with weekly florist visits to ‘freshen’!
Oh. I hope this looks better in person. I hate those chairs. They speak Nana’s nursing home to me!
Doesn’t have the same overall awesomeness feel as last years displays-maybe its the photos? Maybe the budget got reined in? (yeah, pun intended!)
The race has just been run and the winner is ‘Viewed’ by seriously a slither of a horses whisker! it was quite exciting really!

So I’m STILL on the Spring carnival band wagon… turns out I may a little enthusiasm for it after all!
The big race is tomorrow, the one that its all about-’The Melbourne Cup’ - the race that stops a nation! -so they say! (Oh, did I mention Its even a public holiday!)
Of course its as much, well probably more so, about the ‘fillies’ in frocks than the ‘fillies’ on the field! But all I am interested in and scour the papers to see a glimpse of, are the corporate marquees. Big brand companies go ALL out in budget and fluff to create a super space of fabulousness!
Very often in the really fabulous marquees, the creative genius behind the design and implementation is clever lass Amanda Henderson, of Gloss Creative. She is a bit clever!
Check out a few pics from last years carnival -so you know what I am on about!:
Pics via Indesign here, and more fabulousness of Gloss here.
Kinda heart breaking to think that these incredible spaces only exist for a few days…a bit sad really!
I was unable to find any images of this years fancey pants marquees, but I will keep you in the loop when I do!
So you have quite possibly seen all these pictures before -so apologies for hacking them out once again! But I would feel like a home town traitor if I didn’t spread the word!!
And so of course it has to be said, whilst we are here in lovely Melbourne town, where some horses are running around fast, A far more important race is nearing a close on the other side of the globe in the US.
So just a shout out to my blogger friends in the states: Please do me proud and vote right!
And by ‘right’ of course I mean left!!
Yay! Its Spring carnival here in My Melbourne town- woo hoo, yeah, yippee!
Did I sound excited? Does that pass as suitable enthusiasm? Hey, At least I’m trying!
It happens year after year, Melbourne goes MAD for the racing! -well, for a couple of days at least!
So to feign some interest but really to support my lovely Melbourne town, I have found a collection of gorgeousness with a common theme!
Hmm, it seems appropriate to say -’round up’ for this post!

And so now you do know!
Now this is the kinda bling that gets me saying I do. Oh YES, indeed I do!
Diamond Buttoning… its just so, SO pretty and I think I can make the commitment to love looong time!
So maybe its a bit of a stretch to include this in the Texture Junkie category - but it kinda works!

I’ve just had like a mini heart attack or something. It was brought on by the extreme excitement of the parcel that arrived this morning.
Admittedly this is far more exciting for me, and most likely wont raise your heart rate too much, but as its been established in previous posts - its all about ME anyway!!!!!!
So this parcel of great excitement is the 500ish page book of Interior awesomeness and extreme fabulousness in the form of this years “Oscars of the Design World” (they say! -and yeah, I’d agree!) -Andrew Martin Design Review (volume 12)
If you haven’t seen this or any of the past issues, just picture in your mind a HUGE book, choc-a-block full of gorgeous interiors and fabulousness created by designers from all around the globe.
As Well as the pictorial fabulousness, its also full of amusing and witty tit bits about each designers.
Some examples to share with you of these witty titbits:
“At ease with his own perfection, he cites modesty as his best feature…”
“Surgically attached to his Tag Heuer watch, he fantasizes about Tyra Bank’s bedroom…”
“A volatile designer with a penchant for leather aprons and a love of abundance, Giano believes that a tan is the answer to most of his body anxieties. With his sea blue eyes and tuxedo shirt, he is happiest contemplating the ocean or flying in his dreams…just thinking of babies makes him weep”
“Hedayet has a love of excess, burgers and Quaker oats: Dina has a serious sugar habit and admits her social life could do with some input”
Ahh see! Its witty I tells you! And far more interesting than page after page of “I took inspiration from every second crater in the moon… the ‘vision’… ooh the ‘textures’….blah blah blah (oh, um, I just realised that sometimes in client meetings I can sound a little like that…oh dear!!)
So to share a little, and show you that it IS really a reason to be TOTALLY excited by, here are some random pics I have taken to show you that this IS worthy of a ‘moment’!!
You see? It IS something to get excited by! Ahh, its the best $150 bucks of inspiration Ive spent (well, THIS week!!)
