I did it! One week!

I drafted this last night, I made it a week! Let's see if I can do two! Haha!

(Using Project 365 App)

Photo a day!

I don't think I'm alone in taking thousands of pictures of my kids, they are just too cute. I use both my iPhone and DSLR and manipulate them using Instagram or sometimes others.

I have a free app on my iPhone, Project 365, that allows you to take photos every day, put in a description and save it as you go. I often start these projects with the best intentions - however the perfectionism sets in and I usually give up before I give it a go!

So I'm starting small. Goal is 1 week. Not just the kids, anything I'm grateful for.

Firstly, to kick start the project, our gorgeous man, Will. 

Let's see if I can do a week! I'll report back!

The Dining Table - Leg inspiration!

The dining table progress has picked up pace again, Adam delivered the wood to 'a wood man' (haha) who will trim the wood for building. Saving hours/days.

So Adam is waiting on my plans - the following pictures are my inspiration, each different.

The first is a study farmhouse kind of table.


The following two are french legs, I think ultimately, this is the way we will go.



And lastly, a tapered leg.


I quite like the above chairs but I think I'm dreaming with two small kids! I think I will stick with the original cross back design.

Fun times ahead!

French Corner (Newmarket)

French Corner isn't far from our home and is a real treasure trove of gorgeous things. Each day, they put a large selection of goods on the sidewalk as a taster for what's inside. Adam spotted a console table on his drive home, so I went to have a look in person after work.

This is another console table inside.


I adore the mirror on the console look. I plan on using a mirror in our dining room.


Doesn't it look stunning?!


This is the console table, just as beautiful in real life.

French and English (Fortitude Valley)

A friend with very similar taste to me recommended French and English to me - I hadn't heard of or seen it before. On a whim I took Mum and Madeline for a look. I could quite easily spend a small fortune if I had it!

Loving the monogrammed/embroidered cushions.


Loving these euro covers too.


Stunning bedhead and cushions for Master William when he gets older!


I love this cabinetry so much, it is possibly five times the price of the Recollections one. I also love the look of the contrasting table and chairs.


And this console table is to die for. Love it.


I better buy a lotto ticket! Haha!

Bedroom inspirations!

Just a couple of bedrooms I have been inspired by this week. Loving the classic nautical for William and a pop of colour for our master room.

I have also added feather European inserts to my 'to buy' list.


This week!

Hello!

I hope you are all going well, we have had a busy week - although I have managed to squeeze some shopping in!

Firstly a bit of window shopping at Recollections, I saw both the following buffet and cabinet. I am yet to post about our kitchen but the cabinet would be perfect on a blank wall we have.



Next up was Target and their home sale. I bought this 1mx1m canvas. Adam is yet to hang it but I think it suits nicely!


And a ceramic stool from the junk shop!


And lastly a small hall table from Kmart for $29. (Excuse the terrible photo!) Plenty of home bargains to be had around the place!
