A Corner Of My Home
Back to decorating our home! After the initial burst of energy to get the place sorted, we were still left with a couple of boxes and a bunch of decorative pieces to find a home. Not only were we exhausted by the move, but as it does, life took over and between our trip to Sydney and two birthdays we hadn’t had a chance to do a thing until yesterday. Although we’re not quite there, we got a reasonable amount done including a little rearranging of our vintage marble bistro table in the corner of our bedroom.
Guest Post over at Hege In France
Hi everyone, how was your weekend? Yesterday was Fathers Day for us so after treating “Papa” to breakfast in bed, we made ourselves a picnic and headed out for the day on the west coast of Auckland to celebrate not only Fathers Day, but the first day of spring!
Come Join Me at La Donna Moderna
On Wednesday I did a guest post over at La Donna Moderna, a lovely website for the modern woman. Did you read it? I wrote about my eclectic home, these dashing little men, along with some other photos of inside my home over the years. I’d so love to have you visit me over there and to read your comments!
Finding A Bargain Part 3
Oh what a morning I’ve had! Firstly it’s school holidays here in New Zealand so I’ve got my hands full with my three little ones running around and to top it off, my husband returned from a work trip to find that his car didn’t start, so we had to wait all morning for it to be towed away much to the delight of the kids.
A New Mantle
The past couple of weeks I haven’t touched a box. Once the essentials were out and everything was manageable I just kind of collapsed with exhaustion. So that means we’ve got furniture around the house that we haven’t quite found a home for, barely any paintings on the wall, let alone anything decorative around and oh yes, still loads of boxes. Hardly inspiring. Yesterday I was fed up, so played around with some of our things on the mantle in our bedroom. It probably won’t stay like that, but it’s nice for now.
Our Renovation, The Bathroom
When we renovated the bathroom of our Sydney apartment some six or seven years ago, we faced two challenges, a lack of space and a limited budget. That bathroom was teeny tiny – so tiny that it was impossible to take a photo of all of the features!
