25.01.2022 I love decorating with wreaths. I've had this magnolia wreath for over 10 years. It's starting to get a bit shabby but I just can't part with it. It goes to show, buy what you love not what's in fashion and you will continue to love it for years. #magnoliawreath #magnolia #decoratewithwhatyoulove #flowerwreath #cornerofmyhome #thelighthome #countrystyleloves #homebeautiful #housebeautiful #queenslandhomes #prettylittleinteriors #styleathome ...

24.01.2022 I was lucky enough to get my hands on some of @sproutgallery ceramic ornaments before they sold out. This little Chinoiserie one looks perfect hanging on the powder room door. This design is still available and a little bird tells me that the other designs will be back in stock at the beginning of November. I'm very tempted to get some more and have a blue and white Christmas this year It's not too early to start planning Christmas is it? All the decorations are out ...in the shops, and the Christmas music will start before you know it! PS My Christmas tree that I put up for Christmas in July may still be sitting in a box in the lounge room #blueandwhiteforever #chinoiserie #blueandwhitechina #blueandwhitedecor #bluetifulsundays #myblueandwhitestyle #sproutgallery See more
24.01.2022 It all started with this blue hydrangea in my head, and now it is available as fabric, cushions and even this pretty card. Printed in Australia on 100% recycled card. Happy Days
24.01.2022 Just did a re-style of this corner in the living room: A vintage pedestal table (I have a slight obsession with them) Photos of my children - because life is about people and experiences not things A little glass dish I sprayed with mirror paint to satisfy my creative side A little potted flower to add greenery ... And a tall hurricane lamp that I picked up for $10 about 15 years ago. It has well and truly earned it's place #styleathome #prettylittleinteriors #ilovethislittlecorner #currenthomeview #simplystyleyourspace #sharemysquare #freshstyledhome #howyouhome #classichome #classichomestyle #traditionalhome #casualchichome #houseandhome #homebeautiful #housebeautiful #classicdecor #classicdesign
23.01.2022 Made it home safely in my hand luggage
23.01.2022 Working out how to get these beautiful vintage Spode pieces home with me. Risk putting them in the suitcase or take as hand luggage? #blueandwhiteforever #spode #vintage #hamptonsstyle #chinoiseriechic #northcoteroadantiques #flyingemirates #hopetheydontbreak #thisisjustsome #ihavemore
23.01.2022 Theres nothing like climbing into your own bed to go to sleep ..... especially when youve been away for 9 weeks. When I lay in bed the night I got home I remembered how good it felt. How your own bed feels different. Its yours. You love it and it loves you back giving you a big cuddle when you lie in it. We only have a queen bed and we slept in many King and Super Kings while we were away. Ive got to say I liked the extra space but it wasnt as cozy. What do you prefer? Queen and be cozy or King and give me some space?
22.01.2022 Hydrangea Lane Home is now LIVE. Yep the Hydrangea Lane Home website is now up and running for all to see so if it's too cold to go Thursday night shopping stay in and browse our online store instead. A BIG thank you to all of you who have followed DIY Decorator for many years. I'm very excited about my new venture, and hope that my mix and match custom collection of original custom design fabrics, cushions, and lampshades help you create a beautiful home....

22.01.2022 Hello! I'm back. The jet lag is still hanging around but it's nice to be home and starting my 'new normal' life. You might have seen that I was lucky enough to find some beautiful @by_spode vintage pieces at the Northcote Road Antiques Centre while I was in London, and they made it home safely in my carry on bag (which you all recommended). Here is the Spode gravy boat and saucer filled with some carnations from the supermarket. I'm not usually one for carnations, ...but it's good to try new things right? Well that was the motto of our holiday - try new things #spode #blueandwhiteforever #myblueandwhitestyle #chinoiserie #blueandwhitechina #gravyboat #carnations See more
21.01.2022 This is one of my favourite blue and white pieces that I brought home from London. It's a late 19th century (1800's) planter, which makes it older than this house. I wonder what houses it has lived in before, and if the original owner ever thought it would end up in Australia. I think it looks perfectly at home here ... #blueandwhiteforever #myblueandwhitestyle #blueandwhitechina #chinoiserie #willow See more
20.01.2022 Green goodness on the homewares level at Fortnum & Mason. So tempted but I already have all that Spode to get home in one piece #cabbageware #fortnumandmason #greendecor
19.01.2022 My love of blue and white continues over at Hydrangea Lane Home
19.01.2022 Ive been away for 46 days with 18 days left until I go home. Living out of a suitcase for this long has me questioning if I really need all this stuff in my home. Think it will be time for a big clean out. Of course you can never have too many books, cushions, or flowers. And then theres all the beautiful vintage Spode I just found in London ..... umm, maybe Im not that minimalist #blueandwhiteforever #myblueandwhitestyle #hamptonsstyle #vintagelove #chinoiserie #classichomestyle
17.01.2022 Im a vintage girl at heart. Love this photo from the 60s
16.01.2022 My current view out the back window. A favourite combination, blue and white with hydrangeas. I really want an east facing garden bed to plant some. Hydrangeas are one of my favourite flowers, especially the blue ones ... #styleathome #prettylittleinteriors #ilovethislittlecorner #currenthomeview #simplystyleyourspace #sharemysquare #freshstyledhome #howyouhome #blueandwhiteforever #chinoiserie #blueandwhitechina #blueandwhitedecor #myblueandwhitestyle See more
15.01.2022 Planning a little Ladies Lunch get together with some friends. I like this pretty combination of blue and white and can imagine lots of greenery and flowers down the table. These Willow plates are from @theoldboathouse_warehouse and I picked up 4 more dinner plates from @camphillantiques today. Just need four more side plates to make it happen ... #blueandwhiteforever #chinoiserie #blueandwhitechina #blueandwhitedecor #myblueandwhitestyle #tablescape #tablesetting #tablestyling #tabledecoration #tablecenterpiece #onthetable #countrystyleloves See more
15.01.2022 Looking for Christmas inspiration? Head on over to Hydrangea Lane Home That's where I am posting all my new photos. Tis the season to be jolly ...........
14.01.2022 Hydrangeas are my favourite flower. With their big round balls of abundant petals, what's not to love? I would love to plant a pathway lined with hydrangeas. How magical would that be to walk down? When I saw this photo of a Nantuket home, it took my breath away. There was my hydrangea path captured by @lindseylanedesign ... I have a friend who has just planted some 30+ hydrangeas in her beautiful garden, so I will be asking her expert advice on where I can plant some in my home. In the meantime, I will dream of my little Hydrangea Lane #nantucket #bluehydrangea #hydrangeas #hydrangealane #gardendesign #flowersmakemehappy #hamptonsstyle #gardenpath See more
14.01.2022 Friday Night Vibes. A big emotional week calls for Epsom Salts, Candles and a Glass of Wine. I'm going to lock the door and put on some Michael Buble and dream the night away.

