we have moved!!!!! + a sneek peek @ our new rental

we have moved.........few drama's along the way, but we are here now {mornington} and am totally enjoying being just around the corner from the beach

yesterday we attended the mornington festival, then lunch at box station, then a lovely stroll along the beach.......a day off unpacking YAY!!!!!!
we had to sell a few things before the move as the rental house we have moved into is a little smaller than what we have been accustomed to.........it's such a refreshing feeling getting rid of some stuff
here is a sneek peek of a little nook in our new little rental.........

what do you think of my new chair?????? i love it and it is so so comfy, as some of you know our house we built had a few chandeliers and moving into a rental where you can't really change lights around why not buy a chandelier lamp so i can move it and take it wherever i go........
i've missed you all and will be looking at all your lovely blogs to catch up on what's been happening feel a little out of the loop....hope you all had a wonderful weekend

diy buffet

i have been searching for a buffet to use as a tv unit for quite sometime, and all the ones i loved and watched would all go for about $580 or higher, my budget was $200 i thought if i was going to spend around $600 then i may as well go brand new.........just over a week ago i found this buy now for $150 it didn't look solid timber and for that price no it was only veneer but it was the shape i wanted and i loved the mustard glass {of course} so we thought lets paint it, it took us 4 days all up maybe 2hrs.......this isn't a good photo i took it from my ebay account {forgot to take some before shots}

so we painted it black {shock i know as i love everything white, but when you have big black speakers that are a wee bit of an isore but they are hubbs the options are go black} and i love it, the shelves we wrapped in left over wallpaper

the two end drawers are covered in wallpaper also but the middle one i thought i'd do it a little different and used some left over flocked paper

this photo below is the ikea cabinet we had been using for the past 5 years, which will be going in zeke's room..........don't the speakers look a wee bit funny????

from this

to this..............the finished result I LOVE IT and all up it cost me $200 including paint, and with loads of storage for remotes {don't like them lying around} dvd's, cd's.........what do you think?????

madeit find : + a wee bit of pretty

today on madeit i came across these very cute handmade vintage floral trimming from atelier in paris 

it can be used for home decor, craft projects, collage, glass jar wraps, quilting, journals and so so much more.....this fabric is from the 70's.....so so pretty
and a few other pretty things

a few random pictures that made me smile today, have a great weekend.....
and i hope you all get to relax a little bit
