"Why do I even have a television?"
With yesterday's inspiring words from A Tranquil Townhouse (about making reading a priority) ringing in my ears, auctioning off my TV on ebay started to feel like a really good idea and ... imagine being able to design & decorate a house without having to find the right place for the big black box!

Hey Nic. Thanks for the link love :) Of course I would never advocate the complete removal of TV watching...all things in moderation I say! Although I don't have access to pay TV...maybe I need to think about getting it after seeing these beautiful images! I especially love Yellow. Maybe there's a book ;)
Hey Nicola, how are you? Hope you are enjoying Brisbane & your new career. I'm loving your blog - it's great! Have you heard of Dale Chihuly? He's an artist who works with glass - AMAZING colours. Check out his website, his light installation are fantastic - I'm sure you'll enjoy them. Take Care. Luv Claudia XOXO