12.01.2022 Late afternoon in the Library. It's my favourite place to curl up with a book. I love beautiful books on decorating and garden design Might need to put a few on my Christmas wish list. Would love to hear any books you recommend....... ... #myhome #readingnook #blueandwhiteforever #myblueandwhitestyle #beautifulrooms #classicdesign #queenslanderhome #hbmystyle #classichomestyle #queenslandhomes #countrystyleloves See more
09.01.2022 Somebody stop me now. I'm seriously nesting. Ever since we got back from our trip last Friday, I've had the urge to thoroughly clean and organise the house. Yesterday it was the ensuite. Today it's the dining room. Every surface has been cleaned and polished. It must be a side effect to leaving my daughter in London to live. I'm filling the void with a spring cleaning frenzy. At least with one less person in the house, there's a chance it will stay cleaner for longer. Can't wait for her to come home for Christmas. By then, there will be nothing left to clean. #ensuite #springcleaning #hamptonsstyle #nesting #thelighthome #classichomestyle #hbmystyle
09.01.2022 Since our Schnoodle Gus had his knee operation, we have had to move our whole lives downstairs. For the next 8 weeks, we have to keep him confined to a small area so his leg can heal. Not an easy task! He cannot get up and down the stairs and at 22kg he's a bit heavy to carry, so we've moved to the downstairs living area. As long as he's with us, he's happy
08.01.2022 With all the wet weather weve been having here in Brisbane I think I may need the boat oars for more than just decoration Not complaining. The rain has been so good for the garden. A little bit more rain then sunshine on the way #boatoars #oarsgalore #coastalliving #coastaldecor #lotsofrain
08.01.2022 What's Happened to DIY Decorator? https://diy-decorator.com.au/diydecoratorturns5/
07.01.2022 Happy 1st October I have been away from home for over 8 weeks. Only 3 more days to go then heading home. Cant wait to sleep in my own bed again. Just got to try to sleep on that awful plane ride first ... #mybed #cominghome #classichomestyle #hamptonsstyle #bedroomgoals #lovemyhome #hatelonghaulflights See more
06.01.2022 Foraged Lavender My husband and I went for an early morning walk yesterday. Like 5am early (I blame the jet lag). We walked past a house that had a planting of lavender right along the front fence. I said how pretty it was and how beautiful it smelt. So he just decided to pick some. Now I must have a fear of breaking the rules and doing the wrong thing because I was thinking you can't do that. I kept walking so if the owner appeared I wouldn't get 'caught'. My husba...nd happily stood there for a couple of minutes carefully selecting the lavender he wanted. Now in fairness, the lavender was on the nature strip side of the fence, so maybe that makes it fair game. So here is my pretty bunch of foraged lavender and it smells beautiful. Have you gone foraging for flowers or foliage? Do you feel guilty or awkward doing it? #lavender #foraging #flowersmakemehappy #beautifulflowers #onmywindowsill See more
06.01.2022 I'm giving away 50 of these diamante buckles for Christmas. Enter at Hydrangea Lane Home Facebook page or Instagram. Entries close 5pm Sunday 9th December.
05.01.2022 My little bunch of carnations are still going strong after 12 days. Im impressed. I think Ill buy them more often. It can be hard to find flowers that last more than a week and I get really disappointed when they start to droop after only a few days ... #blueandwhiteforever #chinoiserie #blueandwhitechina #blueandwhitedecor #spode #flowerlovers #petalperfection #flowersmakemehappy #floralarrangement #beautifulflowers See more

04.01.2022 For those who live in south-east Queensland, I'm heading here next Sunday. It's a fabulous brocante.
03.01.2022 I'm rearranging all the Blue and White on my dining room dresser, trying to work out what looks good. It's a work in progress, but here's how it looks for now..... until tomorrow #blueandwhiteforever #chinoiserie #blueandwhitechina #blueandwhitedecor #myblueandwhitestyle #mysaturdayvignette
03.01.2022 Gus is a very happy Schnoodle. He went to the groomers today and is looking very snazzy. If you want to see the wooly bear that he was after 9 weeks without a clip have a look at my instagram story My husband took him to the dog park on Sunday, and was chatting to one of the other dog owners. He said "I just love your dog...he is a ninja dog" Apparently this guy walks past our house all the time, and Gus will appear out of nowhere and start barking through the picket ...fence as they walk past. It scares the you know what out of him So he calls Gus the Ninja dog, but it's all good. He loves the ninja dog and so do we. #schnoodle #schnoodlesofinstagram #schnoodlelife #ninjadog #lovemydog See more
