I admit, I totally lost interest in blogging and even decorating over the last couple of years. They have been hard.
<br />Recently though, I have started to feel a little more inspired, especially after watching "The Block" and "Selling Houses Australia."
<br />I got my Diploma of Accounting in July and am doing some work with a bookkeeping agency.

<br />I saw this on another blog recently. You can buy this phone off the internet but I'm not sure if it will work in Australia (it is from the US.)

A lot has changed in my life since my last post.<br />The job that got me out of retail was a total dud. It was presented as a bookkeeping position but was in fact just data entry. I have never been so bored in my life!<br />I am not doing any bookkeeping work now, just the furniture shop.

My news - I finally got a permanent bookkeeping position so I am out of retail! I have told my boss at the furniture shop I am happy to work casually because I want to keep the discount!

The shelves are above the oven and hotplate. Note the range hood. All the appliances are a delightful shade of brown. I will definitely replace these some day when funds allow. <br />I have tried to keep with a blue/white/silver palette. The only colour is in the food in the jars.

Doh! <br />I am ashamed to say that I probably have at least six more boxes to unpack, and I have no idea what is in them. Hopefully, the SD reader!<br />So in the mean time I have some eye candy for you to look at. I am not thrilled with the kitchen here. The bench tops are a weird teal colour and then boring cream laminate cupboards with no knobs! Gotta have a few knobs to brighten things up LOL!<br />I have been saving these pictures for ideas.<br />There was a lady who commented on my last post about where to buy shabby chic. I can't afford the shabby chic homewares and furniture stores myself but three lovely ones are Chandelabra in Subiaco and Trilogy and Veranda in Claremont. <br />Most of my stuff has been bought from the following places;Early Settler & Recollections in Innaloo, Ikea, Freedom Furniture, Target, eBay, etsy, and many, many op shops and swap meets. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/S8ba1-oyvsI/AAAAAAAADSQ/-AFHPFK4RkE/s1600/sweet-indulgences-l.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/S8ba1-oyvsI/AAAAAAAADSQ/-AFHPFK4RkE/s400/sweet-indulgences-l.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460292219115323074" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/S8ba1tAwxHI/AAAAAAAADSI/xE6tPTHZSNk/s1600/knob.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/S8ba1tAwxHI/AAAAAAAADSI/xE6tPTHZSNk/s400/knob.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460292214384018546" /></a><br />I bought this for the pantry door in the kitchen to bling things up.

Recollections had some ok ones with lever handles but the chrome is discontinued. <br />The one above is from ebay. It comes from China so I am little dubious but am willing to take a punt for less than $100.<br />The flush light fitting bellow is from "Beacon." I would love this in the kitchen.

For a lot less than what we wanted but we were desperate to get out of the ghetto we were living in. It took three months for the settlement to go through!<br />We moved into a gorgeous house by the beach. It has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and three living areas! Lots of rooms to decorate!<br />Most of the house had been freshly painted and we kept the majority of it in the same sandy colour (very beachy.) <br />They had done some feature walls in very dark colours. Deep burgundys and purples.<br />It made the house look very dark so we repainted all of them a very pale blue.<br />I haven't taken any photos of the house. I want to do that when it is "resolved".<br />I have nearly completed one room and hope to show it on here soon.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/S08mQzfYbGI/AAAAAAAADQI/GHHi7spPvM0/s1600-h/livingroom1-de.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 313px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/S08mQzfYbGI/AAAAAAAADQI/GHHi7spPvM0/s400/livingroom1-de.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426598146146331746" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/S08mQp0TknI/AAAAAAAADQA/AbKPoE3BfVQ/s1600-h/idea-cottage-living-room-l.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/S08mQp0TknI/AAAAAAAADQA/AbKPoE3BfVQ/s400/idea-cottage-living-room-l.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426598143549739634" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/S08mPycb6yI/AAAAAAAADP4/Vk_Iic7II90/s1600-h/hworksucks.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 293px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/S08mPycb6yI/AAAAAAAADP4/Vk_Iic7II90/s400/hworksucks.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426598128685673250" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/S08mPitpanI/AAAAAAAADPw/VVIvYA2kGx0/s1600-h/8732_172699581632_607401632_2856487_5207856_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/S08mPitpanI/AAAAAAAADPw/VVIvYA2kGx0/s400/8732_172699581632_607401632_2856487_5207856_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426598124462893682" /></a><br />Below is our new family member.

