I'm off to see Not Dr. McDreamy first thing this morning for what will hopefully be my last visit. Had a series of final scans & tests during the week, which I'm taking tucked under my wing. And as I'm very preoccupied with bathrooms at the moment, I thought I'd dedicate this post to him. He's got a wacky sense of humour (thank goodness), so I'm sure he'd appreciate the odd little medical touches in this one. I feel really well, in fact compared to how I was earlier in the year, I feel absolutely sensational. So here's to nothing but good news from the not so gorgeous, but very talented one!
Inspired by the Owner's medical career, this compact bathroom injects serious function with a dose of hospital humour. A vintage steel hospital cabinet was sourced from a supply Company that provides period prop. pieces for films. Wall mounted taps and square white basins add to the doctor's office feel.
How about the use of x-ray viewing boxes as art work on the bathroom walls! Very quirky & clever.
Dear Millie...will be sending 'good vibes' to you from thr U.K.and will be thinking of you. Your positive mental attitude will win the day.I have always believed in that. Lots and lots of love. XXXX
Hope all goes well with your appointment Millie. I hope you have cause to pour yourself an enormous glass of wine and celebrate with your lovely ones tonight. Meredith xo.
You know....I have to say that the bathroom with the cabinet reminds me of a scullery/morgue! Only a single male surgeon would enjoy a bathroom like that. I don't know a gal that would set foot in it unless it belonged to Mr. McDreamy. By now your visit is probably "behind" you & I hope you and MOTH are toasting to the weekend! Warm hugs to you Mills.

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.
Here's to good news Millie....will be thinking of you and waiting to celebrate :) Take care xo
