Sebastian's Bed Before and After

Here are a couple of before and after photos of Sebastian's new bed. We purchased the bed on ebay for .99cents plus a can of paint for $30 and a lot of hard work from my husband. Sebastian is now very pleased with the result as you can see, his now loves looking out the window spying on the unsuspecting neighbour behind us.

My Favourite Neighbourhood House

On my neighbourhood walks I have always stopped and looked longingly at this house. It is now being renovated and the owners know exactly what they are doing, they are restoring it beautifully. I would give my right arm to have a walk through once it is finished so I am hoping they will sell it however it doesn't have the look about a property renovated to sell more like a property renovated with love.



My new Chandelier


I am always a sucker for a chandelier so when I spotted this one last weekend at the Auction house Raffan Kelahar and Thomas in Leichhardt with pink droplets I was hyperventilating in desire. We put it up this weekend and I am thrilled with the result. This is our entrance way into our terrace house so it is only a metre wide, now to find the perfect thin table so we can still get the stroller in and out.

Collette Dinnigan's Home

Collette Dinnigan has her beautiful Paddington Terrace for sale. What an exquisite property, I would love to have a look through it but I think my swooning might give me away as a fake buyer.

This is my favourite image, very peaceful, refined elegance.

Peaceful Interiors


I love this picture it is so peaceful and looks luxurious but comfortable.
Sorry I am not sure where I found this photo.

Sebastian's Stripes

Sebastian's room is coming along nicely, the bed we bought on ebay for .99cents looks amazing, and I love the stripes, Alan did a great job. I will post some before and after photos as both the wall and the bed with in a sorry state. Now I need to get the sewing machine out to add some finishing touches.