Tom ran away about a week after we first moved in. He was a very territorial cat and didn't like being moved from his kingdom.

I was toying with the idea of having a glass door to the pantry and show off lots of pretty jars and canisters but I don't think it would stay pretty with a husband and two young kids!<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/Sm_bp1P5HkI/AAAAAAAADPI/lWifHzhwEw0/s1600-h/bathroom.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 316px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/Sm_bp1P5HkI/AAAAAAAADPI/lWifHzhwEw0/s400/bathroom.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363747192936406594" /></a><br />I have a pale blue chest on order which is very much like this one.

It is stainless steel and shows every finger mark. There is not much out there in the microwave world that makes me excited. All these pictures are for ones available overseas.

He has always caught vermin but now all of a sudden, he wants my approval!<br />He wails extremely loudly until I come outside to see his latest "catch". Usually a poor little mouse that Tom manages to actually flatten.<br />I pat him and tell him that he is a good boy (gag!) and that seems to make him happy. Today he swallowed his catch in three bites. The grossest bit was watching the little mouse legs vanish down his throat. I had to turn away!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/ShtRQdVUbUI/AAAAAAAADNY/8gV_RFU4KcE/s1600-h/robot.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/ShtRQdVUbUI/AAAAAAAADNY/8gV_RFU4KcE/s400/robot.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339951126371659074" /></a><br />I have been window shopping on etsy a lot lately. I have a thing for silhouettes and this one is so quirky! <br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/ShtRQi-DucI/AAAAAAAADNo/StMolfDqxuU/s1600-h/shellmirror.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 298px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/ShtRQi-DucI/AAAAAAAADNo/StMolfDqxuU/s400/shellmirror.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339951127884708290" /></a><br />This is a project I really want to do. I am guessing it will take a TON of shells. I have found the mirror I want to use. It is a lot larger than this one and is shaped like an arched window.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/ShtRQpAvItI/AAAAAAAADNg/2eaauFv1Sxs/s1600-h/kitchand.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 351px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/ShtRQpAvItI/AAAAAAAADNg/2eaauFv1Sxs/s400/kitchand.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339951129506554578" /></a><br />Another project I want to do. I have this same chandelier. I have bought a whole bunch of aqua glass drops from Ikea, believe it or not. They were only $2.95 for a packet of 5. I also want to hang it over a chopping block like in this picture.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/SgD3HVi5EYI/AAAAAAAADNQ/8mio0SwxIZc/s1600-h/laundry.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 314px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332533664221303170" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/SgD3HVi5EYI/AAAAAAAADNQ/8mio0SwxIZc/s400/laundry.jpg" /></a><br />Been tidying up for selling this place.

With some touches of pink, of course!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/ShtSmuEQdhI/AAAAAAAADN4/AqEcz0C-sMY/s1600-h/pinksink.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/ShtSmuEQdhI/AAAAAAAADN4/AqEcz0C-sMY/s400/pinksink.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339952608332248594" /></a><br />I love these old 1950's pink sinks!

I was a bit concerned as the banks aren't lending as much as they used to.<br />I listed our place on ebay today. If that doesn't work I am going to try Domain. I will be damned if I am going to give a real estate agent $8000 for selling this place.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/SeXdstaW_pI/AAAAAAAADNI/VU-9kZYhJJA/s1600-h/the+right+blue.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 313px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/SeXdstaW_pI/AAAAAAAADNI/VU-9kZYhJJA/s400/the+right+blue.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324905894609616530" /></a><br />I found the most gorgeous place today, in our price range too! The kitchen above has the exact shade of blue I want for my new kitchen. What I am hankering for is a blue chandelier to hang over the kitchen sink!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/SeXdsqByLHI/AAAAAAAADNA/KaicgGJ8p3c/s1600-h/bluefridge.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/SeXdsqByLHI/AAAAAAAADNA/KaicgGJ8p3c/s400/bluefridge.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324905893701233778" /></a><br />And I would LOVE this blue fridge and dishwasher but they are American and not available here.

I just adore the scrolly shelf brackets on these. And love how this has been kept to a limited colour palette.

