Aidan’s room was in need of a major clean and revamp. I had to bite my lip, cry a little and part with things he’d outgrown. I listed some things on ebay, donated lots of toys to friends and have bags and bags of stuff waiting for the op shop to reopen. It took two [...]

I Kicked My Husband Out

Most days I like to consider myself an organised person but in an overall sense I’m pretty lax, I don’t feel the need to line things up in straight lines or colour code everything, I just don’t have the energy. The same goes for my wardrobe, everything has it’s place, it’s very own super crowded, [...]

Bling Storage

I love accessories. In the past I’d always found it difficult to find nice clothes so I relied on necklaces and cute earrings to “carry” my outfits. Storing them had begun to be a problem, one that my husband was adamant I fixed… pronto. This is my getting dressed up area. The draws are filled [...]

My Place & Yours

I’m this weeks “Theme Queen” and I chose Top Draw as our challenge. I’m sharing my top bedroom draw and all it’s contents. I couldn’t help myself and styled it a little bit first… ok, a lot.Things I can’t seem to live without at bedtime: Notebook – I do most of my deep thinking right [...]

Master Bedroom… Finally.

Completely by accident I found the most perfect quilt cover, the one from my dreams and it was on sale. It’s a lovely soft 400 thread count Egyptian Cotton, duck egg blue quilt cover with 2 tailored pillowcases. After just one wash it felt like we’d been using it for years, so so soft. It [...]

Bedroom… almost done :)

A lot has been changed but I still feel like there is a few things left to do. The space looks really lovely and I can see my original “look” starting to form and I’m really happy with the progress. Steve took me to Ikea yesterday so I thought I’d share some of the improvements [...]

Something for me…

I was given money for my birthday and since I’m the bill payer in our household it automatically went toward awesome things like rego, new tires and other boring things like that. I knew that eventually down the track I’d find something I like and be able to justify the purchase as a belated present [...]

Moments of Solitude

I think the best Christmas present I’ve bought myself to date is my annual subscription to Real Living magazine. I’m only missing 4 issues in the whole 4 years it’s been going to print. What I love is that it comes to me, out of the blue and perks me right up. Steve knows whenever [...]

The little things…

02:18PM | June 11, 2009 | 4 comments

A lot of little things have taken up my week so far. I know I’ve been rather absent from my blog, you’ll have to forgive me, but it seems I prefer to spend my days in my head of late. I’ll try my best to explain… I hate blogging without photos, I even hate it [...]

Lamps… after 3 years of searching.

We have LAMPS… seriously my soul feels lighter. I’ve been on the hunt for the right lamp at the right price for oh so long now and finally my search is over. Of course Steve didn’t really understand my obsession and was quite happy with the ones we have but he’s a boy and we [...]

Makeover… continued

I’ve made some steps in the right direction with regards to the master bedroom in the last few days so I thought I’d do a little progression report. Above is drawings I did last night of the bedroom. A blank slate, no colour and includes some of the features I intend to add to the [...]

Nesting??? editted

The books say “If you rent you’ll want to buy and if you own you’ll want to renovate”. I believe them. A few people I know have taken the plunge and advantage of the housing price fall and I long to join them. Now we don’t have to worry about IVF a whole new range [...]

Bedroom Angst

From humble beginnings. Sorry it’s a photo of a photo. Don’t you just love the soccer shirts hanging up instead of curtains. The bear hanging light bulb, stupid u shaped pillows and an unmade bed. This was our first bedroom. He bought that second hand dresser for me as a moving in present. Sweet huh. [...]

Guestroom… finally

I DID iron the sheets… I guess I’m out of practise or just really crap at it :P I love the mixture of pale blue, aqua, yellow and white and all those plump pillows of course. Aww pretty bed. I’m NOT painting it white :P By adding the student desk (has the same stain) it [...]

just one more post about linen… promise

Our bed all made up. Sheets and Q.Cover is washed but still stiff, bugger ironing them. I did iron the lace however. Overtime they’ll feel like silk… dreamy. Looks a bit grandma-ish in the photos but in person it really isn’t. Yay!!!
