A bit of colour

We've been looking for something to give the long family room wall a bit of zing, but our searching has turned up a big fat zero.

So my incredibly talented other half edited some photos from our Thailand trip of a few years ago and came up with this.  Officeworks printed it up on canvas, and Bob's your Uncle...

Which sits right here...

And the whole room looks like...

Might have to get Loz to work his magic on some more pics to fill the entire wall :)

A cushy job

I've been collecting green & brown cushions for a couple of years now (I know Janine - why was I having an orange splashback???) and they're all sitting happily on the family room couch.  It's not that big a collection, coz it's gotta be juuuust the right green.  You know??

10 bonus points to anyone who noticed "Ramsay" in that last collage.  He fair dinkum poses for the camera.  Complete dag of a dog :)

Bit of a fan of this room.  Just need (to agree on) some artwork for above the couch and fix my own artwork on the fireplace wall (that painting tape NEVER gives me a clean edge) and it's done!
I love living here :)

Getting to know you

We've been having a lovely time getting to know our house - it's light switches, how it lives, which windows to open when the wind blows a certain way.  It's been really fun :)

Our shutters were hung to the front windows on Saturday morning;

Dining and family rooms are coming together - just need some more "stuff";

Still tossing up whether to paint the master bedhead wall in Jasper or leave it as is;

Front and side gardens are done and we're tickled pink, blue and purple with the look;

When we started on this "ïdea"all those months ago, I never imagined that it would be this good :)

Somewhere to park our bums

The best thing (oh, well one of the best at least) about building a house that has more rooms than your old house is that you have to GO SHOPPING to fill the space.  I think I've posted before about how lucky I am to have a man that loves to house shop, and he completely dominated on this particular spree.

This is the display version of Oz Design's "Fraser".  We've chosen different pieces and a different fabric to better fit our room, but basically, this is it.  Apologies for the pics - although I love my iphone, the camera really does leave me wanting :)

 

In our choice of fabric - Beachcomber Taupe;

Thanks for being a hand-model Loz!

As you can see, we've gone neutral so we can add a bit of spice with cushions and throws (coz I'm a chicken!)

Getting impatient now :) :) :) :)
