The big picture

The plan for our new place is starting to come together. The idea is to bring a little bit of Palm Beach to Brisbane, throw in some Hamptons style, a touch of traditional Queenslander...basically, you could throw all the houses I've blogged about into a blender, and the result would be close to perfect. I really like the details of this Palm Beach beauty, which was featured in Home Beautiful magazine earlier this year - lovely details, light and airy....perfect for our tropical climate.










Oh, and if you're looking for a holiday house this Christmas, this one is available here. Just make sure you save a room for me...

  5. Hello Kerri

    Ok I am saying this in my head - Oh yeeeeessssss!
    A very slow and expression-able yes!

    I love it - love the description of it and the very idea of it.
    I can imagine the "protein shake" of houses that you like would be on the want of almost all of us in your admiring land of your style :)

  10. Sorry Sweetie, but at 12K a week I won't be inviting you (only 'cos I wouldn't pay that much for a holiday house):-)
    But I do agree it's gorgeous and full of ideas. I'm building something similar - more New England/Cape Cod later this year near the beach. I looovee that beige colour on the walls. My husband wants yellow. Who do you think is right???
