NEW BLOG!

Hello againI've had a loong break from blogging. I've been busy so it's been good. Our renovations have now come to the exciting stage where we have a beautiful new kitchen (yay) and are about to start decorating. What better way to celebrate this than with a brand new blog about my two biggest hobbies - food and decorating!

You can find my new blog here. Don't forget to bookmark :)

Bukowskis

Check out this gorgeous sales counter from the 1920s. It for sale at Bukowskis online auctions in Sweden and would be the perfect bar counter for our new dining room. Now I just need to work out where I can get one in Sydney. I guess I could have one made, but I think it would lack a bit of charm.

I also want the same handles in our kitchen. At least you can buy those at Bunnings :)

Feature walls

Woohoo, got wallpaper samples in the post today. I think we've decided to use the middle one in our bedroom and the last one in the study/office. Can't wait until I can show you what it looks like!

Graduation day!

So, I've graduated from my masters. I've had a big day of celebrations and I'm about to go to bed so I'll just post a couple of pics of me in an academic dress. I felt very special and festive graduating at beautiful Sydney uni!

Obsession

Shirin is obsessed with the table I bought at the markets last weekend. She's asked me to tell the world that it is now her table and if anyone tries to get near it she will defend it, including anything that is placed on it. I had to fight with her this morning to get my handbag.

It's almost midnight and I'm still awake! Must finally be getting over my jetlag.

Today has been an amazing day. I've been to Surry Hills markets, had lunch with LMC and C, went furniture shopping with C in some random suburbs and then had dinner with PB at Chinta Ria. And the best of all - I bought two tables for our apartment. Woohoo! One side table and one 50s style coffee table. The only negative thing about this day was that some moron had parked in our car park. On a Saturday night in Manly there's not exactly a whole heap of street parks available so I had to drive around for 30 minutes to find one. NOT HAPPY! And I had to leave my tables in the car:( Things like this makes me want to buy a house!

Anyway, this is R carrying one of my tables from Surry Hills markets back to my car. Thanks R!

Because I'm too lazy to write a post..

..and because it's so funny!

Swedish summer- I want you back!

Just a few pics from our recent European holidays. I don't really have any good photos on my phone, which reminds me I have to sort through all the photos on my slr.

I can't wait until next summer when we can go back.
