Did you see we have been tagged by The House That A-M Built - how exciting! Thought provoking questions - should be fun!
Well i have jsut come across your blog c/o White and Wander. I am really enjoying reading through past posts to catch up with your reno. I am so glad to be finding some beautiful Australian blogs. see you soon
LOVE!! I love blue and white. In fact, I'm currently going through a blue phase in my home...the color just soothes me and looks wonderful with bright, fresh white!
I'm not sure how I got here via few blogs, however I love the view inside The Laurel Hedge. I couldn't believe the blue and white images; they are my favourite colours and I adore everything you posted.
Sad to see your fairy house go but how delightful it is going to be loved elsewhere...and I am now yearning for a bath!
May I return again? please feel free to visit me at www.thecolourjane.blogspot.com
my daughter and I are following A-M's adventures as well.
Life in the little village of Stirling in the hills above Adelaide in South Australia is just about as good as it gets! Enjoying a cool climate and 'hill-station' feel, Stirling is well-known for its 19th-century stone villas set on large grounds dense with roses, camellias, rhododendrons and huge old Oaks.
With 3 sons, 3 grandchildren & my work in a scientific business dominated by yes, more men, The Laurel Hedge was born out of my sheer desperation for something the boys just don't get & never will!

15 years of renovating was over - we'd just completed everything & were really enjoying our lovely old Victorian villa in the Eastern suburbs of Adelaide. However we'd always had a fondness for the country life & without warning we found ourselves transported by alien beings disguised as Real Estate Agents to a house on 1/2 acre of wild, rambling gardens in Stirling!
The house is circa 1972 & with all the 70's features. Open-faced brown brick walls, raked ceilings, exposed beams, split levels - totally yuk! However, it's inherent design is great & the location amazing - tucked behind a wonderful old laurel hedge in a quiet country lane in the heart of gorgeous Stirling.
