MOTH has a total aversion to pale blue paint. He will not, under any circumstances entertain the colour. When queried by his pyschotherapist Dr. Millie, he mutters something about it being cold, icy, unforgiving & unwelcoming (whatever that means!). So today I'm just going to have to fly under MOTH's radar with this scrumptious image. Image: Trent Bell
Oh Mill's, you are posting so quickly lately that I can't catch up. I LOVED your last one....wherever you got the AFTER photo from was genius !! That nursing home that you are both going to will be the most wonderful source of posts...the sad thing is, we will be in there before you !! I can remember my Dad saying all of those things about blue paint that MOTH says......tell him that times have changed somewhat and there are now so many shades of blue paint that those particular points are now null and void !! Show MOTH that beautiful room and he cannot fail to be impressed. It is beautiful. XXXX
Ohhh Millie, I love this pic, where did you get it from? I have a blue hue in my living room, can't think of a colour to change it too... but love the picture frame moulding and would like to show my husband to add to his many weekend jobs. Please feel free to let me know, I would greatly appreciate that. Cheers. Angie
You know, the middle of a freezing South Australian winter is probably the worst time to get MOTH to consider icy blues - wait until you get a sweltering heat wave and ask again! Otherwise, wait until he's as old as the bloke in your last post, and tell him it's his favourite colour! K xx
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!

'No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it all too seriously.'
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.
Oh Mill's,
