Burbs Going Bust

Really interesting to see how neighborhoods are changing around the country. You'll see that there are lots of factors going in to the suburban changes... Has this affected your family?

Still living in the 'burbs?

Sunday Inspiration - Hill Plain House

Sometimes I feel like the best way to have a home is one that embraces the land and country around it. Most of our local areas are quite rural and even though it's no mountain range or beach scene, the country is beautiful and why try to create an artificial scene when you have something incredible right out your door?!

This house was designed by Wolveridge Architects and won some pretty hefty Australian design awards last year. It's exactly the kind of space that brings the beauty of outside in.

Don't you just love the open design and minimal clutter? The yellow accent in the kitchen brightens up the dark wood walls.

If this was the view from my shower, I'd have a less than desirable water bill and shriveled up fingers and toes. Isn't it awesome?
