New for Ruby & Belle

This Saturday is the Christmas market for Mathilda's in Brisbane, so I am busy sewing like crazy.

Will have a few extra goodies for sale too.

Sneak Peek.

These are also available on the website

See you there.

Final Decisions

So now that the building is starting it is time to make some final decisions.

Of course I spend lots of time blog hopping to get inspiration.

The House that A-M built has given me lots of lovely ideas and we have decided to gowith or similar to her house exterior colour.  Had been looking for that perfect colour that wasn't too green or too pink or too brown or too grey.

white windows, athough after 10 yrs of constant window painting in the old house we have opted for the aluminium ones here, not quite as beautiful but more practical.

One of my serches led me to A View on Design  here 

A feature on a beautiful country home in NSW

Which leads me back to the question of the roof colour

Here they have used a dark grey

or the surf mist which I think A-M used on her house

Both look great.

Still pondering the bathroom walls

I love this look

The builder suggested a half tiled wall but not sure if you would

get the same effect with tiles???

Love this kitchen and the colour on the walls

What a lovely house.

Love to hear you thoughts.

Have a great weekend

Loving Duck Egg Blue

Looking for inspiration for the house decor.

Going to keep the colour scheme in neutrals, white, linen, stone and wood.

Accent colour,  Duck Egg Blue.  Love it.

Japanese Linen

Would love this but have opted to do just the buffet and hutch in this colour.

On the hunt for a blue jug :-)

Beautiful Linen from Sibona, Uk

Laura Ashley

Hand made silk flowers, amazing.

Also on the hunt for some fabric for cushion covers for the lounge.

Have a great weekend.

Time For the Champagne!!!!

Just when I thought it was never going to happen, we have made a start.

I think they got most of the excavating done even in the rain.

So now we are praying for some sunny weather, even though the weather report isn't 

looking so great, so we can get this house built.

Very, very exciting.

This week I will be posting some information on my market activities and 

what you will find at Ruby & Belle for Christmas.

Have a "sunny" Thursday.

Rain, Rain Go Away

I know it is not a good thing to ask for it not too rain but the more it rains the longer it will take to start our house, and we are so close, very frustrating.

Keeping busy with Ruby & Belle things and waiting until I can set this up under the tree on our property, looks like the perfect setting for a girls lunch :-)

I love Bird Cages and am always on the hunt for new ones and inspiration.

Building an Ark

Wow, the rain just keeps coming.

We want to put a swimming pool in our new house, but now we have one in our rental's back yard. 

 OMG.

If it doesn't stop soon will have to build an Ark.

I am on the hunt for a new dining table and found this one via Coastal living.

Perfect, if only I lived in America

If anyone has seen something similar please let me know.

Have a great Monday.
