She's Back...

My goodness, back by popular demand. So much has happened since you have last heard from me and unfortunately it has assisted in the relaxation of my blog. Little did I know that people were actually following it! There is a certain amount of satisfaction in having the people ask when they will next be reading my work. So here it is loyal followers, she's back.

In early February I finished my studies and became an Interior Designer! I've always wanted to be my own boss which is what lead me to my next life adventure. Yes, The House of Brooke is not only viral, it's going global!

Watch this space carefully...

Yellow Goat

Although not the most telling of company names, these guys produce the most amazing lights I have ever seen. What makes it better is that not only is it a Queensland company but they are just down the road on the Goldie. These are a few of my favourites. Check out other awesome creations on their website...

Bathroom Under The Stars

There was a touch of excitement when my new friend Flic Brown showed me through her self contained bungalow built in the backyard of her Broome house. The inference was to walk from the bedroom through the bathroom door to any ordinary bathroom and this is what I came across.
Although not the best idea for the colder states, this bathroom under the stars is perfect for the steamy weather of The Kimberley's.

As an aside, Flic also creates her own collection of amazing hats and hair pieces and is currently on tour around Australia with them. Have a look at her beautiful creations and follow her travels on her blog.

Broome Inspiration

After reluctantly coming to the end of my holiday in Broome, I have been inspired by the amazing colours up here. It could be the red dirt that has left a tinge that I can't get off the souls of my feet or from under my nails or the pink shade that was my white clothes, either way, red is the new black and I'm loving it! 

 

HAPPY NYE!!







I love this time of the year. We have only just gotten over Christmas and now have another excuse for a party!

These NYE decorating ideas are simple, sophisticated and classic.

 

I love the use of the clock crockery just to remind everyone of why we are here...

And of course, plenty of champagne.

Christmas decorations

There are so many beautiful Christmas decorations out there and it is hard to be original. You can definitely go over the top though and I am of the belief that keeping it simple is the best way to avoid cheesy Christmas decor. Stick to one colour or theme and let your originality sparkle!

White is by far my favourite Christmas colour, but don't be afraid to mix it with black

Christmas is coming!

A friend introduced me to this website a while ago and I've found these great little decorations as an alternative to the traditional Christmas decorations. You can remove them when your finished without damaging the wall. Lots of other great ideas so have a look....
