Some more photos...

 
Took some photos for a beautiful little family last weekend. I know the Mama through work.
 
 
Snapped these on my iPhone, a beautiful afternoon at New Farm Park with our Nanny Gold Coast.
 
I'm hoping to do a cake smash with Will over this long weekend.

Bunnings lighting!

 
I was in Bunnings getting a fiddle-leaf fig and decided to have a wander while I had some time (and a compliant baby haha!) I was surprised to find a decent chandelier - maybe dining room?
 
 
Or these crystal spheres?
 
 
Love these glass bells. I'm re-thinking my kitchen lights. Just need to hang them all so it is done!
 
 
And also love these spheres for the bathrooms.
 
 
Bunnings huh. Who woulda' thunkit.

This week...

 
Earthborn were having a sale this week, 50% off. I picked up this cabinet (originally $600) for less than 50% at $150!
 
 
The blue and white pot looks stunning with lilies! And one of my favourite pictures of MK and I.
 
 
I went to the Magnolia sale and bought some Schumacher Trelllis off cuts for $4. Mum is going to sew it into a runner for me for the little cabinet above. Gosh I would love to buy it to make roman blinds for the front room.
 
 
My first issue of House Beautiful arrived - a subscription from my in-laws. A chair sporting a practice cover and a new fiddle-leaf fig from Bunnings.
 
 
Bed looking comfy - picture still to be framed!

Cross Bench

 
Sooo, I was on instagram again and stumbled across a lady whose husband had made a cross bench to be adorned with fabric etc. for her bedroom.
 
And I thought - ADAM COULD DO THAT! Haha!
 
I have seen the benches quite frequently on Pinterest but to buy one locally or to import one, the costs are ludicrous. So I asked Adam, he said it would be easy - he just needs time. (Don't we all).
 
I had a quick look on Pinterest and found some good examples:
 
A longer studded one:
 
A shorter studded one:

Now just to find him some of that time...
