I'm up bright and early today. It's going to be a fun day! I'm off to pick my kitchen and bathrooms with Jodi (who is my colour/interior person and her husband is our builder - they don't live in Wagga now, they used to - you'll see that on her blog). It's getting close. We …
We all have a talent (so The Universe says). Some of us have discovered them, some of us haven't. My sister, Amie, discovered hers only 6 weeks ago... We always knew Amie loved to bake, but we never knew she could do this. Heck, she didn't even know! Amie has been a great source of …
I could talk about this subject for hours... I love a good kitchen splashback. But today I am discussing mirror or pressed metal?? I've done both - pressed metal in the last house we built (I painted mine white) and a mirror one in my "The Block" house. This year on The Block there has …
I am that clever today because I wrote this post yesterday. Check me out! I hardly ever plan in advance for my little bloggy. But today, when you read this, I will be on my way to Melbourne. I have a few doctor visits today. A few tests, a chat about my medication whilst in …
Morning! Thanks for all your votes, emails and comments about the floorboards yesterday. The jury is still out, but we may have narrowed it (husband has gone off the dark boards - hallelujah!). I think I need to see some real samples now in the driftwood, smoked and black and classic walnut (I still also …
I need some help! I've done this before and every time we get to the floorboard colour choice in the house I can't decide. Why are there so many choices!? My husband does like to weigh in on this decision (oh the horror, how dare he! *stomping my foot* haha!). He has a preference for dark floorboards …
Fancy sending this home with my kids. What a mean thing to do. Ok, I may have fist pumped and written "YES thank you" on twitter last night. They'll be gone in a week if they sit at my house. The fights have already started. No good can come of this AT ALL. We've already had …
Thank you so much for all the love yesterday. I had such an amazing day. I am still buzzing! So much to think about and organise and I have a hundred blog posts running around in my head! But this post today was one I had prepared earlier and I love your feedback when I …
As my new house kicks off, I have been thinking about the boy's bedrooms. There are 3 of them for me to decorate (I've missed talking about interiors over here on my blog!). I've been looking for some inspiration and I can tell you I am feeling flat. I am totally uninspired. Girls rooms look …
I'm going for the weatherboard look on my new house. I'm doing them light grey though. The covenants on the subdivision doesn't specifically say I can have weatherboards. It says I can have material made from 'fibre cement sheeting', so I've had to look for a weatherboard product that fits in to this category. So far, I'm …
I bought this folder from Kikki K earlier this year and have just become motivated enough to start filling it. My 10 year old and I sat together yesterday afternoon ripping out pictures from magazines (I am a magazine junkie!) and putting them all in their sleeves. It's getting really exciting around here. Met with my …
Remember the cooking challenge we did on The Block? Well, we won with this recipe... My Nan makes it and now we make it! Ok, so I am NOT a cook. Not good at it. Although, I am capable, it's just that I don't enjoy it. I cook for survival. But this one is easy! …
