Loving Checks & Grids - homewares, fashion, everything!

I'm loving checks and grids this season. It's a classic look but done in a fresh way!

I also think the pattern looks best when it is kept to either black, white or grey.

Here are my favourites -

Cardigan from Esther Boutique

Quilt cover from Country Road

Cushion from Country Road

Maxi Dress from Esther Boutique

Check plate from Domayne

Checked shirt from Supre

Grid flag from Moore Creative

Grid Paper Sack from @prettytidy_roshnee Photo from @oh.eight.oh.nine

Are you a fan? Own anything check or grid?

At last count I had a blanket, a shirt, plates and I've got my eye on that Country Road quilt cover!

Loving on Instagram this week.....

I thought I would share a few of my favourite snaps on Instagram this week. So much inspiration for food, interiors and divine holiday destinations.

This has reminded me of my dream of a Positano/Almalfi Coast holiday.

Ahhh one day :)

So do you have any favourite pics or people on Instagram I should follow? Still can't get enough of this thing!

Renovation update.

This week has been slightly chaotic as we moved out of the house to let the painters come in and do their stuff. 

We lived 4 days in the house last week with the floors being done. It was probably more disruptive than we planned (isn't is always?!) but the end result is sooo worth it.

I am in love with the floors! I can't wait to get back into the house and lovingly clean the floors and watch them sit there all pretty :) I think once the walls are white the place is going to pop and I think it will give the house a whole new look.

I am also looking forward to moving the furniture around and "styling" up the space. My favourite part :)

We have only moved about 20 mins away up the road but I can't believe how much I rely on being 5 minutes away from the boys schools, the shops, the post office etc! I really do utilise my local shops. Finn and Jasper have been late a few times this week (whoops!) and Finn has been buying his lunch all week at school.

Also we don't have much internet connection where we are and it is so frustrating!! So I haven't been around much but hopefully next week I can share with you the completed floors & walls.

Hope you have all been having a wonderful week so far.
