Well it’s official, I have decided, that quite often life just simply fly’s by, often without us ever quite knowing where or what has actually happened. Which per chance is how I have ended up flat out on the couch today with a bad case of fatigue! So where better to pickup than with my NEW bathroom, well by new I mean almost complete, and I am so excited! I cant wait for all the plumbing to be connected up so we finally knock out our atrociously small and dark old bathroom! Hallelujah!

On Wednesday we lost someone very dear to our heart Craig’s Grandmother Regina, and today we remembered her for the gorgeous, kind hearted, warm and sweet lady that she was. We will miss her dearly, and our days will not be as light and warm as we have known them to be. However from all this we can take great comfort in the fact that she lived a rich and full life and that I had the honour of being a part of her life for the past 5 years.
After speaking to my own grandmother when we got home, who explained to me that often the circle of life presents itself in such ways that you have to look at the things immediately in front of you, and that there is a symbolic phrase that could apply to us at this point “a wedding, a funeral & then a birth”. My grandma then indicated that perhaps I would be lucky enough to be pregnant by the end of the year… I was a little shocked to say the least! And as I explained to my dear grandma, “but I really need to renovate our bathroom first, and redo our back and front yards, and finish painting, and save more money, etc!” All she could proclaim was that my renovation will only take a month or so and that I can always continue to work on everything else, which will leave me plenty of time!!!
I guess there was another lesson learned, don’t talk about the deeper aspects of life with ones grandmother who is a) terribly proud that one of her 6 grandchildren has managed to get married, and b) will always be the one person I can guarantee to have those slightly awkward off hand conversations with! Which nearly always results in you finishing the conversation with so… hows the weather been?
Always remember, life can be tough, but often we just have to conquer what is in front of us to succeed…

There’s a certain lightness that you get in summer, it must be something about the longer days, glorious sunshine and quite possibly the fact that you want to spend everywaking moment outdoors! These are just some of the fabulous products that I have found… But already I feel the sun shining!

Hi all,
Yes i’ve been a little busy lately, well when I say little extreemly busy is more like it! I dont think I have ever known Craig and I to never not have a project or goal of some sort! We are always raising the bar and willing ourselves to achieve more, which I guess is part of why we work so well! Well enough in fact to get married!
Here’s a little sneak peak of my wedding day…

Now ever since I first saw this entertainment unit in Belle Magazine about a year ago I have been in love, there is something sincerely beautiful, fun and quirky about this piece. I am just so glad Jardan have finally released some images. I would love one of these beauty’s in my living room as I think it is the perfect blend of old and new, and the rattan front is simply the icing on the cake!

I am confident that Raj will be the next addition to our dining room, we are hoping to get a gorgeous black version, which I think will add some drama to our dining room, team this with some gorgeous wallpaper… I am still on my blue & white theme… and a round white dining table, our existing gorgeous smoke grey ghost chairs, and voila! So meet Raj everyone, as i’m sure you will all become very familiar with Raj over the next year or so…

Now for those of you that know Craig & I we are very much the worlds worst decision makers, and are notorious for taking our time with absolutely EVERYTHING! The benefit of this is that we very rarely make a decision that has us second guessing ourselves. This is not the case for our honeymoon! We have been super busy and very diligent what with booking flights and our first few nights of accommodation in Bangkok, however now we are faced with the monstrous decision of “Which Beach?” Thailand it seems has many, many beautiful beaches, all of which boast fabulous resort after fabulous resort, which is proving to be rather difficult as we are now swamped with choices, and are whittling them down one by one! Now if anyone has any thoughts of 1st hand knowledge on Thailand, now is the time to fill us in!

Now coral is one of those colours that appeals to me on so many levels. Simply put I LOVE it! Now I have fallen head over heels in love with a China Seas fabric (Nomad) in the salmon colourway and am counting the days until I can afford to buy some of this BEAUTIFUL fabric for our bedroom cushions! It is the right combination of zeal and punch that will lift our bedroom, and look they are even using this as a table runner! Now that is one sure way to spice up a beautifully set dinner table!
