So this past weekend, we hit the display homes for inspiration for decorating our ensuite bathroom. I love using display homes as you get to see fittings and tiles as part of the whole look rather than just in a shop floating out of a wall...

I couldn't help but notice that greys have now replaced the browns as the colour to decorate in. Looks nice in a modern place but doesn't suit our french provincial styled home. However, my favorite display home brand, Metricon came through for me - they had a stunning home that had the ensuite bathroom decorated in whites, timbers and the honey tiles we are considering - remember my inspiration shot here. The photo below is from my mobile phone so the colours could be better (lighter) but you get the idea. We are planning a massive oversized mirror with downlights above it and a lovely big window with white plantation shutters. Should be a relaxing haven....



Jase loved this drain for the shower too. We are also convinced that our shower is way too large and we are going to go ahead and get two waterfall heads put in on either end. Very decadent for a home on tank water but hey if it rains like it has in the last few months, it won't be a problem!


And this display home village had the best thing ever - swings for the kids. So we had a perfectly behaved 2 year old as she (im)patiently waited for us to finish the houses so she could have a nice long swing. (Disclaimer - she is now picking her own clothes - hence the hot pink socks lol)

I am 30 years old, am a microbiologist with a PhD and love looking after my little farm. I compete in dressage and showjumping with my horses. I have a passion for shopping and a weakness for pretty clothes, shoes and handbags. My husband and I have a gorgeous toddler called Elka and a little bub named Bronte. I am a mother who works and has a career - just don't call me a "working mother". I don't do inside hobbies and craft and have only successfully sewn two things in my life that weren't ripped horserugs. The scientist in me makes me a little cynical and I am more likely to tell you about my life and events then give you a pretty polaroid style picture and an inspiring quote. Not for everyone but I have a bad memory and blogging is my way of recording life :)
