Bathroom Panelling

A while ago I wrote a post called When I Build a House and I must be dreaming again today. I’m just itching to do another renovation, or to build and I catch myself all the time now thinking more about it. Kingscliff – down in Northern NSW is the place that I’m pretty keen to [...]

Waterfront in Cape Cod

Waterfront in Cape Cod

 Sometimes when you look at luxury homes for sale you see those over-the-top elegant ones which are amazing, stunning homes which are grand and then you see those homes which are comfy and liveable. It reminds me of the ‘Revenge’ TV show where I would say about 95% of people prefer Emily’s beach house to Victoria’s [...]

Happenings

  Can I admit something first? I’ve been neglectful to my blog here lately. I’ll show you why… The Hamptons Style bricks and mortar store has been opened for a week now! It’s been sooo good to meet such nice people who follow the HS Facebook Page and blog that have taken the time to come in to [...]

When I Build A House

 One day … No determined date here. Just ‘one day’. You know that day? I will build a house. And in this house will be… A white staircase with dark trims White exposed beams Storage just like this at the end of the bath White plantation shutters & a relaxed feel A beautiful kitchen with [...]
