~The Birthday~

So our gorgeous daughter turned 3 last week. We celebrated with her little friends at the park on her actual birthday and then celebrated again on the weekend with family. Not only did we celebrate her birthday, we also christened our deck!!! Here's some photos to tell the story!

 Good morning birthday girl!!

 She adores peacocks..and i adored this card. Going to frame it and put it in her room! AND THE SHOES!!

 Lucky girl with her beautiful gifts.

 Much loved dolly varden cake!

 Martha inspired pom poms! And hot air balloons!

 Feature cushion from the talented 'tractor girl' off etsy/madeit. And re-painted chairs and also a brand new 'deck' table which my husband made himself!! (can't see it really)

And finally...i love this photo! Captured just after a 'high 5' with her uncle!

Hope you enjoyed!! We certainly did!

Project day...actually last weekend!

So its taken a week almost to load these pics up...however better late than never.

We have a timber TV cabinet and coffee table which doesn't suit the new house SO instead of selling them and getting something else we just painted them w.h.i.t.e!! :) And heres some photos!

Voila!

Still need to get another coat on the coffee table..so photos to follow for it.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

The planning begins.

Firstly I must apologize for my absence to the blogging world, this laptop of mine has really dampened my spirits as it seriously takes AGES to do anything, so I've been hesitating posting, blogging etc... but i'm here today and posting!

So today is the 4th day of March... 34 days till my daughter Olivia turns 3!!!! Can't believe how times flying! Anyways, so i've started planning her party, thinking it could just be an immediate family celebration and perhaps also have a BYO picnic with all her little friends during the week at a park. This is what i've complied so far... she's gone through the Womens Weekly Cake Book and has asked for the marshmellow dolly varden cake! :)

I've got my trusty Martha Stewart Paper Pom Pom instructions ready to go, looking forward to a trial run!! And paper dollies...so pretty and easy! :)

Hope you have a great weekend, my husband and I are off to Top Gear this weekend.. was a gift I organised for him for all his hardwork on the house. :-)

Moved in, carpet and one white chair.

Just wanted to share some photos of our moving in process and the new carpets...

Also i'm in the process of painting all our dining table chairs 'white'...here's the first one in primer.

 Ta-dah!!!!!

And I spotted a nice grey and white stripped cushion to tie onto chair..but only 1 left in shop so didn't get it.

Have a fabulous day!

1 week on...

and L.O.V.I.N.G IT!!!!!!!!! The carpet is just so lovely and soft underfoot, the colours are really calming and soothing and the high ceilings just make it feel so airy and light. We still have to finish the study and ensuite and a few things in the kitchen like overhead cupboards/shelves etc and also have to mount the dryer in the laundry. Its hard being here and not being able to decorate just yet...so have to sit tight for a while and save some $$'s and then get into it all. Its so nice being back in our own space, and i'm sure my inlaws are glad to have their own space back.Will upload some photos in the coming days, im back to using my elderley laptop, so takes awhile to do anything.

Hope your all well.
