A little white???........

Morning.......thought we'd have a little bit of white here today.......funny that........


I snapped these pics in our bedroom.......


Going for the messy look........all intentionally of course........?.........

  
Love a bit of black amongst all the white.........


And the green polka dot pj's are quite pretty too?...........


My inspiration board is always right near my bed.......


Flowers always brighten the room up too don't they.........I always often forget to put some in our room......but so much nicer when I do........


                                                                                 
Okay.....I'm off to paint, bake and run little people about.........


Wishing you a happy day........

Red and spotty.......

So.......having always loved a good polka dot spot here and there........

                                                                                   

imagine my excitement.......and yes.....there was excitement..........when I discovered these delicious-red-polka-dotted cake containers the other day.........

                                                                              
whilst pushing my trolley around the supermarket no less...............


Score!........


And that is my news for the day..........it's all happening here on the farm I tell you........

                                                                               

Happy Tuesday.........

A White Tray.........

Hey there.......and here's yet another week beginning.....must say I'm not sorry to see the tail end of last week......spending my days sick in bed really isn't my idea of a fun time........anyway.....onto a little painting project I amused myself with over the weekend..........


Actually this isn't really the project I was planning on sharing but I love the way it's ended up so...... here it is!........


This little piece started life as a rather plain looking timber tray.......that is until Mr WF wielded his magic carpentry skills (?) and added the extra partitions........a quick lick of paint......a little stencilling (I think this may have started a new obsession for me....sooooo much fun).......and here she is.....all made over and looking quite lovely I think.........


I plan to fill it all up with some other little projects I am currently working on.......more on that soon.......


And that is it from me today........wishing you a very Happy Monday..........

Friday Snaps........

Hey there.....I hope it's been a good week?......I've spent alot of the week either in bed or on the couch with a nasty nasty virus (and how difficult is that with 3 young children?!? Yes you may feel sorry for me if you wish.....)......feeling abit more alive today tho.....enough to share some quick snaps anyway.......

     
I"m about to toss these roses out.....past their used by date......but I felt the need to snap a pic of the beautiful colours first........


Very cute gift wrapping.........


Here's my lovely white freshly-washed couch......somewhere under there.........


And here's what the front of our house is looking like at the moment........love this time of year......


That's it from me.......hope you have a great weekend.........

And Happy Friday!.......

Randoms......

Hello there....I'm feeling a little bit under the weather today.....some virus I've picked up from some child somewhere no doubt......so just a few very random pics from around our place today......

                                                                                  
Always a ridiculous amount of washing to be done.....sick or not.......


My daughter's shell collection.......


A very small portion of my son's truck collection.......


And a little pink in the hallway.......


Short and sweet......have a great day......

A white table....

Hey there....and another week begins...... I'm very pleased to be able to share a few pics of my 'new' table.....which when I stumbled across it she was looking like this.......


But after a little bit of care and attention...and MANY coats of paint....she is now looking much prettier like this......

                                                                              
I love it now!....and I really love how a good clean up and a lick.... or 10.... of white paint can pretty much transform anything.......



Pretty flower pic.....for no other reason than it's.....pretty?......


So I'm pretty certain this new white addition to our family will spend it's days out on our back deck giving us a much needed spot to enjoy some summer meals.......she's just so clean and white and lovely at the moment.....I'm not ready for her to get dirty!!......


Okay....I'm on a roll now....... off to start cleaning up a couple of very crappy ancient bench seats I picked up for the fantastic price of $2 each......gotta love that.......



Have a Happy Monday........

Beige = Boring?.........

Well here we are again at the tail end of the week.....I hope you've had a good one??......thought we'd go with a heck-of-a-lot-of little beige today........


Do you like beige?......apparently I do......I seem to wear it alot......


I seem to like living amongst it......and seem to be continually adding more beigey accessories to our home......


I even enjoy drinking beige beveridges......from my beige cups........


And I like to keep my projects......which are very likely to be beige.......in my favourite beige bag......

                                                                                  
For some reason beige is often thought of as boring but really...... I think it has to be one of the most versatile colours going around........obviously I'm quite the fan........


Wishing you a fab Friday.......

White laundry.......

Okay....yesterday we were taking out the rubbish....today we're doing some laundry......


Stylish WHITE laundry that is.........


My lovely friend, who also shares a love of all things white, gave me this gorgeous laundry bag as a recent gift........


Trouble is.....it may be too lovely for my not-so-lovely laundry.......



I'm thinking it may do better in the bathroom......I am also playing with the idea of maybe transforming it into a cushion cover......it would fit in perfectly with the rest of my ever-growing family of cushions........and I figure I would get to see and admire it alot more on the couch in our loungeroom than I would in the laundry.....a place I try to avoid as much as possible.......



So....what do you think?......bag or cushion?.......laundry or bathroom?.........do you avoid your laundry at all cost?.......



Have a lovely Thursday......I'm of to.....do some.....laundry......
