Beach House Chic

My husband, Scott, have a favourite secret getaway place in Australia - Anna Spiro's beach house on Stradebroke Island. We love staying here, the island is small, quite and lined with stunning beaches that only reside in Queensland, Australia. 

The locals are truly down to earth, and very true blue, making anytime spent here truly peaceful and relaxing.

Anna's beach house is not only a chic reflection of straddie life, it is inspiring, comfortable, functional and just a true reflection of Anna's design style. It is beach house chic at its finest! 

So imagine my suprise when flicking through the latest Australian Woman's Weekly magazine, which I only ever buy when I am homesick, to come across an amazing 6 page spread of Anna's beach house! 

Congrats Anna, it fabulous!, as is your hospitality! Looking forward to our next stay. 

To see more of Anna's Chic Design Style, check out her blog - Absolutely Beautiful Things. I will post up some of my own phtos of Anna's Beach House when I return to my home in Jakarata.

 ... and now I am even more homesick! Bugger!!! 

Well Read

I find Australians, to be very inspirational with design, interiors and all round creativity. So when the following book came out, I simply had to have it. 

The chance to see inside the private world of such inspirational people, is such a treat. What inspires others and what makes them tick always fascinates me.

Design School

I am so excited to be continuing with my design study journey!

After postponing studies to follow my husband's career, I am finally getting

back into it all - yeah for me!

In November, after what feels like an eternity of dreaming and 

researching countless correspondence schools, I enrolled with the

International School of Colour and Design. 

I am so excited and can't wait to plunge into it all starting this weekend ad-mist the craziness of the silly season!
