Front door - gorgeous tessellated antique tiles on the front porch...
Looking through into the hallway. Chinoiserie wallpaper and chequered black and white flooring... (sorry this photo not brilliant quality though).
My bedroom... the bed was amazingly comfortable - antique white linen and squishy pillows - I slept ' like a log'.
Little writing desk in my bedroom.
And so cute - a tiny balcony leading from the room.
The bathroom. Black and white.
With a shot of colour with the fuchsia pink petunias in the window box.
Such a pretty flower shop on Queen Street.
Flower displays spilling out on to the pavement and arranged outside the shop.And this was the most FANTASTIC antique shop....
A view through the front door.. wonderful armoire.
And a view out through the the back of the shop.
Antique stone ware, pots, garden furniture and big generous shrubs.
The area we stayed was so delightful - lovely little breakfast cafes and restaurants too... We had a good session at the InStyle Gift Fair taking in all the stands and exhibits at least twice - and I made sure that I took notice of the lovely stand Bianca Lorenne as described by Claire at HAVEN HOME blog... (do check her out - just great)......
All in all a wonderful weekend. Do hope yours was too.
Looks like a wonderful spot...tranquil and all the comforts...so nice to get away!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a fantastic weekend Sarah...so glad you enjoyed your stay at the b&b...which is just so adorable...would have loved to have attended the Instyle Gift fair..will check out Bianca's block to find out more. XO
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time we lived around the corner from Queen Street. Fabulous area and just keeps getting better. Really missed being at the fair this year so glad you enjoyed your visit. Colour me GREEN!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Sarah, Sarah, now I'm all home & Sydney-sick!! I lived in Paddington at one time and Woollahra was my local 'spot'!! Many a happy day was spent browsing the antique shops in Queen St and there's a lovely little hotel just up from where you stayed 'The Hughenden' - did you go there? Glad you had a lovely time, I'm booking my ticket......xx
ReplyDeleteSarah...you lucky thing. You could not have stayed in a better location.
ReplyDeleteGreat shopping and cafes. I love the little book shop, Lesley McKay's that is tucked away in the courtyard. That shop and Bill's for coffee were two of my favourite things to do. I am like Susie...ready to book my ticket. Looks like you stayed in a great spot...thanks for the photos!
Jeanne :)

ReplyDeleteThe perfect location in Sydney...I am glad you had such a fab time, xv.
ReplyDeleteThe perfect place to spend a weekend, Sydney is such a great city and I adore Paddington as it has such a great vibe.

I'm not sure I would have left that gorgeous room. How sweet. Loved the bed and bathroom. And how often do you get flower box in the window. So charming.

ReplyDeleteWhere you confused us was
first on the particulars. You know, people say, the devil is in
the details... And it couldn't be
more correct in this article. Having said that,
permit me tell you just what exactly
did give good results. Your text
is definitely quite
engaging and this is possibly the reason why
I am taking an effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of
doing that. 2nd, although I can easily notice a leaps in logic you come up with, I am not
necessarily convinced of exactly how you seem to
connect the ideas which produce
the actual final result. For now I shall
yield to your position however wish in the near future you connect your facts better.
