One of my biggest passions is interior decorating. I have especially enjoyed decorating my daughter's nursery. One of the things that is hard in a small city in New Zealand is finding the 'right look'. Everywhere I turn there is Dora the Explorer and Winnie the Pooh, duvets, curtains, wall decalls. Dont get me wrong if you are into that sort of thing, good for you but I appreciate a more eclectic style, veering to the side of vintage I suppose you could say.
This has led to my other great passion, finding old furniture and home-wares to restore and reinvent. I love scouring the markets, recycling centre and the internet for great ideas that I can piece together myself.
This picture is of two pieces of art I made for my daughter's nursery to hang eitherside of her window. I brought the art canvases on special. I used silk flowers which I cut the heads off and arranged on the canvas using a hot glue gun, with a lick of paint on some timber framing both of these cost $30. I always get comments on them.
They were an easy project that I did in front of the TV in the later weeks of my pregnancy.
