Greetings from Down Under! This week I?m hanging out with my two American cousins, they?re brother and sister and they have lived in (separate parts of) Australia for over a decade. Both are now married to Aussies and living happily in that country. Today I?m leaving my cousin Andrew after a weekend in Melbourne and I?m headed to the Gold Coast to visit my cousin Christina and to do some sightseeing in that area. Follow along on Instagram :)

I don?t believe it spending time on my computer when I?m in an exotic new place so I won?t be blogging this week, but I did want to share some really fantastic tours from homes across Australia. I hope these Aussie abodes inspire you and get you excited for warm summer breezes. Simplicity and raw materials are on display in this inner city home renovation, I love the use of natural wood and the sophisticated pared down palette, don?t miss the black slatted fence in the rear yard, stunning!
