I know there is more to life than just black, white and grey, but I just can’t get past the simplicity of monochrome. This Finnish home in Helsinki uses white as it’s backdrop then splashes the sweetest spots of texture to fill the rooms with homey love. 

The day Guy and I have been waiting for has finally arrived…house building day! About 2 years ago we purchased a house in Sydney’s eastern suburbs with plans to do a full knock down and re-build. We have been working with the super talented and super tall Joe Snell on the architectural planning and you could say, the house he has designed has exceeded anything we could have ever dreamt.

 It’s no secret that we had an amazing time in Vienna at Eurovision. Here are some of the street shots I managed to capture amongst the madness. We spent most of our trip in Vienna then travelled a day through Salzburg then drove to Munich for a day. So many fun moments and literally everything was a photo!

I used to be an avid reader of books. I loved going to the book shop and purchasing a new book, then devouring it over a cup of tea…or 10!  When my first baby, Hudson was born, my reading came to a sudden holt when everything baby and survival became my top priority. I feel like am only just starting to rise back up to the surface and come out of the new born phase/haze (after the birth of my second baby, Archer who just turned 1) therefore – I’m back in business when it comes to books!

If I had one word to describe the Eurovision experience it would be….WOW. For those of you who didn’t see the news and the lead up, my lovely husband Guy Sebastian sang at this years Eurovision Song Contestant, in Vienna, as a wildcard entry representing our country AUSTRALIA!!
