Open the door to a heavenly stairway

A few colour ideas for my front door and the most fantastic stripey colour treatment on stairs ever!
Such great carpet!

An electrical tape work by artist Mark Khaisman. Do I have the patience (let alone skill) to do this?


I like this Tiffany-box blue colour for a front door.

And this pale pink is rather serene. Both photos from Sf Girl By Bay.

Persimmon?

Pale jade?

Yellow or blue?

Could I go pink?

Glossing over

The floors are polished and look fabulous. While that's all well and good, the stairs now look even more shabby and painting my front door has suddenly become more inportant.


I can see my face in the floor!

Sharing the love

Some lovely looks from emmas designblogg post on Swedish fashion blogger Elin King (and a bottle of Tassie water snapped by moi).



Me thinks The Beaufort 8 Group will dig on this nest of tables.

While I think daisyblue will find something to like here.

Golden tickets to golden good times

This time two years ago my sister and I were at Golden Plains.
It was great, and there were many opportunities for great photos.
This is the ferris wheel (which we dubbed The Eye).
We went on it, we made an instant but fleeting friendship with the couple who shared the little cage/booth with us.
Then our mum called my mobile.
Much to my sister's horror, I answered it (we were a little under the influence).
If I recall correctly there was lots of giggling and carrying on during the rotations of the wheel.
...it's the little things.

Booths with a view.

Tickets to ride.

The Eye.

Come on, come in...

Not surprisingly, one of my favourite bloggers - SF Girl By Bay - being a fellow Taurus, is on the same wavelength as moi today.
She's talking foyers. I'm thinking entry ways (foyers sounds a bit...town hall or function centre to me).
Anyhoo...as she says, they are weird little spaces, but, according to feng shui rules, they are important spaces to get right.
So, I reckon my entry way's freshly polished boards (done yesterday, and finished today) that will now greet me when I go home each day, is a pretty good place to start all the good Qi.
In the meantime, I am loving the simplicity and clean lines of this entry way, courtesy of SF Girl by Bay.

Looking up from the entry way to my stairs.
The floorboard polisher man said it costs $80 per stair to have them polished (he hates doing it and said he charges accordingly). Sheesh...maybe I'll paint them?

Polished good looks

The floorboard polishers arrived this morning.
They are sanding back the raw and paint-splattered floorboards of the Triple Cee studio and my home's entrance way.
As The Beaufort 8 Group said: "Schweet".

Loving this studio from the fabulously inspirational emmas designblogg

This old post shows how my studio used to look. After the polishers are done, I'll post new photos, then, after I've moved in and made it conducive to creativity(!), I'll post yet more photos.
Then, once I've started creating again, I'll post those photos.
Everything will be available to buy.
Yay!

Autumn leaves, summer has also gone

It's autumn. It's freezing. But this big, tropical-looking leaf brightened up this morning's to-work walk.
