I had always thought I would wallpaper a little wall in my entry. I wanted it to be cool, funky and fresh. It's a tall wall, and everyone can see it when you walk in. Normally I would go for something safer, but I have always loved these prints from Anna Spiro and Porter's Paints, …
Hi guys! Want to win an IKEA business pack? I was lucky enough to be sent one, and I am loving them sick. I've popped them away for now until we move house, but can't wait to use them. They are fabulous! The giveaway is valued at roughly $100, and would be perfect for those who are looking to …
Hello hello... I haven't got much to say this week. So my blog has been quiet. Come over to my Instagram for a little visual feast. I'm hanging out over there... More external house painting today. The plastering inside is almost done. The pro-painters go inside next Wednesday to do their job. The tiler is …
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 ... Howdy shoppers! Here are some more goodies for you this week. I'm not sure I could use number 2 successfully! Looks pretty though (and expensive!). Number 3 is a winner notepad (I have one). PLUS, I love number …
It's all happening people! The slab is DOWN.... I've been stalking the block and taking lots of photos. Here it is, the plumbing is in and it's boxed up and ready for the concrete. We got to the block at about 8.15am to see it all happening. I knew if we weren't early the boys would …
Yesterday I had to make some decisions about the front door. I'm ridiculously symmetrical and I had to have 2 glass sidelights either side of my door. My poor draftsman had to shuffle everything around to make this happen when I started drawing up my plans. It was a must for me. (As the house builds you'll see more …
I've been starting to think about the TV/Media/Rumpus room in the new house. I am having a living/dining area, but I am trying to decide how to layout the other tv room. In this house we are only have 2 lounge rooms. In our last house we had living, formal and rumpus. I always hated …
You know how I said yesterday they were starting today? Well they jumped ahead of me and I heard a rumour yesterday morning there was some activity at my block, so of course I jumped in the car to stalk the neighbourhood. I didn't have time to pack a picnic lunch! I squealed when I saw the excavator …
I think I'll do a Wednesday house update from now on. Seems like a good day to do it? Ok, where are we? This week is THE week (apparently) where the plans are coming OUT of council... which means we can get some dirt turning on the block. Fingers crossed! So what have I been …
Yesterday went well, I think. I picked lots of goodies for my new house. Now I'm just waiting for the final quotes to come in (holding breath - anyone got a job they can give me??). LOL! I am still a little up in the air about my bathrooms. That's ok, I am sure it …
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 …
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 …
