My top 10 pins of the week

 I've been hanging out on Pinterest for a few minutes each day lately. 

I forgot about Pinterest for a while but I've rediscovered my love of scrolling through a mix of home inspo, cooking ideas, travel dreams and pretty pictures. I've popped up my 10 favourites from this week...

Such a beautifully simple bathroom space

This delicious looking wild rice, chicken and mushroom soup looks like the perfect winter warmer

Staircase inspo... I love the combination of wood tones against the white

Pretty earrings

Dream travel ideas... how stunning is this water in the Greek islands?!

I love the olive green bed linen combined with neutral linen. 

I'm sure I have a similar combo in my linen cupboard I'll have to dig out!

The prettiest orchids

How delicious does this chocolate ombre cake look?

I'm loving these simple Matisse prints at the moment

Such a dreamy pool, can't wait for warmer weather. 

After a brief love of the cool, crisp air, I always get tired of the cold weather very quickly!

Home Tour - artist Madeline Jovicic

 I came across another beautiful home tour via Bed Threads today. They are consistently showcasing wonderful, stylish homes of various creative people on their Journal.

Although the homes are all so different I find I love the peek into someone's (styled) home and seeing a variety of colours, style and decor.

Today is the Sydney home of artist Madeline Jovicic....

Our Canberra Trip

 We took advantage of the long weekend and headed down to Canberra for a couple of days.

We played tourist on Sunday with a visit to Cockington Green (such a blast from the past!) followed by lunch at a cute pub and then a drive by of Parliament House on our way to our hotel.

The next morning we headed out to Corin Forest where the boys saw snow for the first time. Usually most of our holidays are beach related so this was a huge change. A chilly but fun one! They loved it and we will definitely venture to bigger snow fields in the future since we all had such a great time.

It was a quick trip but so nice to have a change of scenery and such beautiful scenery at that! The beautiful trees and landscape, the crisp air, the streams and creeks.... all stunning!

Here are some photos of our trip -

Home Tour - Zoe Dent

 I came across the home of Zoe Dent years ago on Instagram and loved it. 

I recently came across her home again featured on the Bed Threads Journal and I loved the decor changes she has made to it. Lots of textures and wood added, warmer tones and pops of colour.

It looks lovely and cosy and a perfect place to bunker down in winter.
