oh boy oh boy oh boy

Posted on August 26th, 2008 by Tracey

my parents are toying with the idea of selling their house and building a new closer to us (so the commute for my mum is better, petrol ain’t cheap – and she takes care of J while we work). of course being a design and architecture freak, i’m LOVING it. i love walking through the newest and freshest designs – i walk (no, run) around the display home with my mouth and eyes wide open looking like some sort of mental patient… but i don’t care 😛

luckily for the general public, i can salivate over the houses online now – today’s favourite being Republica by Cosmopolitan.

Republica - Cosmopolitan

the designer facade is to die for. i would move into the display home in 1 sec flat (but then leave to pick up Jasper and go straight back).

new homes these days have a media/theatre room which is perfect for my dad’s love of giant tv’s and my mum’s love of quiet time in another room. the master bedroom is generous, features a sex in the city style walk in robe to ensuite (not that my father would care, lol), and i think there’s enough room for them to relax in and also welcome guests now and then. my sister would love the extra room! the only down side is no seperate room for the study, but i think with some magic we could possibly add a wall somewhere..

i haven’t checked it out in person, but it’s only 5 minutes away so i’m tethering myself to my desk so i don’t magically appear on it’s doorstep.

i’ve just spent about 5 6 hours reading MadeByGirl (and I’m still going!)

at first, I thought Christy Turlington had a blog, but no – it’s the gorgeous Jennifer Ramos, her gorgeous cards and her amazing sense of style

it’s eye candy overload to me! 😀 her blog has inspired me to decorate my home ‘office’ – and decorate it well

edited to add this print –
i love hue

FAMILY MODERN

Your home confidently embraces the many needs of busy, family life. It’s adaptable and easy to live with, reflecting your sense of style without having to banish the kids to the attic or basement. You’re sensitive to elements of design such as colour, light and architectural detail, mixing items that are relatively disposable with other pieces that, in time, will become family heirlooms.

Your home is the hub of family life. It’s unpretentious without being devoid of character: in fact, with so much going on, it’s open to all the pleasures of life.
