Happy Camper

Posted by om 0 comments










I was brought up camping and water-skiing. Every summer was spent camping on the edge of a lake where the day started off with an early morning ski, when the water was like glass. It was always followed by eggs and bacon cooked up by dad on a wood fired barbeque. I have very fond memories of this easy going childhood and the carefree way of life. It has taught me to respect and love the great outdoors and has given me a sense of adventure. There's nothing like sleeping under the stars, cooking sausages on the barbie and toasting marshmallows on an open fire. To this day, I still love to go camping once a year just to put me back in touch with nature.

Palm Beach Perfect

This very stylish white weatherboard cottage is my next dream house. It's located in Palm Beach, just outside Sydney so it's in a different state from me but it's the perfect inspiration for my next beach house. We are planning a move in the next few years closer to the beach so we can hear the waves crashing at night and we can walk to the beach by day. We are doing our homework, getting a feel for the market and collecting ideas and magazine clippings. This house sums up our wish list perfectly :- white weatherboards, simple design, lots of lawn, a palette of earthy, natural textures, lots of natural light and modern furniture with a rustic, eclectic twist. Thanks to Desire Empire for this great bit of inspiration!
