NZ beauty...

I often visit the New Zealand House & Garden website as they always have such beautiful features and articles. I saw this house while flicking through the site today and loved the bursts of colour that were added throughout the house - not in a large scale but in small doses that seemed just perfect! Soaking up the last moments of the weekend....

Never taking for granted...

how awesome it is to have our shower back - Finally fixed {new tiles, re-grouted & waterproofed}. Oh the small pleasures in life...

Project sneak peek...

I have many projects underway at the moment {the list never seems to get smaller} but I finished this one tonight and love the result. My sister bought some great barstools in a white gloss finish and we chose this gorgeous fabric to recover some cushions for them. I used a plain black as the underneath fabric {to keep costs down} and added some ties also. I will post the completed look once she has them. Hope you had a lovely weekend!!!

Pretty in Pink...

I can't believe I didn't really like pink when I growing up - I was always a 'blue' girl but since my early twenties I absolutely LOVE it!!! Here are some flickr finds that I wanted to share...

Bathroom bliss {or not}...

Well, with the house decisions it's back to square one... We have done a full circle and are now looking at renovating our current house (not in a major way though luckily!). Who knows what we may decide next week though!!!

Aside from that we are having major dramas with our shower and being a 1 bathroom house {sigh} we have been using the bath and our lovely friends bathroom! Only 5 days left until it will be fixed and working again {counting down...}. It has had me dreaming of a gorgeous little bathroom renovation with inspiring ideas from some pictures shown above...

Oh to dream...

Just a few pictures of some gorgeous real estate I have come across lately in our searching. Not quite in our price range but still beautiful :-)

Hope you are having a lovely weekend so far!!

House hunting...

Entry with stunning chandelier...

Sunny spot for chatting with friends...

Gorgeous bedroom for a wonderful night's sleep...

The perfect dining room for long lunches, dinners or any excuse to get together...

A relaxing spot to daydream, have a snack, take a dip or whatever takes our fancy...

A huge decision was made last week... We are searching for a new house!!! It is time to leave our first house and find something a little bigger and with more potential than our current house. It is exciting but will be hard work finding the right one! My expectations are a little high on what is realistic for us but one can always dream right? I can't wait to find the perfect shell in which to create a beautiful house for us and our future family !!!

{note to those of you whose minds are racing - not just yet :-) }

Decisions, decisions...

I have been playing with a few ideas over the weekend for fabrics for my new chairs and cushions for another sofa. I put together some fabrics which I love together and I think they will be a fun and happy change to our current lounge room. The blue & white ticking is for the antique armchairs (probably in slipcovers so I can change my mind!!!). I am thinking of a neutral coloured 3 seater sofa for our other seating. I was thinking of blue & white scheme but really like this instead! Still deciding...