We are all sorting out our finance now. I can tell you one thing, the banks are definitely not lending as much. I have been shocked with the amounts I have been quoted. Some are 40 percent less than what they would lend us a year ago! Nothing has changed with our financial situation, we are actually earning more. Hopefully we can get the amount we need!<br />I have been trusting in a higher power that things will go our way so I have been tossing out heaps of stuff!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/Sdyi3o4VCZI/AAAAAAAADLw/7YfNi02DgBM/s1600-h/rosejug.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 380px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/Sdyi3o4VCZI/AAAAAAAADLw/7YfNi02DgBM/s400/rosejug.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322307936395266450" /></a><br />The local thrift shops have done well out of me!<br />Some things I have sold on ebay.

Thankfully I don't have four jobs anymore, just two! I do spend three days a week at least at my job at the furniture shop. The pay sucks, we don't get commission and the customers are nasty. There is only one reason that I haven't moved on - STAFF DISCOUNT.<br />It is brilliant. Usually around 50 percent off most items. I have been slowly swapping my living room over to a more grown up theme. I am going for a blue and silver scheme with a bit of pink sneakily added :)<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/SLv7fkcscNI/AAAAAAAACJ4/FQfA23z0oBk/s1600-h/bc1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/SLv7fkcscNI/AAAAAAAACJ4/FQfA23z0oBk/s400/bc1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241059111154249938" /></a><br />Recycled pine bookcase from work with some blue milk glass and silver bits I have scrounged from thrift shops.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/SLv7f7rcmCI/AAAAAAAACKA/LGrv0-8TLVU/s1600-h/lroom.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/SLv7f7rcmCI/AAAAAAAACKA/LGrv0-8TLVU/s400/lroom.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241059117390141474" /></a><br /><br />The room has had blue curtains and cushions added since this photo was taken. I am painting the green wall pearlescent blue on the weekend. All I will need then is a new floor rug.<br />The TV cabinet and coffee table are my new "grown up" pieces of furniture from work.<br /><br />I have also listed on eBay.

Mainly because the girls that run Sweet Goodness were some of my first blog buddies, and it seemed to follow a similar inspiration to my Marie Antoinette living room (see post "Living Room inspired by Marie Antoinette.")<br /><br />Here were the rules.<br />Colors: Pale blue/teal/aqua, white and black<br /><br />Theme: Must include at least one item that is French-inspired. Examples, something must say France or Paris, or include an Eiffel tower or the fleur de lis. Be creative! If you are signing up for this swap you most likely have some French-inspired ideas already rolling around in your head!<br /><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/SCkPD6k1izI/AAAAAAAACEE/diibz0UUJLo/s1600-h/linda.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/SCkPD6k1izI/AAAAAAAACEE/diibz0UUJLo/s400/linda.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199703804713732914" /></a><br />Here is the gorgeous parcel I got from <a href="http://www.raspberryroses.blogspot.com/">Linda.</a><br />The gingham box, rose decorations and vintage cards are just divine.

We are still looking for out next home but that hasn't stopped me from planning how every room is going to look! This room, my office-parlour-studio, is inspired by the the fabulous wife of President Eisenhower, Mamie. Mamie Eisenhower was the first lady from 1953 to 1961 and pink was Mamie’s favorite color. She wore a pink gown with 2,000 pink rhinestones to Ike’s inauguration (she is pictured in this dress above.) Ike sent her pink flowers every morning (very well trained hubby.) Her bathroom in Gettysburg was pink down to the cotton balls. She re-decorated the private quarters in the White House in pink. So much so that reporters called it the “Pink Palace.” I have been unable to find any pictures of Mamie's decorating. Pink down to the cotton balls would be fabulous to see! Seeing as this room will be for me, I am going to town with the colour pink! </div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/SANxiS5u7WI/AAAAAAAAB-Y/Y6ycpaPy84g/s1600-h/ckwall.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189116029664423266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/SANxiS5u7WI/AAAAAAAAB-Y/Y6ycpaPy84g/s400/ckwall.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/SATMFC5u7zI/AAAAAAAACCA/ZksCW9PIhEE/s1600-h/paint.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189497057688088370" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_F17FDmjpCsk/SATMFC5u7zI/AAAAAAAACCA/ZksCW9PIhEE/s400/paint.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /> Pretty shade of pink paint by Dulux called "Fairy Wings."

You can buy computer chair bases seperately from ikea.
