Vogue Living Australia

I subscribe to Vogue Living Australia. A truly amazing magazine with a really interesting variety of homes. They are always so different and often full of gorgeous details. I like the simplicity of this home...the clean lines, cool floors and the large windows creating an indoor outdoor space.

Just a quick post tonight. Had such a big day today! Hope your week is going great and hope Halloween was fun for the little ones!

Enjoy!

Outdoor Decor

Trudy Crane May 25, 2013

It has been a slow start to spring here in Montreal with too much rain and not enough relaxing in the SUN!! I am really wanting to get outside and set up my deck with our furniture and plants...(please go away rain, wind and cool days!) I am so inspired by the great pictures I see these days of outdoor spaces with a wonderful table and chairs for dinner with friends under the sun umbrella or long chairs by the pool. I really like vintage inspired pieces and chandeliers outdoors.... bringing the inside feeling into the outdoors is always beautiful...all you have to add are the flowers!

Enjoy!

Festive Home + Entertaining

Trudy Crane December 26, 2012

I love this video on entertaining from Kinfolk Magazine and West Elm. So pretty and some great recipe ideas as well. (I don't know about you but I have not stopped eating for the past four days!) I have also included some lovely photos from Kinfolk magazine. I love the styling and the photography from this magazine.

Kinfolk and West Elm for recipes

Enjoy!

Indoor Outdoor Adorable!!

I once had a drawing class in a studio that looked like the first picture below! It was raining outside and we were happily working on our projects inside this most beautiful space. I have been dreaming of a studio like this for myself since then. Any of these spaces would be wonderful for entertaining, eating, working or just dreaming for that matter!

And last but not least, here is one of the little paintings I made on that wonderful rainy day. No Picasso, but because of that wonderful space it is a day I will not forget!

Enjoy!

Porches and Patios

Trudy Crane August 24, 2012

I always feel a little sad as summer comes to a close. Our winters here are long and hard and during the summer we are outside as much as possible. We sit out on the porch in the back looking at what new flower has come up and just generally enjoying our garden.

Every summer for the past 14 years we have vacationed in Maine (unfortunately not this year) and one of the things I love about Maine is the big porches on so many of the houses. I love it when there is a wrap-around porch, and I see the people that live in the house sitting outside watching the world go by.

Do you have a big porch on your house and how have you decorated it?
