It's cold and rainy here in Brisbane this morning, and just between you and me, I'm completely over winter. So, if I can't hurry Spring, I can at least indulge in a little virtual daydreaming, courtesy of Sig Bergamin.I feel better already.....

The plan for our new place is starting to come together. The idea is to bring a little bit of Palm Beach to Brisbane, throw in some Hamptons style, a touch of traditional Queenslander...basically, you could throw all the houses I've blogged about into a blender, and the result would be close to perfect.
