Edit
Alicia who owns Akimbo, a quirky invitations, announcement & greetings company has sent me pics of her home to share with you. She lives all the way in Adelaide, South Australia in a townhouse with her hubby!
To top things off, Alicia also writes a blog called, 'Atypical Type A' where you can find her blogging about a variety of home projects she is taking on along with the sources that inspire them! 
One of my favorite parts of her home is the courtyard. It's so cozy & inviting! It's the kind of outdoor space I could see my friends gathering for a nice relaxing dinner. Lovely! Thanks Alicia!

I SWOON for that little office space! We have an area in our bedroom with a desk, and this will most definitely serve as an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are amazing and inspiring!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your blog and just awarded you the stylish blogger award! :)
ReplyDeletenice -- feels comfortable.
ReplyDeleteI am guessing her home is not in Vegas, and if it is, it's got to be down-town. Would love a courtyard like that

Wow, thank you for the great response! I sometimes feel like our home is the unsophisticated little sister of other bloggers' homes so I really appreciate your sweet comments.
ReplyDelete@Lemondropdreams:
Yes, it's a light. My brother bought it for me (does he know me well or what?).
@Libby:
This is probably not very helpful, but I bought the key at a shop here in Aus called House & Garden. I have seem similar ones on Etsy though. Happy hunting!
@Silentai:
The art above the console is just a piece of fabric stretched over a cheap canvas. Super easy and cheap way to fill a wall.
Thanks again to Jen and your lovely readers xxoo
LOVE the outdoor seating area! and the fresh wall colors. I love homes that are beautiful and yet feel so "Lived in" and cosy. I'm currently renovating my house and so far it's just a big pile of mess!!
ReplyDeleteELIZABETH SULLIVAN: I may be getting some black and white curtains - alot more affordable for now for this space..not sure if they will look nice, but we'll see. I thought about some IKAT pillows for my bedroom actually!
ReplyDeleteI love the outdoor space..and the chairs, normally used indoors, look FAB with an outdoor table.
