Oodles of magazines and a house to die for!

Well, all of my magazine subscriptions have come at once plus a couple of mags picked up from the shops. Luckily we are heading to Byron Bay tomorrow night so I can read them all!

I couldn't resist diving into the Inside Out though, Mark and Luella Tuckey's house is on the front cover and it is to die for! Situated in Clareville on the water , the house looks beautiful and homey. I could move in tomorrow.

(snapped from the mag, what a gorgeous exterior!)

I want a backyard like this!

The living area, loving the wooden bunting :)

I must get to their shop in Newport soon for a browse around :)

Plus all the mags are starting to have Christmassy stuff inside, I'm getting a little excited!

Do you get your magazines on subscription or just submit to temptation at the shops?

The Dream House Files.

I've been adding to my dream house files lately.

I can definitely see a theme emerging!

I have realised that for me as my tastes change so often I have to stick to the basics and a neutral palette and add my colour with accessories and homewares that can be changed easily and at not too high a price!!

It is amazing for me to see my tastes change over the years from Balinese, to Beach House to French Provincial to now which is a mish mash that I couldn't possibly label!

Clean, classic with a touch of glamour will be my future.

For now!

Also a low maintenance yard and a pool is a must!

Can you get the feel I am going for?

So the things I know I will have are :

*Floorboards either dark or white. I know the dark will be more practical but white looks soooo good!

*White walls.

*White kitchen

*Pops of colour

*A light and airy feel

*A pool and low maintenance yard.

*Preferably a one story house. No stairs!

I'm putting it out there and wanting this to happen within the next 2 years!

The location obviously is a huge factor and the whole family wants to move closer to the beach. (although we are only 15 mins away and can see it from our house on the hill). Our dream location would be somewhere in the Queenscliff / Manly flat area, within walking distance to the beach. Freshwater would be our 2nd choice.

Now, all I have to do is win the Lotto! I guess I better start playing!

Oh well we all need a dream :)
