Sassafras to Ferny

A soft Sassafras day, a new Ferny friend and a disgruntled Retriever

 You always want to know more, to walk up the path, knock on the door

but really the gate is enough and maybe that's all you need to know.

enjoy Sunday morning in the Ranges

What not tired yet? Then off you trot to country gates 2 

My favourite sweet gate awaits, guess which one?

The Lodge

A warm, dark and handsome home in the Hills

Tiffaney Bishop..she's a talented photographer, a clever stylist and an advocate for human rights-her beautiful photographic images reference the welfare of women in war torn countries AND she has printed said photographic imagery onto...c u s h i o n s !
I know, I know I'm shallow but I cant resist a cushion.

Tiffaneys home in the Dandenong Ranges has an American colonial aesthetic without the symmetry - it's traditional but slightly quirky and has killer views all the way to Swanston St!
Rich dark timbers, generous leather buttoned chairs, a floor to ceiling bookcase, exposed timber beams, an enormous stone fireplace...and... suddenly I was overwhelmed with a desire to schwill a brandy balloon and light a match on the stonework.
Will post more on Tiffaney + studio + work soon

Storing pillows & cushions

  

Store, Stack or floor them?
Cute n' clever ways to say goodnight to bed pillows...nighty night featherbags

Imagine waking up to a pillow free floor where you dont have to search the far flung 

corners of the room or dodge pillows that have passed out bedside and morphed into
a pet bed, at...oh I don't know ...was it around midnight, Maxie?

 

Whilst at The Works, aka Bed Bath N' Table I noticed their VM displays had

some really lovely ideas for storing pillows, when they are not reclining as 

excessively cosy, colourful bed toppings

The ottoman at the bedbase is always good for a sweet stack of pillows, and 

fortunately far too small for my dog to negotiate as is the suitcase of cushions 

resting on, what else but a suitcase holder.

Put on your thinking cap and pj's to win...

2 Danish Deluxe Goosedown pillows, valued at $300..nighty, night posh feather bags

Goosedown Deluxe Giveaway

Pillow talk

Do you store, stack or floor them at night?

Ahem....Good Housekeeping is of the opinion that your bed pillows 
"shouldn't take up more than half of the bed". My husband is of the 
opinion that they shouldn't take up half the floor either.

A friend of mine says her hubby dodges both the cushions and her 
"floordrobe" and once counted 36 random cushions in the house
not including pillows...welcome to the cushionista club!

Here is one solution re feather bags on the floor:

The Wicker Basket

His & Hers Pillows valued at $300 from The Bedspread Shop.
