Master Bedroom Progress


Bed is in, wall art is up, just the wallpaper and feature wall paint to go.

Dare Gallery Delivers


I lost track of time working on the driveway and to my surprise the long awaited office chair arrived. Swapping the white vase and chair to these locations worked better for me then their original locations which was the reverse of what you see. Moral of the story don't be afraid to swap things around and see how the look.

The Driveway...It's Done!


Here it is after 10 days of solid work put in by myself and the guys from Eden Earthworks. It's over budget by at least 50% and nearly killed me...I selected and trimmed every piece of slate that you see. Would I do it again? Short answer...NO. Why? Cost as mentioned, freaked out council inspectors and the worry is it strong enough? It does have advantages....it looks great, lot's of very positive comments and it can be repaired if a part becomes damaged.

Office Wallpaper Hung



I'm still getting used to this! My first thought was I has pushed the envelope too much. When I get the furniture back in and our chair arrives from Dare Gallery I'm sure it will all come together. As a side note Dare Gallery rang to tell me the chair won't be here until early October...grrrr...doesn't anybody keep stock these days?

Designer Cat Bowl



Once again proof we are getting ripped off by greedy importers....I did a price search in Australia on this bowl, well the grey one anyhow as the black one pictured isn't imported into Australia...the price $129 everywhere. No one was breaking ranks and discounting. Google time! Result $83 landed to my door from the UK.

Dining Room Nears Completion



We made some good progress today with the Zebra picture finally making it on the wall, the Innermost Tie pendant light also getting fitted. Now that the master bedroom floor is complete I was able to extradite the bedroom Tallboy out of the dining room giving me access to doing the work above and finishing the lighting for the niche. We may paint the wall behind the picture somewhere down the track but this will do for now. I'm really liking what we have achieved with this room and hopefully all the other rooms will come together as well.

Master Bedroom Floor Completed



This was a long time coming due to various reasons but it's done now and we can move on to completing the master bedroom now. The wall art sitting on the rug is to go behind the bedhead after the wall paper has been applied.
