Right Now

Living Room Makeover

Hello everyone! Some of you already know this... but our house has sold! We have been talking, thinking and praying about this for a couple of years now. It went unconditional a few weeks ago and we have till the end of January to find a new place. We have a couple of options but nothing concrete. Anyway I know I said I would share some of my living room projects with you all, but I just can't right now, so please forgive me for this! I will however show you the photos... I think you've waited long enough... heehee - I've waited long enough for it to actually look like this! And now we have to move! Crazy I know, but I'm confident I can re-create the look else where and better.

So here are the before pics - 

and a really terrible view from the other corner, I took a blurry photo then sharpend it like mad - sorry about that, not sure why I settled for that, but you get the idea anyway.

What I love most about this makeover is the gallery wall. I wanted to find away to make that wood-burner less in your face, so I bought or painted frames in black and created a gallery of memories and special collected pieces. I love it so So much!

It will be sad to say goodbye to this space.

Kitchen Makeover + Giveaway!

Thought I'd show you what my kitchen looks like. I don't have many or decent before photos. Only what I have below. We only put a wall up to block off the entrance and left everything as it was when we moved in.

It was in pretty good condition already the kitchen, as you can see -
This picture was taken through the entrance when it used to exist. Checkout the after photo now!
So as you can see, not many changes, except the wall, the stunning teal accent colour and my floors have been freshly mopped... I think!

Some Hybrid Scrapbooking + Update on Living Room Makeover

Hello hello! Hope you are all well! I'm so happy its Friday!

I have a date with the swiss ball in an hour and a half, after that its a prawn and avocado wrap... my mouth keeps watering every time I think about it! Anyway I just wanted to share a couple of things before I go batter my body up.

The makeover in my living room is almost complete. I just wanted to share a sneak peek with you all, because there are a few items I want to alter in the room before sharing the view.

For the next month or so I plan to share my projects with step by step instructions. I hope you stick around, I think it will be fun! Items include my magazine box, a huge piece of art to go above the dining table, some small pieces for the wall, a couple of cushions, etc. I'll even include some free prints to download!

Time to show you some hybrid scrapbooking -
