Do I get the prize for the world's words blogger?

WOW! It really has been a while since I blogged. I think that I must be the world's worst blogger!!! Where to begin. We have been keeping ourselves quite busy with the removations of our homw over the past 9 months. We are almost complete and are looking forward to having a party to celebrate next weekend. I have not photographed the main parts yet, however I do have some photos of our bedroom makeover. I am really happy with the results.


So here are the walls all freshly painted the teal is the feature wall and all the other walls are black. I just love it! When I first suggested black walls Nathan was a little unsure so we painted our feature wall first. Once he saw the teal on the wall he was sold on the idea of black paint and so went back to the paint shop to get the required black paint. When he came home with a 12L tin of black paint I was slightly shocked. Believe me our bedroom is not that big and so neadless to say we now have quite a bit of black paint left over. Black paint anyone???

So here is my new bedwear. At first I had something quite different to this in mind, however Nathan was not at all kean. I am really glad now that he said no to the other one though cause I really do love the one we found that we were both happy with. So now I just need to get my hanyman and the hammer in the same room at the same time so I can get the walls decorated.

In scrapping news I have been pretty MOJO less lately. But last week the Embellished Idol 2009 competition started and so that has got me scrapping again. Week 1 - Ali gave us a picture to use as inspiration. So what started as a layout became a framed quote. I am really happy with the outcome. I had just that week finished hanging our new panel glides and the pelmets that Nathan and dad made and so I used off cuts of both of these products in my layout. This is one of the many black frames that is going to form one of my features of my, soon to be finished, lounge room.



I have completed my week 2 but will upload it later after it is photographed. I also get in and did some other layouts this week. I will have to share them next time. We are finishing off the painting over the weekend and so once that is done I will post photos of my new lounge, dining and kitchen!!
