Desire to inspire - jo's page. Do you know I uploaded that photo above on January 1?
Today is January 13. I had so many plans for the few days I had off after New Years Day. Then I came down with what could only be described as a killer head cold. 5 days lost in a snuffly haze of dirty tissues and unbearable grumpiness. The very first day I felt better was the day I actually had to go back to work. Typical :) This last week hasn't been much better with a bout of what I am assuming is arthritis in my left ankle. The floor in the breezeway has ground to a halt. The exciting thing was that when I was avoiding the hard dirty work of stripping the stubborn layers of paint off the floor I decided to start peeling back the paint on the old bricks ... as you do.
It has been hellishly hot all over Australia this week with heatwave conditions (days above 40 common and nights that don't drop below 25) and fires burning in many states.

Often times, though, the holidays bring some extra stress to our lives making it hard to juggle work, extra visits, holiday errands and baking. Below are a few seasonal root vegetable recipes to help keep you grounded and nourish your house guests. Grant and I have had some conflicting schedules lately but we try to make sure we get to spend at least every Sunday together. Often we make time to cook a good meal together on Sunday afternoons. Many times, Grant will prepare a roast chicken with vegetables as his Mom often did on Sundays when he was a kid. Roast Chicken with Root Veggies• 1 small Whole Chicken • 30 tiny New Potatoes • 3 Carrots, cut into 1” rounds • Salt • Pepper • 2 Tbsp Fresh Rosemary, chopped • 2 slices Bacon • ½ cup Chicken Stock Preheat the oven to 375.
This next dish can be served so many different ways. Heat a large cast iron skillet on medium high heat. Preheat oven to 375. The style files. Bloesem.

Here's a look at our upstairs guest bathroom.
Last night I covered an accent wall with removable wallpaper. I love it! This bathroom has a peculiar layout. You walk in past the shower stall on the right, and when you hit the sink, you turn right to get to the toilet. Which is under a lovely arch at the end of a passage that is almost long enough to feel like a hallway. The kind folks at Walls Need Love sent the product to review. Like the Sunburst wallpaper I designed last year, this paper is essentially a giant self-adhesive wall decal, and it's easily to peel off and reposition. I measured the wall and cut a length of paper that would leave a little extra overhang at the bottom. After a couple tries I had it, and then it was just a matter of peeling off the backing paper gradually while smoothing down the paper with the tool provided. I cut another piece to place next to the first panel, overlapping the seam by a quarter inch to match the pattern.

When editors of country living magazine first approached us about designing a studio for their "house of the year" project we couldn't believe it. we would get to create our dream space, partner with a designer and they would make it all happen. ummm, YES! We immediately started pinning inspiration and brainstorming all the things important to us in a shared work space: big work table, cozy seating, shelves for our collections, and a giant wall for inspiration. we knew we wanted to play with a balance of feminine and masculine as well as new and old. after all the sketching, planning, measuring, fabric and paint swatches... there it was, just like magic - our dream studio. as if that wasn't enough, we were able to attend the launch party in NYC, where the country living team treated us like celebrities. dream project!
