Supporting those less fortunate than us!

Absolutely love this idea of selling beautifully hand crafted homewares from http://www.oxfamshop.org.au/ in support of the workers in the developing world and raising awareness of their plight...which in turn improves working conditions for them.

I adore these cushions!!

Before and During

Its taken awhile, but i've finally found my very first photo of the 'house' before we started reno's. Here she is...in all her beauty....

 And here she is mid-way through extension... Changed windows, trimmed plants, taken out gardens, put in new gardens, new front door, new roof, etc etc..

We are getting there slowly! Builders have finished there work, just us fitting it all out now. Hubby started today on tiling the bathroom and laundry. Fingers crossed we'll be moving in early 2011.

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with the ones you love.

Weekend tomorrow!

This week has flown! Between normal family life, this week has been full of ordering, phone calls and decisions for our extension. We have timber flooring being delivered whenever the rain stops, cornice was delivered today, and skirting and architrave is being delivered Monday. So its all happening. Itching to get back into our house!!

I'm lazy this week and haven't uploaded current photos of the house, will do that over the weekend.

Just been lurking on this website... http://www.abeachcottage.com/ i just adore her decorating style ♥

Super Saturday!

What a day!! Background- We're currently living with my husband's parents while our extension is getting done, and so I asked my wonderful mother if she could watch the children while I went and helped my husband up at our house. And for the first time in ages, I went to the dump!! Stupidly enough I was quite excited because I hadn't gone to the dump for quite sometimes as i'm usually looking after our children. 

Just came across this website via the decorating forum... I love the look of these prints and wasn't sure where to find them!! BUS AND TRAM SCROLLS

And also found an image of this lounge room, simple and elegant!!

 

Welcome to my first ever blog post!

Well, i'm not entirely sure how to start except by welcoming you to my blog. I hope to see myself educated in the blogger world over the next few weeks, so please be patient with me.

So where I'm at? I'm currently studying interior design through http://www.theinteriordesigninstitute.com.au/ and i'm ♥ing it. So indepth, great support from my tutor and best of all...i'm learning so much. It has really helped my husband and I design the colour schemes of our home renovation.

Home renovation you say...yes, we're currently 70% through an extension to our "little house". Will have to add some pictures very soon as pictures say a thousand words...but until then here is a copy of our floor plan.

Phew! First post done! Looking forward to the next.

Take care,
