Lounge Room Ispiration

Ok, so I've decided to give my lounge room a bit of an overhaul! 


First thing is to get rid of the mat that has become a little bit ratty, and of course make some new cushions for the couches! Also there will be some furniture re-arrangement...... I will take before and after photos and post in the next couple of weeks.


In the mean time here are some inspiration pics.....

Grey.....Important colour for the room- Thinking "grey" mat!!!


Love the bright and bold prints


White....Calming....



Dream lounge! Lol....

Dreamy Whites...





 I found these Oh So! Dreamy images on a lovely blog- www.dreamywhites.blogspot.com, I think you'll agree they're rather gorgeous.....

























Our Garden...

Sunday was a beautiful day..... So we were finally able to get back in the garden! Because of our renovations, our garden became almost non existent! All we had left was our lovely tree, two roses and some agapanthus!

A few weeks prior, my lovely hubby built a raised veggie/fruit patch, and prepared the new flower garden, with a little help from myself and our daughters. We also bought some plants, and then just waited as it rained for a couple of weeks!!

So finally we have some lovely plants in the flower garden- including a Camellia, Daisies, Geraniums and Violets. I have ordered four roses and I can't wait to plant them when they arrive! We also planted some strawberry plants, a raspberry plant,  lots of leeks, a blueberry plant, a couple of lettuces and some carrots in the veggie/fruit patch. 

 I have ordered a Ballerina Apple which I'm going to plant in a large pot, and put on our lovely sunny deck(which doesn't quite exist yet, lol), and I'm also looking for a dwarf lemon tree to do the same with. 

So all in all, it was quite a perfect Sunday, even our Rabbit 'Flopsy' was out to enjoy the new garden!!
