Over the Easter break I've been finalising the plans for our renovation. One of the rooms that I've been musing about is the Butlers Pantry. I like the idea of being able to see everything at once, whether that's drygoods or vases. I also like the idea of the fridge being out of the way. It just seems to take up so much space in the kitchen. See more photos of Butlers Pantries here. 

Lately I've been drawn to dining and living rooms that feel like a conservatory. At first I thought my conservatory crush was simply a symptom of Royal Wedding Fever (RWF). But now, I know it's not a fleeting crush. I'm going to design my dining room when we renovate the Queenslander as a conservatory. This one by Meg Braff is fabulous.
