When I was growing up, my parents and I spent one summer month (usually July or August) every year, living in a small town.
We made friends with neighbours who had a cow. They sent her out e...
My husband and I are both vegetarian (as is his whole immediate family) for health, environmental and animal rights reasons.
My parents are omnivores, no matter how much I try to conv...
Wow! I love this. I lived in Sydney for a couple of years but never got to see much of it (constantly busy, first with uni then work, plus my husband hated it so we didn't do much exploring). Heck,...
I LOVE the botanical print, and the writing/penmanship one! Reminds me of the practices I had to do in school. I still thank those sorts of notebooks for my handwriting. :)
I love having bookshelves with books, and collect vintage out-of-print books I like, English translations of Russian novels to lend out to friends, and all sorts of art and reference books. Anythin...

When I make cookies (more specifically, Anzac Biscuits - an Australian favourite), I make a circle with my thumb and forefinger, place a bit of the cookie mix into it and flatten with my other hand...

I love these! I work in an art shop, and recommend the 3M hooks (not just the strips, they make normal hooks as well, to hang larger works) to everyone who mentions they are renting and don't want ...
I collect beautiful books, antique books, out-of-print books that I enjoyed, and nature/art/reference books (I'm an artist, and not all visual reference can be found on a computer).

It's not so much the apartment, it's the neighbours that I wish my husband and I were warned about, when we moved into our studio apartment in Sydney.
We had a wall that was a window ...
I like all of those ideas, except the first one. Re-planting a plant in a larger pot is to allow the plant to thrive and have more space for its roots to grow. If you're taking the old pot and putt...
Wow!
Very very surreal house. I have to say I absolutely love the textures running about, the arched hallways, and especially the wall murals - the style, the grand scale, everything about th...

They are all brimming with style, but personally, I love the vintage prints on the wall in the first one!
