top ten pictures from the week ~ 31 august 11

Hey, it's spring tomorrow...in my hemisphere anyway. That's good isn't it?
I know that not all the images  I choose each week will be everyone's cuppa...americans, that's short for cup of tea...one of your countrymen asked me what it meant once :)
naturally there'll be some you like more than others, and some you might even turn your nose up at, and that's ok too
do you want to know why I choose what I do?
It's really incredibly simple. I heard that muffled "possibly a bit like you" comment, don't think I didn't :)
I only choose rooms  that I would want to spend more than two minutes in (although occasionally there'll be a flower picture or two if one strikes me as being very beautiful)
or something completely random...
Just say that if the rooms I show you here were in a display home or a house for sale for instance
people would be trying to kick me out when the open inspection was over because I'd want to linger, longer...
or if it was your house and I was visiting you'd be looking at your watch and thinking to yourself 'when is she going to go home!'
And I'd be ignoring you because I wanted to stay in your lovely room. So if any of these are yours you'd better not invite me over.
...and sometimes I just choose the same type of pictures without even knowing it, like the time they were all dining rooms. Who knew! Someone did; they told me. I liked that :)
images in order seen on a perfect gray; econest; design is mine; little french nest; brabourne farm; beautifulism; from the right bank; design chic; fryd + design; the new victorian ruralist

top ten pictures from the week ~ 25 august 11

It's ludicrous...
[seen on small space style]
here it is...Thursday, again
[seen on luxe + lillies]
and I haven't posted anything since this time last week
[by janis nicolay pinecone camp]
how did that happen I hear you ask
[seen on the bottom of the ironing basket]
well...it's like this
[seen on my favorite and my best]
I've been away
[seen on the diversion project]
in Ballarat to be precise
[seen on my first little place]
[seen on this pretty space]
it was good...you should go
[seen on abigail ahern]
I'll try to be better with the whole posting frequency thing next week
[adore home seen on decorology]
provided I get my creative writing assignment in on time that is. What's that? I haven't told you about my course. Maybe next week :)

top ten pictures from the week ~ 18 august 11

It pains me to tell you this...
seen on honey 'n fizz
but I will anyway
seen on gingerella
the top ten was hard work this week...
seen on wish you were here
I had to persevere and keep looking, looking...I was disappointed it took so long to put together, but what can you do?
seen on the style files
just go with what you've got...which is good, don't get me wrong, but it was  hard to find...it's usually a breeze. Well, breeze-ish.
seen on the design files
I don't think the fact that I've been difficult to please or my patience threshold is low has got anything to do with a lack of sugar. No, I won't hear of it!
seen on my pear tree house
it's only been three days and I suspect there's so much kicking around in my body it's going to take a lot longer than that for withdrawal nastiness to kick in!
seen on greige
but...reading this post by Jane from My Pear Tree House certainly made up for a dearth of pretty pictures. Please go and read it if you haven't already. A wonderful attitude and quite a lot of wisdom waits for you there.

top ten pictures from the week ~ 10 Aug 11

Hello there. Wednesday again!
I have no idea how that happens.
seen on 16 house
You know how it goes: you're counting down the thursday and friday minutes
seen on i suwanee
the ones that never seem to go quickly enough
and before you know it, bam, Wednesday has come around again
by old brand new: this picture just cracks me up
And don't talk to me about weekends.
so much promise and so little achieved
by pia jane bijkerk how magnificent is that picture
although that's probably a good thing
down time
quiet time
I will complain no more. Not till Monday anyway :)
Did you get your census form done ok last night? I did mine online. You?

I'm a little bit pleased with myself 
seen on greige
and I don't give a toss if it wins or not 
seen on dustjacket attic; photography by stefano corso
because my very clever and extremely well read children both love it. 
 And that's prize enough for me :)
