Monster Lights


I am still in the throes of redecorating my son's room. I bought some vintage wallpaper (see earlier post) which eventually shall be pasted rather than sticky taped above the fireplace. I painted the mantle a bright blue and bought these supercute felt monster lights from bebeonline.

French Louis Bed


I bought this gorgeous bed off ebay. Once I have repainted and wallpapered the room I may be tempted to paint it. What do you think?

Fauna Pillows









These pillows are so cute - I have ordered the owl for my son's room. They are available in Australia online from dedeceplus



Designers Guild wallpaper - Celadon vases




I really like this quirky asian inspired wallpaper and am thinking about it for my family room. Our sofa is currently upholstered in an unattractive shade of olive green but I was thinking about using this wallpaper in the delft blue and redoing the sofa in a coral pink or pale blue.


White rocking horse





What a lucky girl - Santa brought my daughter a rocking horse for Xmas. Her name is Rose Tyler (yes we are Dr Who fans). This is just the most beautiful horse - I wish I was 5 years old. Many many thanks to the awesome Jeanette at http://www.delfrynrockinghorses.com.au/

who handmade this horse and for her patience with my countless emails to get this right! Cheers

Hallway makeover

I redid our front entranceway in our little cottage - painted in dulux antique white usa and taubmans reflex for the trim. I bought a cheap wooden hall table off ebay and repainted it in a lovely lilac colour and hung a vintage bevelled mirror. Our floors were all sanded and limewashed. The ugly green hollow front door was replaced with a new reproduction stained glass art deco solid front door. The vintage photo on the table is of a wedding parTy in the 1950's and my mother as a bridesmaid! A vast improvement.

Vintage Murano Glass chandelier


I bought this wonderful vintage murano glass chandelier off ebay and installed it in my revamped hallway - I really love it particularly the pink glass daffodils!
