turquoise painted floors and windsor smith


of all places, i find information on what to paint my floors with in instyle magazine! the 2nd picture below of the turquoise floors was featured on page 238 of october 2010 australian instyle. they recommend using cabot's cfp water-based gloss for timber floors. i popped onto their website and can't see any colours or any information that there paint isn't just a clear gloss. hmmm more research required. 

i also popped across to a post on high-heeled foot in the door to have a look at their handy work with painting their floor a similar colour. they used a paint called break-through. looks good. great inspiration. the question is should i still paint my floors white or choose another colour like turquoise? i have red couches....turquoise might look like a joke. perhaps i just recover the couches?

books and bookshelves for a home library




i have always wanted a library for my picture books. i don't read much, but i love books on architecture, home wares, art deco, fashion and i have a huge collection of magazines. so who needs a guest bedroom, they can use the couch. i would rather devote a spare room to a library. my library certainly wouldn't be a quite space. it would probably be stained with red wine, have nine inch nails or a saint germain compilation engraved into the cd player from repeating it so often, and be littered with post it notes and decks of cards. i have started using cards to mark pages in magazines rather then post its, to avoid the sticky pages if anything.

white floors for resale...will the buyers like it or loathe it?


back to my original thougths....can or more so should i paint the floor white? in australia, it isn't that common and although i love it, i don't want there to be an issue with selling the property, as i will probably sell my house within about 2 years. if i don't then i will be dissapointed that i didn't do what i want.  when i see pictures such as below, of interios by nacho polo (photos by andrea savini), i am encouraged to follow such inspirations and bite the bullet and go white.









more on nacho polo can be found at yatzer. i found the pictures first at harmoniogkontrast.blogspot.com

provincial home living

i opened the latest edition of australian country style this morning stopped instantly on page 5. the advert for provincial home living caught my eye as i love the block book case. it is exactly what i want, but i dont want to buy one, i want to build one. wish me luck. i also have a hall table which looks simular to the desk. if i build the hutch bit to go overtop, it will be perfect. might need to buy a router. back to ebay i go.

poliform library shelves

Perhaps too contemporary for my liking, yet I do like the portions of the library shelves.
