Wow I can't believe that I haven't updated our blog since March!!!! Actually I can, life has been pretty busy, hectic and crazy. Blogging hasn't really seemed that important. Anyway, I am now inspired for a few reasons:
b) We had visitors recently that remarked how they couldn't believe we had only been in the house such a short time ( we kinda forget how far we have come)
c) We are really enjoying watching Murray and Julie's house progress via their blog
d) We are on holidays and for the first time in so long we haven't had hundreds of things to do and so have just enjoyed being in our home.
The family room was looking a bit bare so Craig and I searched for something to break up the long wall.
It has to be at least 4m long, not too deep or busy and with a bit of colour.
We have had a mixed reaction but we think it does the trick.
Another development during July was the wallpapering in Niki's room.
We bought the wallpaper online last year (Norwall- Tuxedo) We were able to source the paper from a supplier in America at a great price. (Discountdecorating.com)
Poor Niki had been very patiently waiting to get her feature wall done, which we did as a suprise for her birthday.
Niki had Uni on the day of her birthday and so as soon as she left, we called the decorator to let him know "the coast was clear".
He was here within half an hour and finished about 4 hours later. We resurrected her room just in the nick of time (excuse the pun).
We have added a few more pieces here and there. Our house is feeling very mch like OUR home now.
I did try to grow herbs in this planter, with no success, I guess they didnt get enough sun. The herbs outside are growning well so I am cheating and trying indoor plants.
The washboard on the wall was a "find", it was hidden in a cupboard that we were looking at in an Antique Store and the tin sign was a recent purchase on our girl's trip to Melbourne.
That's all for now, next I will try to show our garden progress.
