Bianca's Bedroom Tour

BEFORE & AFTER

This is the latest interior decorating project I have been working on. It kept me occupied while I was pregnant with Sienna. Here is a before and after picture of Bianca's bedroom. I was so happy with the final outcome and pleased that I managed it on a shoe string budget. Most things are second hand, repainted, picked up from markets and garage sales etc.

Online Shopping Addiction

Well I have found my vice at the moment. In those rare but precious moments when both of my cherubs are sleeping I like to relax in front of the computer to puruse the shops.

I brought these gorgeous items for Bianca's room from a site calledhttp://felt.co.nz/

One is a cushion and the other goes on the wall.

I also brought these door plaques for the girls rooms (obviously with their own names on them). They are $19.95 each and available on trademe, the sellers name is kamhlz for anyone who is interested.

You can have too much Pooh Bear!!

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.
