Keeping It Simple



I'm in the midst of a monstrous week at work, with Advanced Trainee Workshops for the Fellows running each day & 2 Dinners. I do love these guys though, they've chosen The National Wine Centre in Adelaide as the venue, as they reckoned it had the best audio-visual facilities for teleconferencing, 'onya boys! This week is held just prior to their first round of College exams, & they are all a little edgy. So the excellent ' refreshment' area at the venue should help break the tension for the poor darlings at the end of each day. I do need to keep life simple & uncomplicated this week, so thank you Joseph Dirand for this outstanding kitchen design. Marble, black gloss woodwork, sandstone on the floor - such simplicity, but with every centimetre of it oozing style.

  10. {Deep sigh}....would love to share a glass of wine and plate of your favourite nibblies in this room Millie. I feel instantly calm just looking at it....just need to install a gatekeeper to keep the kidlets and their be-Vegimited hands out. Hope you're having a great week. Meredy xo.
    p.s. I'm not sure whether to leave a comment on MOTH's post, as he may miscontrue it as positive reinforcement....he is quite the charmer though isn't he?
