[the last few months...]

Hi to all my lovely readers!
I've been so busy the last few months with my interior design course that my poor little blog has been neglected like never before.
I thought it best to give you all a quick pictorial rundown on what I've been up to the last few months.

My step sister's wedding at the prettiest little winery just north of Brisbane.

Me and my 'usband.

Me and my gorgeous mother.

 

 Got some bangs.

(Stupidest decision ever! Pinned it back everyday because Brisbane rained for 3 months straight!)

Weekend getaways to the "Sunshine" coast.

Ran in the Mooloolaba Triathlon.

10km.

In 32 degree heat.

In the middle of the day.

 Styled a wedding shoot for Sugar Blush Photography.

(Featured on Style Me Pretty Australia last week!!)

I'll be posting some of my favourites from this shoot shortly!

Created mood-boards galore.

 Completed my first presentation board!

A few late afternoon bushwalking expeditions.

 More beautiful Sunshine Coast getaways.

Another wedding.

(Sporting my Lady Chatterley's Affair necklace)

The occasional baking on the weekends.

(Sarah Wilson's Crunchynut Cheesescake - Sugar-free amazingness) 

 Finally completed my 3rd granny rug (started one year ago) and gifted it to my step-mum for mother's day.

Went camping in Brunswick Heads over the June long weekend.

Little did we know that they where hosting a whole-town garage sale! I think they knew I was coming.

This is me enjoying a raw avocado and lime tart - loving these healthy raw desserts! 

 And finally, here's a sneak peak from my sister's engagement brunch that I organised for her a few weekends back.

I'll be sure to share more photo's from this day too!

And that's about it!

I'm now back at college thank goodness.  I was itching to get back!

I'll be trying my very best to keep you posted with what I'm up to.

You can also follow me on Instagram @ajaneday.

Hope you all have a lovely week ahead!

Stay warm!

[a beautiful converted barn]

There is nothing I love more than a converted building be it an old button factory or a city fire station.  There's something about their previous life that's so beautifully retained in its bones that gives the space "soul".

I read and hear of people managing to acquire buildings of this nature and I dream of one day having the opportunity to take on a similar project.

Oh how wonderful it would be!

For now, I'll continue pouring over innovative and awe-inspiring renovations like this one, until it's our turn.

The interiors of this beautiful converted barn are the work of French interior designer Joséphine Vérine- Gintzburger.  For more images of this amazing home or if you fancy swooning over more of Joséphine's inspiring work, visit here.

[my fast five on look see]

Today, the lovely Naomi Fenton featured a fast five interview with me on her blog, Look See!

I was completely touched when she asked me to take part.

I have followed her blog since I began blogging myself.  Her photographs are so beautiful and have certainly helped to reinforce my desire to explore every inch of Tasmania.

Thanks again Naomi for allowing me share a little about me with your readers.

[ode to red]

And so ends the first week of my interior design course.
It's been a pleasant change waking up and feeling excited about the day ahead.
Monday's for me are all about colour so before kicking off week two of my creative new journey, here's a little ode to red...

Does this bold, excitable colour feature in your home?

[highgate house - my wonderful week of work experience]

This week I was fortunate enough to spend time at Highgate House for work experience!
Interior designer Leigh Boswell and her creative team were so welcoming and kindly involved me in their busy days!
I did stocktake, sorted, tidied, coffee-d, chose fabrics and trims, unpacked, repacked and restyled to my little heart's content.  It was wonderful!

My experience there reaffirmed my decision to change career paths and enter the creative world of interior design.  It has made me so very excited for the study I have ahead of me (which incidentally begins on Monday!)

Exciting, colourful, aesthetic challenges are awaiting and I'm so excited to meet them!
