It's the Weekend...

Thank goodness it's the weekend! Unfortunately the weather here is a little different to the weather in that glorious picture above. It's cold and rainy here today and I believe this weather will continue into the weekend. To be completely honest, I'm thrilled as I can't wait to spend the weekend snuggled up with lots of magazines and possibly a bit of cooking for my boys on Sunday!! Hope you all have a great weekend!! See you next week. xx Anna

Blog Browsing

After being away for a few days I had a lot of blog browsing to catch up on. One post which I really loved was by Habitually Chic on Ralph Lauren. She has featured lots of beautiful pictures of his Bedford, New York home. It is definitely worth a click of your mouse in Habitually Chic's direction. After I read the post this morning I actually emailed this picture above of his pool and pool house to my mum and as I said in the email to her my house is literally the size of his pool house and in actual fact it reminds me very much of my little house but of course without the huge grounds and huge pool and huge house just nearby!!

Pool Houses To Dream About

I love the concept of a pool house - a seperate pavillion to entertain and relax in around the pool. I have a whole file of beautiful pool houses which continues to expand in the hope that one day I will have a yard large enough to have one of these beautiful structures. I've listed a few of my favourites above, some of which I have posted before but I just couldn't help it as they continue to speak to me and inspire me.

**BTW - Just to fill you in I am still experiencing some technical problems with the blog which are blocking me from posting but I am working on them and all I can say is I'll have them fixed as soon as I can. Sorry for the lack of posts while I work on these problems and thanks for your patience!

Pool Love

What a gorgeous pool and pool house created by Pickell Architecture via Style Court. I love pools framed by grass and I really love the white picket fence too and the big trees!!

Tile Love

I love these hand painted Portuguese tiles from Aeria above. I have chosen these tiles as a waterline tile for our new pool which starts being built next week. I really love the geometric design and the colours are just perfect for a pool!!

Too Pretty For Words

The quality of this picture isn't great but I just had to post it because I LOVE it!! What a beautiful atmosphere the candles create around this pool and I just love the rose covered arbours which may create a bit of a mess in the pool but who cares sometimes it has to be all about the look!!

Secret Gardens of Sydney

I love this pretty garden and pool courtyard created by Secret Gardens of Sydney. The Frangipani tree leaning over the pool and the pool house at the back are my favourite features. This type of design would be fantastic for small lot housing or a property with little outlook as the pool, pool house and trees surrounding create such a private, pretty and relaxing atmosphere.
