Favourite Residential Family Style House

I love this family home, located on the mid-North Shore, Roseville, Sydney, it's casual & informal elegance coupled with it's bright open plan living & kitchen areas make it a universal family retreat . The multi-fold doors in each back wall partition are a fave of mine - allowing the inside-out & out-side in, such a must in temperate Australian climate. I particularly love the sensitivity in keeping the original architecture of street facade and blended it with the modern lifestyle of family needs towards the back of the house without - at any time - compromising a clean & fresh style.

Happy Mother's Day.... 11 May

This is one of my Mum's favourite blooms - Magnolia Grandi-flora 'Little Gem' that I took a photo of for cards that I make for her. This is also one of my favourite blooms as well, I think because growing up we always had different magnolias blooming in the garden so they were always beautifully present, so much so, I had the burnished leaves in my wedding bouquet and my bridesmaid's bouquets...

Wishing all the Mums, Grandmothers, Mothers-in-law,Stepmothers, Foster-Mothers, Pseudo-Mothers, and God-mothers... A wonderful day with your families.

Love you Mum, S x x x
