Bar Open

Oh, where to start! There is so much going on in my head 'house-wise' at the moment, that I barely know where to begin.

Ok - dining area! All along, I have loved the Scandinavian aesthetic - hence the white on white on white!

Then, I found elements of this look didn't work so well in this house...since I don't live in a Scadinavian country, but instead in Melbourne, Australia! So I painted the dining room grey.But it still didn't feel right. We bought a new light...which we LOVED, but the rest of the room just felt bland. I have been playing with the house quite a bit over the last few days, instroducing some more 'neutrals', and lighter wood tones (a whole nother post!), and wanted to incorporate a little bamboo table my husband rescued when his parents cleaned out their office.

I had been intending to paint it, probably black (I am also introducing black...and loving it!) but I decided to leave in its natural bamboo finish for now. I added a few things we had around the house...and some that were still in a box, waiting for a home, from when we moved(!!!!), and now we have a little bar in the corner of our dining nook. You can also see our new light at the top there - it's retro style works really well with our bar. I just need to hang the print that is resting - it was a limited edition Dinosaur Designs one that came with Inside Out (I think!) a few years back, and I have never had a place for it. And now I do!

Boo..and YAY!

So, the kitchen designer cancelled. Because we have to change some walls around, they won't come until its done. So, the solution to that is...get it done! Hopefully next week! YAY! Very exciting.

And in my disapointment, I decided to buy some are for the walls. This Etsy seller had a fabulous 2 for 1 offer (its closes today, get them while you can!), and I purchased this print





which is unfortunately no longer available, and this one which can be purchased here.

I have been a fan of Annechovie's work for quite some time, so I was thrilled to finally get some of my very own! Hopefully our postie doesn't try and fold these in half, which he does with everything else!
