wow, this reminds me of the renos people do to terraces in Sydney, Australia, only much better. Beautifully done in what I am sure was quite a constrained space!

I love the print on the curtains in the kid's room! Where is it from?

After living with my mother, mother-in-law, and stepmother, all very different women, I've noticed that people tend to fall into one of three categories: 1) those who hate clutter but don't care if things are a mess behind closed doors; 2) those that hate disorganisation and are willing to live with the clutter in order to get things organised "right"; and 3) those who are uber-humans and keep things both clutter-free and organised. (I do not fall in the 3rd category!)

I'm a type 2, so stashing things makes me nervous, but I also hate living in a cluttered house. I'm going to try out the pile drawer!

love that sleek candelabra, especially with the rather rough-hewn table and detailed dishes!

Tea cozies can be quite useful in colder weather!

For those in Sydney, Australia, or going to Sydney, if you ever make it out to Bundeena there is a cafe along the main street that serves their tea in pots with tea cozies on the colder (for Sydney) days. It's oddly comforting, and your tea stays hot.
