Leadlight

Here is a sneak peek at the leadlight which is being made to replace the atrocity which is currently installed in our loungeroom window (see earlier post) - can't wait.

Weatherboard houses - inspiration

Our house is a 1927 weatherboard with a green corrugated iron roof and is painted in at least 3 varying shades of yukky beigey yellow. We are planning a major renovation in the next 1-2 years and I hope it will include a new roof - I think something neutral like a pale grey so I can have a completely new colour scheme along with some super cute picket fence. It is hard to do much with Brunswick Green coloured roof. I am collecting photos of desirable schemes on weatherboard houses.

Love this baroque colourful chest of drawers - how stunning! See it at http://www.misstinguett-collections.com/Shop/index.php

Bathroom inspiration

We are hoping to renovate our house in the next year or so and part of the plan is to extend our tiny bathroom. I want a freestanding shower and bath instead of the combination which we have now - I hate climbing into a shower and our bath is way too small - good for two small children but not quite big enough for me. So I am downloading some inspiration - I have always loved claw footed baths but am not really certain (my partner hates them) but maybe I might go with something more modern. I like the idea of some wallpaper in the bathroom like the photo above. Minimalism is good with some quirkiness. Pictures above are via apartmenttherapy homebug

Leadlight restoration project

One of the things on myto do list is to replace the leadlight in this window in our loungeroom. The frame is in almost new condition but the pattern and vile colours has to go. I am looking at some nice geometric art deco patterns with not too much colour - a bit of blue, yellow and pink.

Knitted and funky

Love these knitwear furnishings. Cuckooclock from http://andreawilliamson.com.uk and handknitted pouffe from http://burford.com.uk
