In Bathroom Mode...

Hello hello....

It's been such a long time. This little blog of mine was on such a roll.... meaning I was consistent with my posts. Then... I fell pregnant, had horrible morning sickness, we did more renovations, had another baby and well...life was/is busier and this little blog went to the back burner.

I have decided I am going to work harder at posting more frequently. Posting what is relevant to me, things I like...basically all things life and style. It will be for me to look back on and maybe...just maybe...you will find it relevant and helpful too.

So...with that out of the way I turn to the issue at hand.... Our bathrooms and laundry.

It's the final stage of our renovations. Yippppeeeee!! It's going to be the messiest and the hardest seeing as I have two little people, it's the bathrooms and laundry and we're living through it.

Oh the decisions!!! It's our first bathroom and laundry reno so we're feeling a little cautious. We have a wonderful builder who we have worked with from day one with this house....now 2.5yrs ago (where does the time go!!) and N's family are seasoned renovators so are a wealth of knowledge and invaluable sounding boards. Even still, we find ourselves nervous that our selections may not work and may not hit the mark we are aiming for. I have been trawling the web and magazines for inspiration and I will share some of these in a future post. We think we are getting close to a decision and I have a meeting with the builder to go through them this week and identify any issues and make any changes needed (fingers crossed there are none)

I have worked up a little inspiration collage in Polyvore and thought I might share it...

As you can see the colour palate is very neutral with grey's and white. We are going for something that feels large, bright, fresh, classic and warm. Fingers crossed we are on the right track.

Thoughts and feelings you might want to share are more than welcome...

Coastal Vignette...

I had a lot of fun putting together a coastal vignette in our living room on top of the new cupboard to compliment the seaweed prints...

I'm looking forward to changing it up now and then and finding the right lamp/s to add some ambience into this corner.

Looking for one thing... and finding another...

Have you ever found yourself looking for one particular thing and finding another?...

Allow me to elaborate...

We have found the right pieces of furniture for either side of the fireplace in our living room. They are not what I originally thought we were going for and I love them even more than what I had planned...

I had pictured commodes there but I knew I needed to be careful about them looking too delicate for the space. So I had envisaged a long search to find the right ones...

When we were in the Southern Highlands a few weeks ago we were having a look around and found these... well actually, N found them and pointed them out. They were the perfect measurement and I loved that they are a cupboard rather than a commode. All of a sudden it made sense this was the style of furniture we should had been thinking of all along...doh!

I was hesitant about how distressed they were at first and worried it could be too much but once I got home I knew they would compliment the mirror nicely and therefore balance each other. I was still a little nervous though because until I get things into the space I'm never completely sure it will work.

When they arrived I was VERY relieved to see they suited the space and I'm happy with how they look...

I am now on the hunt for some baskets to go on the bottom shelf for storage. It will help hide some of H's toys on one side and provide handy storage for DVD's on the other (under the TV).

Have you ever thought you were looking for a certain piece of furniture and ended up with another?

Flowers and Haircuts on a Friday...

Happy Friday everyone. I hope you've had a great week. Haven't we been spoilt with the weather? I'm loving it!!

Any of you who read this blog regularly know how much I love having fresh flowers in the house. If you are new... I love fresh flowers!!... oh, and thanks for stopping by!!

I want to share with you some photos I took of the flowers in the house at the moment...

I love Ranunculus and Lavender. This bunch of Lavender went soooo far. I have little vases all over the house which just makes me grin from ear to ear! For me, flowers just brighten everything up.

Are you a fan of fresh flowers too?

H is having his first haircut tomorrow. I love his shaggy hair but it's falling in his eyes too much so it's time to get it cut. I hope to get some photos to show you next week. Fingers crossed he is ok about it and we all get through it in one piece!

Have a great weekend all and wherever you are I hope the weather is good to you.

Blue and White China prints...

As mentioned previously here, I bought some large blue and white china prints from Driftwood Interiors...

I had them framed and hung at the same time as the seaweed prints. They were originally going to be hung in the sunroom but once I saw them I knew I wanted to see them more often and that spot is quite hidden so we wouldn't see them very often.

Instead, they found a home at the top of our stairs. I knew I wanted something for that spot but wasn't sure what. When I took these up there to have a look, they were perfect. So there they now hang.

I'm thrilled I get to see these all the time and so is my husband (they are his favourite)...
