New blog on the block

I always enjoy finding new blogs to add to my ever-growing reading list, and this latest addition is fast becoming one of my favourites. I was commissioned to paint some original sea coral paintings for Melinda, and from her lovely thank you email I found her gorgeous blog - Georgica Pond. Reading through her posts quite literally stopped my in my tracks - almost each and every one of her inspiration photos was either one I had stashed away myself, or wish I had! Melinda has recently moved into a new home and is about to embark on a renovation, and from the looks of things, I'm going to love following along on her journey.

She and her family built this stunner on a hundred acre property in the NSW Southern Highlands.....







...but they've since moved to Sydney into this renovator's delight...



...and when we share these as inspiration for our renovations..











...I knew I'd found a kindred decorating spirit. So, if that's whet your appetite, head on over to Melinda's lovely blog, Georgica Pond. Oh, and make sure you say hi from me!

    Kerri - Alex just rang me to say have you seen Kerri's post about your blog?! Wow - what a thril. Thank you so much for not only taking the time to feature me and some of the inspiration photos and bits and pieces from our life, but also for saying such lovely, flattering things. I've already had visits from lots of new people and so looking forward to sharing my ideas and the progress of our house with everyone. Thanks again, so much for being such a generous and kind fellow blogger and for making me feel so welcome and encouraged. Melx

    Yum oh yum! Before I head over to say Hi to Melinda, I thought I'd better say hi to you first! I have been popping in regularly but rarely stop to leave a comment these days. That's so not me, but I am really pushing to fit blogging in for the past few months. x
