Christmas in the Sun!

I love looking at gorgeous images of a white Christmas as much as anyone but being an Australian girl, these images have inspired me to love our Christmas in the Sun just as much!

This is just perfection to me - lemons are one of the most beautiful of fruits and I often buy bags of them just for decorative purposes (and they smell amazing!)

Yellow is just gorgeous for Christmas decorating in a sunny climate!

Such a pretty idea...

Hope wherever you are celebrating Christmas you are enjoying decorating your homes in readiness for enjoying this season with family and friends!  T xx

I want to drink coffee here...

Cliffside Cafe Gourdon, France

Could this be the most perfect cafe location in the world?  The black and white umbrellas look fabulous!!!  T xx

Pretty in the Country!

For those who follow on instagram (porchlight_interiors) you will have already seen a pic of this gorgeous home that was completed earlier this year.  We finally took pics to update our portfolio on our website!

Wishing you all a happy weekend!

What We've Been Up To!

I know it has been a long time since we showed any of our work.  Just thought we would share a few snaps of different projects that we have been working on lately!

Hopefully we will get around to updating our website soon - always seems to be at the bottom of the "to-do" list!

Stunning in Mexico!

Could this be the most beautifully decorated hotel ever?

Beautifully furnished...

Stunning artwork throughout...

Fabulous outdoor spaces...

Perfect amount of cushions...

Relaxing bathroom...

More amazing artwork and furniture...

And look at that bedhead!!!  I would be in heaven to stay in this beautiful L'Otel in Mexico

See here for more stunning images. Better still, the fabulous artwork is for sale through their website!

If I were building a house...

...this is what it would look like!

Adore!

So Ready for the Weekend!

I know I'm a little obsessed with outdoor spaces at the moment but I think it is just so relaxing to spend time in the garden!  After a busy week, including a few days in Melbourne for the trade fairs, I'm looking forward to catching up with family this weekend.  Enjoy xx

Designer Inspiration!

Feeling very inspired by these gorgeous rooms by interior designer Tiffany Eastman. Just thought I would share the love...

 Still loving geometric floor rugs!

Stunning vaulted ceilings and beautiful fabric curtains...

just beautiful...

I want this in my ensuite...

marble is always amazing...

hope you loved this as much as I did!  Check out her website for more beautiful rooms!  Tracey xx

Gorgeous Australian Design!

I love finding Australian designed homes that have character - particularly with this stunning roof line...

loving the stonework that runs from outside right through the house!

This is the style of home I would love to build one day!  This gorgeous home is by MCK Architecture in Sydney and I found it here.

Hope you are all having a great week - really enjoying the change of pace with the boys on school holidays!  T xx

Adding Character in Brisbane...

We were lucky enough to attend the launch of "The Country Trader" in Brisbane last night and what a beautiful evening it was...

Here is a taste of some of the gorgeous pieces that are now available to us right here in Queensland

The pieces are so stunning and unique it felt like we were at the Paris Trade Show.  Looking forward to using some in some up coming projects - such a gorgeous way to add character to a room.

Have a beautiful weekend!

Recent Project

Just thought we would share a few pictures of a recent renovation we were involved with in Ashgrove...

kitchen was moved to the back of the house so that it flows better with the casual living/dining and back deck

Extra casual living space

added study nook under stair case

Beautiful Kerry Shipp prints used in the entry.  We have added a few extra pics to our website portfolio as well.

For an amazing before and after of this home, Beth from "A Welsh Girl in Australia" did a fabulous post which our clients recently pointed out to us - well worth a look at the transformation.

Snapshots of Italy!

Just thought I would share a little of Italy in Spring time...

Loved wandering the streets of Rome with its stunning architecture...

the detail in the buildings is just incredible!

Loved Venice - only had 3 days here but wish we could have stayed...

Wisteria was in bloom everywhere...

Of course there was plenty of interior design inspiration as well...

Bellagio was too gorgeous for words...

Florence had the most amazing architecture and shopping - lots of interiors shops to inspire as well.  Bought some stunning vintage ceramic lamp bases here...if only I had more space in my luggage!

Then we had a week in Positano and this was the view from our terrace!

Had my morning cappuccino and nutella filled cornetto from the local cafe out on our terrace - perfect way to start the day! We booked this gorgeous apartment through Amanda Tabberer and would highly recommend using her to arrange your holiday in Positano!

Now it's back to reality but feeling very rested and inspired - ready to get back into work!  Tracey xx
