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...
