Cromwell House Cooma......

is a delight for all the senses.

My dear friend Steve Allen bought the property 12 months ago and has recently opened the doors of this grand old lady as a BnB and its super stylish.

Husband and I had the pleasure of staying here after my dancing foray in the DWTCS spectacular but it was only for a few hours but those few hours delighted me no end.

Steve is the perfect host - he understand the needs of his guests and his home is welcoming and homey and is a "must stay at" at some stage of your life.

The room we had was just lovely with antiques and original art positioned around the room that had access to the beautiful side decking area perfect for an afternoon tea or two!!

Check out these beautiful images direct from his site - Cromwell House and make sure whilst you are there - make a booking and come to the beautiful and historic Cooma in the Snowy Mountains!

Annie's Room!!

Winter Lounge........mmmmmmm

Informal Lounge

Breakfast anyone??

Perfect spot for a cuppa

My Affair with Kev Mc Continues.....

and the episode that I am watching today features a house that is currently for sale for 795,000 pounds!!

Built around 400 years ago, the home is now for sale after a massive restoration project which featured in K Mac's series 4 which I am currently working my way through.

Hillcot Barn is situated within a designated 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' away from the village and is surrounded by open fields in a wonderful secluded setting in the heart of this renowned unspoilt valley. There are superb open views in all directions with the immediate approach being through an old orchard.

It goes without saying that if I could win lotto I would be in a heartbeat moving to the UK to purchase some Grand Designs history - I really should buy a ticket though!

Loving these rooms

I was just scrolling through the Australian Home & Garden website and came across these stunning rooms.

Getting really toey about moving into my white homestead - the dream just never seems to get any closer, which for me, is a real pain.

However, in the meantime I can sit here and imagine myself in each of these rooms - relaxing and dreaming....

Loving Blue

Husband and I have had the same bedroom colour scheme for around 3 years now - Red & White.

This includes bringing the red and white colour scheme from our home in Point Cook to the post office residence - you think I would have changed this last year - but alas we had bigger and better things to do!

In the last week I have decided that I NOW need to have a change - it could have something to do with the changing of the seasons here - Autumn lasted 2 weeks - we are now in the depths of Winter in the Snowies and I'm not joking - WE'VE HAD SNOW FALL @ PERISHER THIS WEEK!!!

So I passed a blue and white colour scheme via Husband and he agreed - its time for a change.

I can see stripes, florals, blue and white plates on the wall, lovely white blooms next to the bed....

I'm finding inspiration from these photos....
