Today I took a few hours off and delivered some furniture to a friend in Brisbane. I just had to show you these gorgeous pictures of their home that is currently a work in progress. The house was all original when purchased and in desperate need of renovating. Ellie has worked her magic and turned this house into something truly stunning. I can’t wait to return in a few months time as she is also transforming underneath the home into a work studio extra bedrooms and a playroom for her daughter.
Views of the Brisbane River.
Check out the windows in the ceiling – lots of natural light.

Hi Sandy
Ellie's home looks fantastic, a bit different to when I saw it a while ago with all the construction and reno's going on.
She has it looking fabulous.
Thank you for sharing.
Take Care, Deb x

Hi Sandy –
Love your friends place so much. One of my favorite neighbors homes is my inspiration every single day – I'm waiting for her to have a party so I can bring my camera and fake taking pictures of people so I can get background shots inside her home.
Thanks for the tour –

Okay I am going to go clean mine and arrange a few things 🙂 Is that what we all do when we see a great magazine page or visit a great home that belongs to a friend.

Your friend really does have a lovely home. Her kitchen and dining area are gorgeous and I love the grille/fretwork over the doorway in the hall.
