A colourful house

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">I am absolutely a lover of white house but occassionally I come across a fabulous home, full of colour and i just adore it. This is one of those houses. The colours are a smashing combination and would look absolutely divine internally as well. The greenery works a treat as well, giving it such an ornate, stylish feel to the home.

Bunches of blooms ...

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />Our lovely, what were little geraniums suddenly became out of control and needed a big trim. Consequently after a whole lot of cutting back on Sunday, i was left with lots and lots of gorgeous little bunches of flowers, I found all the little glass vases I had and popped them around our home... Below is a couple of bunches on the end of a side table with other bits and bobs.<br /><br />I also noticed that our first hydrangea flower has come out! I was very excited to see it as our back garden feels a bit green, not too long before the green should turn into a whole lot of gorgeousness. It also means that many of my other favourite flowers will be almost available at the flower markets - spring/summer is always my favourite time of year!<br /><br />Kellie xx<br /><br />Ps. I received lots of emails from lovely readers who asked if they could have a little longer to enjoy the 20% off so decided that it will extend til next Sunday (16th Oct 2011) - enjoy! xxx</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/61944679@N05/6226051536/" title="G1 by Ada & Darcy, on Flickr"><img alt="G1" height="267" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6092/6226051536_c334c90984.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/61944679@N05/6226051530/" title="G2 by Ada & Darcy, on Flickr"><img alt="G2" height="600" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6105/6226051530_c8fb1f05f7_z.jpg" width="400" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/61944679@N05/6226051534/" title="G3 by Ada & Darcy, on Flickr"><img alt="G3" height="276" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6223/6226051534_b1cd8f7cef.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/61944679@N05/6226051524/" title="G4 by Ada & Darcy, on Flickr"><img alt="G4" height="600" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6223/6226051524_8b5922c4e6_z.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

I popped out to the nursery today and bought lots of gorgeous petunias for the front and back garden. My taste tends to change like the wind and I often find myself getting sick of things. I think this is why annuals work so beautifully for me, by the time I am ready for a change the season has ended and I have to move on to something new. Plus they work perfectly around my staple items of hydrangeas and gardenias. Plus annuals especially petunias are full of fabulous colour and brighten my day! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388996173463856242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2XT2-J_0PI2TDqptoZf649EczlkgvsrkXVi3MNrUa7vdKSOTUeonMATeE4DbP9G38B-k7Gg59NMOkFLHHm0RxEqW0k40r79l1qrdtjGiiebpoA4_7hBm-NB1PJh_iF8yKp7LvttKaiXrH/s400/PB.png" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389020709019729298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSxXts4dVvvT19YdTC_jPbw6O_O3_-BmrsgHuvtLBBaM1EJkj9_DEQGtXu194_1QM3J7Gkr37v8Pk3KrQxc2DhGpIJLCM76nCuRoi32ceFeaLCw-lxN3SK3jpjv-J7LH6yvLrEu1Dbrm0N/s400/Pet+1.png" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 265px;" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZeQ3hIpygpydIimtkGKEE4B-z0oj5DzYTsf9Xv5LKQx9_hDXeIVKfx5-Qc5aK9V8_bX9OEUJ0de_27KgIBvXe3lADbHxaP-1Gy6HvEORvmtNaxSEkvFG5qkVfeGUnFf4xL3PMkgbNXZCW/s1600-h/PA.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388996175174957202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZeQ3hIpygpydIimtkGKEE4B-z0oj5DzYTsf9Xv5LKQx9_hDXeIVKfx5-Qc5aK9V8_bX9OEUJ0de_27KgIBvXe3lADbHxaP-1Gy6HvEORvmtNaxSEkvFG5qkVfeGUnFf4xL3PMkgbNXZCW/s400/PA.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 316px;" /></a><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389023526778320834" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHCtwzU4IbvwP6f2Ba44pUT5y1GpSWAxttXnGPwwZmDacNwrDB3_gwK-75VhEMIQu-lBKLsxB0aOQTkeyQVUxfF-WDdtnRH9kFbQ6hDWGccPW0nIqO4xPiQ_eqHvZSIRjX77wX4eVQnUvU/s400/Pet+4.png" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 287px;" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZeQ3hIpygpydIimtkGKEE4B-z0oj5DzYTsf9Xv5LKQx9_hDXeIVKfx5-Qc5aK9V8_bX9OEUJ0de_27KgIBvXe3lADbHxaP-1Gy6HvEORvmtNaxSEkvFG5qkVfeGUnFf4xL3PMkgbNXZCW/s1600-h/PA.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">From </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/79751296@N00/3220419520/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">here</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">, </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/PB%20http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/1169358951034254664bAuNHS"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">here</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">, </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/donnacorless/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">here</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">, </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.tclawnservices.com/%20accent_plants_and_flow..."><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">here</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> and </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ugardener/3447360932/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">here</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">. x</span></div>
