bedroom inspiration

Another bedroom from Country Living. The green is lovely but the size of the branch is what really caught my eye.

bedroom inspiration

Over at Country Living there are a fair few bedrooms and some of them with things you may not have seen done before. Im going to share the ones that caught my eye with you over the next few days when I have nothing else to offer, (Im hoping to catch up on some housework) like this one above with multiple artworks hanging over the bed.

 I loved the feel that this evokes of a gallery. Country scenes like these are fairly easy to source at op-shops and they look wonderful hung in a group like this, in all their mis-matched glory, dont you think?

I havent got much to say today other than its hot and we spent the morning tidying the yard and stacking the new/old shed from this lovely lady full of stuff that we probably should be selling off or its going to sit there for 3-5 years.

Reading my emails I stumbled upon some more bedroom inspiration so I guess I have a theme going. This is a boys room from Ohdeedoh. Yes, you read correctly. B. O. Y .S

Complete with a patchwork quilt and a kind of surf thing going on judging by the colours. Love this! and Ill be showing my guys tonight to see if they approve.

Also I found this really groovy look from Country Living.

This look could be boyish too.

I think Ill post more when I have been busy doing things that are too boring to mention.

Yes...yes I will.

my creative space

Im tired of lifting things so ive been decluttering and placing some things in nice spots around the new abode.
I never ended up tackling the washing pile as promised either. Had a nice cold beer instead. Its been 2 days now I have more to do and cant because the washing machine isnt leveled yet and the level is back at the old place. Tried the water level thing and gave up cos one adjustable leg is rusted into the highest position. Getting back to reality is gonna take me a few more days yet. Its funny that when you cant do the normal things that that is exactly what you want to do.
Ive filled 2 boxes full of stuff so far. Its a great way to feel good instantly, isnt it? Ill sleep well tonight. Thought id take some shots for the sake of progress.

Im off to take some furniture to a girlfriend in need and dismantle her shed (its free).

Were gonna need it to store all those things that I cant quite part with yet.

Be sure to check out what others have been up to this week over at Kootoyoo.

my place and yours, kitchen love

The theme for this weeks my place and yours is kitchen love chosen by Tracey and Nic. Im playing along but im not quite ready for a full length of the kitchen as one end still has unpacked boxes.

I dont like yellow at all so im calling the colour of my benchtops 'pale pumpkin'.

 It happens to be one of my favourite foods.

 Dishes have had to be done and I do really love the smallish humble sink that urges you onward to perform the thrice daily ritual.
I love having a window to look out from.

I dont really 'love' this whole kitchen yet, but the knife rack is wonderful. We had one at our old place in the country and have missed it. The spot to put all my spices is very deep and I hope to add a few more bottles that I have had hidden away in a cupboard.

This is a nice place next to the stove in one of those old fireplace surrounds and our dairy baskets fit perfectly under the bench.

 Better get back to unpacking some more boxes methinks.

I wonder what the theme will be next week?
