Our nursery for Evie

In june last year we were asked by our beautiful friend and neighbour Kristie if we would create a shabby nursery for her baby girl who was due in september.We were so excited we jumped straight on ebay in search of vintage nursery pieces.We were fortunate in finding a lovely old children's wardrobe as well as a pretty little side cupboard.All we had to do was add some precious embellishments, a fresh coat of mill flour paint, finished off with glass knobs.After a futile search for dainty fabrics for some custom bunting flags, pretty window coverings etc we ended up mostly using bits and pieces of our own collection.Starting with a completely empty room we began by painting the room to picture rail height in a lovely colour called  

"Old Rose".

Beautiful bow embellishments found on ebay USA

 Painted gold frames white along with wooden letters, added pretty fabric and trim and then placed above cot

Every little girl needs a chandelier in her room

 Found soft shabby linens at baby bunting, along with new comforter from ebay

 Nearly completed just need the new wood flooring laid

A gorgeous shabby nursery fit for a princess!!!!

Leanne's kitchen collections

I would have to say, that of all the things i collect most pretties end up in and around my kitchen. This is quite possibly because this is where i spend most of my time!My favorite buffet is rather plain but very dear to me as it belonged to my nanna.I simply painted it with my favorite colour for furniture mill flour, added some glass knobs, and dressed it with vintage china, glassware and treasured collectables.When my dining table is not being used for my kids creations, i love nothing more than to dress it up, sit down, enjoy a cup of coffee with Kelly and flick through our favourite books and magazines looking for idea's and inspiration.

Kelly's sewing corner

After this room being used for kids toys and general clutter, I have now, after admiring mariondee's sewing space along with some American bloggers, transformed it into my own little sewing nook! This has been a very exciting project. The focal point is my fabulous retro kitchen piece, an ebay bargain and one of my favorite bits of furniture! Other pieces were collected from Mornington, on one of Leanne and my treasure hunting day trips. While I am still a learner in the sewing department (other than lots and lots of sequining and beading  for 3 dancing girls) its my favourite place to sit and create.
